[Nealo 12]

I just saw it on the Kayo televised time but no official word or announcement.

Good decision on the start. Hellish conditions for football.

What is on Foxtel that made them want the game so early?

8pm here is better for UK time too

I was in the West stand for a bit on the weekend and the Eastern side was actually cooler, 2nd half had some shade in the terrace too and gets a breeze.

So it might not be so bad. Especially if the Storm stays away and just cools it

 

[Whino]

All injuries reported as minor by Peter Lang.
Martin, Edwards, Luke, and Soro expected to be fit round 1.

Of those, Luke isn't a lock. A good performance from Cogger could make it interesting

 

[Stinkfinger]

St Helens to show why they’ve been the best team in the world for the last 4years

saints by 8
Hurrell FTS

Roosters beat em 3 years ago, proving you're full of shit.

I'm really warming to the idea of Cogger in 14.
He has good hands, good vision and can kick. Allows Kenny to continue playing stints as a running forward if needed. He's our best backup if we get an injury in the halves mid match.
Haven't seen enough of him to comment on his defence, but I've seen enough of Soni Luke.

Also free's up a spot in the halves in NSW Cup, letting us play 6/ Cole 7/ Falls and 9/ Luke.
And Cole needs to be playing at 6 regularly - especially with Tito and Jenkins locked in for the centres.

I agree, Normally I am all for developing for the future but Luke playing 20 mins off the bench doesn't really help his development.

NSW Cup is interesting. You'd think the 1-5 we ran with on the weekend is the top backline which leaves Cole as the 6, He signed for 4 years though so the club must have a plan for him to push towards the 17.
Maybe he is fill in now and bulks up and ends up in the Salmon/Peachey role moving forward

Darts?

 

[GongPanther]

Darts?

The game will be on at 9:50 am. Sky Sports would have had the premier league darts on the previous evening.

I think he’s joking

 

[The yak]

I can remember a time when the WWC was shown on 9.
Is their a radio call of the game?

I think ABC grandstand are doing it. BBC are tapping into ABC coverage.

BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra - Rugby League, Penrith Panthers v St Helens

Live rugby league commentary of Penrith Panthers v St Helens in the World Club Challenge.

You might have to listen online.

 

[GongPanther]

Don't know if The Treble is counted these days. If we do get it, we will have the Minor premiership, Premiership and WCC for the 2022-23 season.

Maybe #Blade23 can find out from Dave Middleton?

 

[Italianpanrherman]

i think

Interesting thread - whilst I don't think Saints will win the WCC I certainly think they will suprise a few based on some Panthers fan comments on here.

We're probably the most NRL-esque team to come out of SL in recent times, by which I mean we play with a high level of intensity that teams have struggled to live with. This Saints side is a team in the true sense of the word and I thiunk will give a good account of themselves.

Players like Makinson, Welsby, Percival, Lomax, Dodd, Walmsley, Knowles, Roby, Lees, Bachelor would all get a run in good NRL sides in my opinion. Then there are the ex NRL lads like Sironen, Lussick, Paasi, Sione, Hurrell who are decent players albeit not amongst our very best.

I think eventually a good few of the players who play in a couple of weeks will end up in the NRL and will be some of the better players to have done so (Welsby and Dodd in particular).

I think you'll enjoy the game and Saints will give a strong account of ourselves and SL.

i believe the game will be closer than anyone thinks
