The 2013 World Cup Thread

[ParraSteve]

Are ALL the games going to be on Channel 9? Or some on Fox and the big ones on 9?

7 actually has the rights to the world cup

Yep, all games will be shown in HD on 7Mate.

Seven will broadcast all RLWC2013 matches in Australia on the 7mate channel. The deal is part of an all-encompassing agreement covering broadcast and subscription television rights, IPTV, interconnected TV, catch-up TV, pay per view, video on demand and digital rights.

When does it start?

 

[Bigfella]

Its a sign of how well we are travelling that Wenty has about twice as many players involved in the World Cup as we do.

[Gronk]

Samoa: Ken Sio (Parramatta)

Australia: Jarryd Hayne (Parramatta)

Updated via Wikipedia

Updated via Tonga facebook

[Taniela Lasaolo (not considered), Kelepi Tanginoa & Willie Tonga (injured), Vai Toutai (Jnr Kangaroos) ]

Updated: It's not our Junior Paulo, it's the Penrith one.

I wonder what is the heritage of our Junior Paulo. If he was eligible for one of the Pacific Island teams, you would think he would have at least made the extended squads given that Peni Terepo and Kelepi Tanginoa (before injury ruled him out) both nabbed spots in one of the stronger teams in Tonga.

*Edit*

Derp! I just remembered that he was picked for the Junior Kangaroos. I am on fire today.

Movie on tonight on Fox Classics @ 8.30pm + 10.30pm on FC2 is The First Kangaroos. Might be worth a look (could be a shocker too).
