World Club Challenge - NOT live on Nine

[Willow]

I hate to say it but in Australia the WCC is pretty much like a trial match.

You wouldn't be saying that if it was the bulldogs playing.

It's an excellent concept and great for rugby league.

Manchester united is a world famous club - stgeorge Illawarra is not.

lol. It's not a soccer forum. You're in a rugby league forum. Did you forget?

StGeorge Illawarra are far from the most famous
of RL clubs.

Where do the sharks rate? The jealously runs deep in this one.

WCC is a hyped up trial game, nothing more.

No different from the charity shield.

Ah... so you really are a soccer supporter.

And lol @ those saying 6am is too early. Are you guys serious?

FMD, what a soft bunch.

Regardless of which teams play I do everything I can to watch league even a bad game of league is miles ahead of afl or union. Hopefully a stream is available no matter what time it is on I will be watching it.

You argue to argue Poupou - take your own advice, STFU. For once. It's getting boring. At least BunniesMan is original and demonstrates some knowledge of what the hell he is on about.

Getting to you huh?

 

[Willow]

Poo poo, face it. You really do talk nothing but sh*t.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Nah seriously, minor prems two years in a row; you were deserving premiers.

I'm just bored and stinging for the season to start.

 

[Willow]

I know that poo.

And quite frankly, I support a club that is about to play an international.

Only an idiot wouldn't look forward to that.

Yeah well my club just won a trial match and now we're premiership favourites again.

I've never understood the dismissive attitude of some when discussing the WCC. The game has its faults in terms of fairness of scheduling and timing, though I thoroughly look forward to the game each and every season. I look forward to 2011's given Wigan are playing though even when we have missed out, I've always made the effort to watch this game. True rugby league fans I am sure feel the same.

Better its on FOX as opposed to nine, no ad breaks every 5 minutes....as long as you have FOX that is

 

[BigBadWilly]

Hey when is this actually on?

spot on, i feel exactly the same way! true fans of rugby league should look forward to watching this game every year! the game itself is always a top clash with a lot of passion and drama!

It should be a championship match between the two best teams from each hemisphere at the height of the form that won them their titles. But it's played about four months too late for that by disjointed squads out of match practice and altered by retirements, transfers to rival clubs, and new arrivals who played no part in winning their titles. Until the match is scheduled such that it can live up to its potential and be a genuine championship contest, it will be hard for any true fan to treat it as anything more than what it is - an error riddled pre-season trial game that's a mere shadow of the great idea it could be.
