I know it's technically not called that now, but it's best known as that and it should stick..

Anyway...

Are they on sale yet..??

Are we expecting a sell out after the World Cup..??

Any ESL players we can expect...??

I heard the Corporate boxes are very popular which is great...

Only about 6 weeks away I think....

did'nt the NZRL say it ain't worth picking ESL players??
well now that Greg Eastwood is staying in the NRL... the only ESL player from the team that won the world cup is Thomas Leuluai..

so yes.... hes certainly not worth it...

he really isnt spud. solid, but half a dozen fullback that are better than him.

i would have lance hohaia anyday of the week. he is really starting to stand out and do some remarkable things over the last year or two.

Isn't Webb too 'match unfit'

Hohaia seems to be the best choice FB for the Kiwis..

So no Tix info...??

I haven't heard when they are on sale, bloody hell aren't Origin tix on sale...??

I'm gonna have a think about this before I buy tickets. The last 2 Aus v NZ matches I went to were the most boring games of League i;ve ever seen (obviously not the WC final, they were the centenary anzac test and the WC group match)

OK, so we are a month away from the match now..

I won't be going because of geographical and time contraints, so I won't jump up and down and 'urge' people to go if tix sales are low - But for those who can go, I URGE them to go. Take my place..Spend the stimulus money on it if you have to... :lol:

So we had a nice big PAX discussion at the WC last year, does anyone have a PAX fro this match..

Brisbane sold out their Origin match in a day this week, so why isn't the next step up - the Test arena - also sold out...??

We have the WC holders versus the RLIF number 1 team..

The pre-game compere for the Broncos / Dragons game certainly advertised it with several mentions and the give-away of tickets to people at that game.

I'm a bit worried that there might be a RLWC 'hangover' and people might be a bit apathetic towards another contest between the two teams only 6 months later. Plus as mentioned previously 2 of the last 3 games have not exactly been 'must watch' footy. Need another epic ala RLWC Final.

Unfortunately I'll be unable to get to the game myself this year, but all of us lovers of the international game should be marketing / advocating / promoting the hell out of it.

As a sidline, it would be great to see a PNGRL Juniors/U19 team play in a curtain-raiser. Still think a lot of kids who come down to Qld/NSW for schooling are lost to the rah rah ranks via boarding school. An early rep goal could keep them in our game.
