2016 World Club Series: 19-21 February

[Kiwi]

Wigan are the premiership favourites, right?

All things considered they should probably win this weekend

So are the Broncos

 

[Harrigan]

Wigan, Saints and Leeds were the top 3 rated clubs for the premiership before the season started. Wigan are 2 unconvincing wins from 2, Saints won big in week one but got flogged in week 2 and Leeds lost a game they should have won in week one and got flogged by Widnes at the weekend. I do think all 3 will have their best games to date this weekend but I reckon the shaky starts have been due to the WCS games. These mean a hell of a lot more to the UK teams than they do the NRL.

Matt Cecchin has been confirmed as the video referee for the WCC match. Wigan v Brisbane main ref is still TBC but could be Cecchin as well. Only Australian official involved - the rest are from RFL

There's a team with Burns and Walsh as halves? Must bring back awesome memories for penrith fans...

Burns has now been removed from the halves and has been playing as an interchange hooker for the reserves, but yeah it was a horrible partnership even at Super League level.

The only thing I care about is no injures. Don't care if we are lapped by 100, just don't get injured.

 

[Timmah]

Squads and officials are in for both of the first two games.

 

[_snafu_]

Let's go.

 

[roughyedspud]

Blake fergusons nose has gone

 

[roostersrule2]

Nikorima concussion test, this season is getting worse.

 

[roughyedspud]

Nikorima knocked out

 

[roughyedspud]

And thats why we shouldn't have different rules..

 

[Unscrupulous]

Oh Latrell. Oh my.

 

[roostersrule2]

Latrell is God.

Evans has been great all game, deserved that try.

 

[Unscrupulous]

Alright so we can strike Hastings off the 'reliable goalkickers' list.

That leaves..... nobody. Cool.

 

[roostersrule2]

Niko and Guerra! Yesssss!

Morley!!!!

 

[Unscrupulous]

I'm calling Mitchell at fullback by round 10. Fergo is just too clunky and stifling. Not a natural ball player.

 

[Unscrupulous]

Much better conversion.

 

[Harrigan]

Which commentator fits more words into a passage of play!! Hadley or Studd?! :lol:

 

[Unscrupulous]

Not forward.
