only 2 weeks and ill be jetting off anyone else going?

a week today.

I've noticed Fox sports have some video footage /clips on their site but only available to those down under. Anyone know of any media coverage to watch during the build up?

28th I go.

If England do play to their full potential and come back victorious what sort of media coverage do you think they will get...maybe as much as an england footballer when he changes his hair do????

Wish you'd warned me about slide #4. Nearly lost my lunch.

Interesting!

Feckin ell! It'll be East Hull Vs West Hull next.

It's up to 'other' teams to raise their standards Imo. This for me would not be constructive for the sport.
It would be like having two Aussie sides in the competition....Typical Aussies Monopolising the game.

SOO



Internationals

That would be a stupid idea. Id rather watch two different countries in the final, rather than two teams from the same country!

Utter tripe.


GB has not been weakened because no player who was good enough to play for england is playing for a lesser nation.

Its just more of the perenial aussie bull$hit that tries to devalue these competions by saying australia are far to good to bother with the rest of the $hit in the comp.

Its about time we shut these bar stewards up.

It's nothing more than a Wally Lewis brag-a-thon.
IMO of course.

Agreed!!!

Would love to see it happen but dont think im going to anytime soon

He is what he is, a Wally.

Well, it would seem he is achieving what he set out to achieve.

Editted for accuracy.

The thing is hes right.

Queensland or NSW would win the world cup.

The Rugby League World Cup begins on Saturday.
I read a letter in the Rugby League Express asking all rugby league supporters to put England car flags on their cars.
The letter was from someone from Warrington and I believe we can get all rugby league supporters to join forces and fly the flag.
So lets all show support for our game and get your flags out for the lads (or girls)

Bot NZ and GB (england) have beaten australia in one off games. It is not gaureteed that australia will win the world cup let alone NSW or Queensland.


Though I admit there is that much talent in aussie that the two SOO sides are not that much behind the national side.

I think it is highly likely that aussie will win the world cup, and yes NSW or Queensland could probably beat NZ and GB. But it just stinks of arragance.

Due to politics you could probably say some Origin sides have been stronger than the National side.

Also you never hear of players choosing to miss Origin games barring Lyon but you do about Internationals.

bugger off, theyre red n white

The aussies are no doubt arrogant, but probably rightly so. THey could probably put out 3 sides who would all make the semis.

An Aussie side consisting of players only playing in the SL would give England a game and wouldnt be a shock if they came out on top.

You're not wrong

Just had a quick think about it and i would have lining up like this...

Greenshields
Donald
Gidley
Mogg
Richards
Carney
Sherwin
Cayless
Buderus
Vella
Morrison
Crocker
Menzies

Berrigan
Carlaw
Ryles
Cashmere

Thats some side
