If even you admit that the NRL premiers are considered second string, it's not surprising that the Superleague champs win more often than not. As for the Aussie preparation, what else can you expect from a side representing their poor amateur comp? They may be able to win the NRL title without adequate preparation, but to step up to the next level and win the World Club Challenge you need to do more.

Ok, I concede that this one MIGHT sell out (or be very close to it) seeing as Wigan are a well supported club AND it's being played at your home ground.

I didn't say that, I said [ifor clubs to call themselves best in the world[/i. Not the same thing at all.

I'd forgotten St George played games in the Gong, but as the Leagues club and Jubilee Oval are at Kogarah... they've got you surrounded! Mwahahahahaha!

It's a pity they don't relocate to the Gong forever! Illawarra Steelers were good enough to bail them out... they should have insisted on it!

Didn't Leeds pack 39k into Elland Rd a few years back? Wigan will fill the JJB, no question. There's plenty of interest in the game over here, as long as it is strategically planned.

Assuming you are a widnes supporter would you have any interest in watching Wigan v Illawarra?
