2026 WCC Thu - Hull KR 30-24 Brisbane @ MKM

[MRN]

Which club is gunna blink first, sack their coach and bring in Willie Peters?

Cowboys might be up there if they have a slow start.

 

[Taking The Two]

Would love this game to be the showpiece event in Vegas. They put on a show anyway, we can do it on the pitch.

WCC is a testament to what can happen when a referee calls what's in front of him without preconceived ideas about certain teams.

 

[MRN]

I'll see you tonight to ride the Panthers home

@This Year? hearing more games tonight.

If Souths don't have him on a retainer in case of.. ahh... a "deceased estate"... then they're mental

 

[Taking The Two]

Everything ended with Ezra Mam tonight. He killed momentum almost every time he had the ball. Probably the poorest I’ve see him play.

Imagine if that happened? Has a coach ever died midseason? Like in 1908, a coach could have got a splinter and that'd probably be it.

I get the sense that's how Wayne will exit the game.

I get the sense that's how Wayne will exit the game.

and his epitaph will be "but I've got two interchanges left"

 

[Vic Mackey]

I get the sense that's how Wayne will exit the game.

Wayne would die in the box and no one would notice for like an hour

The game is obviously refereed a little different over there, the blatant offsides and skinny 10 metres would be pinged here for sure. That being said, Brisbane weren't up to the conditions (1-2deg) and the rules, fair enough though. It's a tough bit of scheduling for Australian sides that make the trek. Hull played tough and gritty, Broncs, rocks and diamonds. Hull deserved that win. Bring a SL side here, they would be mid table at best with our rules, pace and heat.

 

[Michael Matral]

I'm all for the WCC to be in Vegas with the NRL side having a trial or two under their belt. Maybe an NRL game, a SL game and then the WCC to promote Rugby League, the game, not just the NRL, to help grow the sport.

Loves a good swinging arm in the tackle does old Ezra

England treats this game as a Champions League Final... That's what makes the difference.

 

[soc123_au]

Forgot this was on and missed it. Did the soap dodgers have to ground the ball over the try line to get points, or did we continue the trend of "somewhere in the vicinity"?

Yeah exactly. As well as the weather, the fact it's pre-season for the NRL, they play a bit of bruise-free stuff not wanting to get injured for the season, the travel...the Pom sides start 12-18 ahead straight away.

 

[Perth Red]

Never in doubt!
when will nrl give SL teams a game?

Hull KR were the better team. They flew out of the gates. The Broncos didn't start really trying until about 55 minutes or so into the game, but butchered too many chances. The refereeing was solid with no howlers that I saw.
