No ones arguing that it wouldn't be better to have it mid-season when both sides are supposedly at their best. The problem is some people (ahem) think that if it can't be played under absolutely ideal circumstances it is a pointless excercise. I say it's still worth playing no matter when and where. The WCC games are among the best of the year and to do away with them just because the timing is not perfect is so typical of the attitude that has held rugby league back for so long.Ricardihno said:English Teams are getting better though....maybe if they had a 97 Style Set Up again they would get more wins...I am reflecting on 97 because apart from Wigans deserved win against Brisbane in what? 94?.( great effort ) no WCC Games were played when sides were full strength Mid Season and match fit....thats the point I'm raising...you have a better chance at getting a bigger spectacle if it was during the season....its just finding the right time...Pre Season ruins the concept...you want both sides to be at their best...thats my argument anyway

Let's see how well Saints go in Australia in the middle of the Brisbane summer in front of a big Brisbane crowd. I don't need to remind you how well English sides have gone on Australian soil in the past, cricket scores are the norm I believe. There's a challenge for the boys, who can score more, Brisbane or Australia in the ashes.

A loss won't devastate me, I'll admit that, but it's something that I WANT to win. I want my club to be involved, I want my club to field the best possible line up and I want my club to win the WCC. Regardless of how it is viewed by people who think differently from me, I'd love to have the WCC trophy at Red Hill.
