I expect the Storm to win this. If they don't they will say its a pre season trial.
This showcase game needs to be played in the like's of Singapore, Hong kong, Bangkok, Dubai. Places with large expat communitys. We need to chase the corparate dollar on this one,

I hope they are all tested for drugs, we know what these Aussies are like!

I agree B-F....play it at Dubai or the like....unfortunately these days it's all about ratings and not so much the gate, so may as well get some money from the rich end of town along the way.

D&D....The p0mmies will have to much of a jump on us, and run rings around us like a 2 year old colt....
Enjoy your sausages this morning did you....

Perhaps potential good news about the WCC?

Can one of you lads please give me the thumbs up of what time (UK) this WCC game is programmed to kick-off.....

I've got FOX sports telling me I have to get up @ 3.00a.m Sat. morning, which means a 4.00p.m Fri kick-off U.K which seems to early for a Fri. game.

Then the news-paper is telling me it's on @ 7.00a.m of which makes it a 8p.m U.K kick-off which sounds more plausible...

According to the BBC Rugby League page the KO is 8pm UK time.
