Whilst we don't get any competition points i think in terms of belief for the rest of the year Friday is massive. You'd like to think the place will be buzzing if we can get a result.

And as a fan i'd remember a win against the Roosters for years, a win against Salford or Hull KR not so much.

The aussies scored some good tries ?

Maybe play it in October when the weather is better

Totally agree.

If we want to grow as a sport then international fixtures are the way. With France being decades away from having a competitive league the only option open is Australia.

The only people is really helps are the Aussie teams,Brisbane said it helped them last year and this year It was said it was valuable to the Roosters to in getting prep done.

I think the 3 Oz teams said they had built the event into there training patterns and the weather wasn't much of a problem. I should imagine its easier to train at a constant 80 degrees then play a game at 50 degrees, than train at a constant 50 degrees and play a game at 80 degrees.

Oh dear. After all these years and the obvious failure of the Salary Cap it still has defenders on this board. You couldn't make it up.







As for Saints at the moment, you are a very average side but the standard in SL has slipped so far that with better coaching I think you could be in with a real chance of winning something. Thanks to the SC you don't have to be good to win a trophy. Not sure I understand the despair on this issue, just replace KC with say a talented young Aussie assistant coach looking to prove himself at head coach level and you'll be ok.
