Group 4 vs Hull hmmmm have a feeling that Hull is about 3-4 divisions higher than Group 4 if a world compition was played and both entered
40+ tempratures compared to low to negative tempratures, hmmmmm really starting to see the simularities with the preperation now :?
4 games up against 1, yes they are getting clearer now arn't they :roll:
Travel halfway around the world compared to living a drive away yes another simularity that would indicate they have has the same prep :roll:
Fully agree, the game play that lead us to winning the NRL comp I somehow doubt will be on show against the Bulls tomorrow morning yet again giving the Bulls yet another edge in this WCC
Don't confuse Hull Kingston Rovers with Hull FC!
Hull KR play in the National League and as I said earlier in another post this was a Testimonial game for Robbie Paul with token appearances from some of his former team mates.
Three of the four games you would like to include were played almost exclusively with Bradford Bulls U21s the only exception being the Huddersfield game.
West Tigers have had the same amount of time to make suitable preparations for this game. If they have chosen to play just one warm up game, arrive in the UK just 4 days prior to the match and in general hav'nt prepared properly then thats a reflection on them!
This can be said of all the teams that have taken part in the WCC.
The British sides have been open to playing this game anywhere in the world! They have openly stated that they would play it on a different date if that was required. The fact is the NRL does'nt want to promote it or take a risk financialy by underwriting it.
Hell the Australian administration has to have its arm twisted before they'll do international matches.
The blame for the lack of games played in Australia either the WCC or by Test matches lies fairly and squarely at the door of the Ausies.
