Quote ="wrencat1873"Of course they are playing to win, they are all pro sportsmen.
However, do you accept that they would have bee even better, had they had 2 rounds of their domestic comp.
The answer is clearly yes.
IF we want ot have a "fair" comp, then surely the answer is to start both leagues (English and Australian)at the same time.
Just imagine what the disparity would be if the English clubs hadn't had a couple of games already.'"
Maybe a slight edge but come on its only 2 freakin games and a lot of the NRL players coming over have probably had more intense warm up games than some of the SL sides have had leading in here i mean take that joke at Salford last week for Saints! (of course that is now showing).
The way some go on here we are half way through our season playing these games.
Also, why do people get so narked about us having to have a slight edge to even it up a bit? YES we need home advantage and a couple of games to make it more of a contest but crikey, The NRL player pool is huge in comparison, they take our very best and also have a huge difference in cap.there is no shame in being a clear 2nd to there league.Just enjoy this concept for what it is.
