2016 World Club Series: 19-21 February

[Valheru]

Much like the World Cup, there's more important things to these games than winning, at the moment.

It's about growing the game, something we are notoriously poor at partially because arrogant Australians shit on anything that doesn't yield immediate results.

It generates big interest and draws big crowds in England. This is part of the answer of improving Super League.

Oh, and Wigan and Leeds would handle mid-lower NRL teams comfortably. Cowboys and Broncos will embarrass teams a lot worse than that this year.

I want it to succeed, I really do but these results are hardly helping and won't grow anything if they continue. This is supposed to be the best against the best. Ok, so we all know the NRL is better but surely the ESL can put teams in that don't get beat by 30 every time in their own conditions?

I was actually expecting both St Helens and Wigan to give a good account of themselves and possibly win but obviously the standard is worse than I first thought.
