As do I , however this sport like any other is much bigger than you or I , nobody has the right to decide who can play it or watch it

From an income perspective though, it's quite handy to play your home matches slightly nearer than 12,000 miles away!



As for not affecting us, we can only hope that either Wigan or Hull's next fixture (after their trip to Oz) is against us. Although, right now, I would happily settle for us just being able to play Wigan and Hull next season!

Will there be free coach travel for away fans?

Only if it's on a Thursday!

I Presume they'll play a game prior to an NRL game, the only problem with this is most of the time they tend to have New South Wales cup/Queensland cup games and Holden under 20's games prior to the main NRL game.
Could always be a curtain raiser to State of Origin game though, least you'd get a big crowd and it wouldn't be on too early in the UK about 8 or 9am me thinks.
On the subject of travel I was born in Leigh, went to college in Leigh and followed Leigh all around the country Home and most aways and even managed to attend 2 games this year at LSV -24000 Mile round trip. Living in New Zealand I love my rugby league so i go to watch the New Zealand Warriors each year they have to play a game in Perth Australia thats a 9 hour flight from Auckland, every 2 weeks they have to play in Aussie which is a 4 hour flight, I don't attend away games too expensive.
Just thought i'd put my twopenneth in about playing games away from home.
