RLWC '22 Just when you thought the season was over

[Aucklander]

Yea, it's just around the corner.

Double header October 26th.

England v Australia and Wales v Italy.

Go the Kiwis!!

 

[moto748]

Must. Buy. Tickets.

 

[damochandler]

that's the lead into the world cup one would think

 

[Aucklander]

Scummy Bill pulls out. No great surprise given he's turned his back on the Kiwis before.

 

[moto748]

Really? That'a poor.

 

[Aucklander]

Really? That'a poor.

Yes. Has other commitments apparently.

As a new rugby league fan, ive always wondered what its like in Kangaroos camps with NSW & QLD players...

 

[Aucklander]

Now he's had a change of heart.

Sonny Bill Williams has provided renewed hope that he will return to the Sydney Roosters next year after belatedly putting up his hand to help New Zealand's World Cup defence.

As someone pointed out on a UK site I was reading earlier, no-one would disrespect the All Black jersey like that (or, if they did, they'd never wear it again). Doing it to the Kiwis is just as bad. In an ideal world, Kearney would tell him to eff right off!

Ah, that explains why England v Australia is at Cardiff.

I was thinking that made absolutely no sense.

Actually it still doesn't.

Makes perfect sense. It is a double header to open the world cup.

Yeah I know that now, but I don't see the need to open the World Cup with a double header, the fact that they are WC games should be an event in themselves. I also am not a fan of the double header semi-finals, would make so much more sense to have one at Wembley and one at Old Trafford (or Millennium Stadium).

 

[Aucklander]

SBW into the squad and poor Tohu Harris cut from it.

Feel very sorry for Harris and hope he gets another chance soon.

 

[Fire Storm]

How many of the Burgess boys will be in the GB team?


SBW not earning any friends.....again.....but he needs to play. Feeling the passion for the NZ RL team might entice him to stay longer.....might not either.

None. However, There are there Burgess brothers in the England side. Luke was the one to miss out.

 

[Fire Storm]

Yes....England. Not GB. The Irish can field their own team...


Burgess' in the England team.
SBW in the NZ team.

Along with the aussie team, going to be a smash a thon.

Arguably the strongest world cup ever. The big three as strong as ever but Wales, Tonga, France, Samoa, PNG, Fiji and even the Cooks field very strong test sides. Hell, even through i don't agree with Italy being there they will also be fielding a strong side. And it is great to see every country has local bases players in there squads.
I haven't been this excited about a world cup since the 1995 world cup. I can't wait!!

 

[CooperCronk]

Next Saturday, hell yeah, can't wait!!

As long as Mrs. Burgess doesn't make the press (as she did at the Rabbitohs games) I'll be happy

Its great for qlders, the nswmen teach them all sorts of things, how to read, brush your teeth, shower with soap.

The QLDers come back so sophisticated.

Italy just beat england.

I have had to rethink my position, I will now be surprised to see england out of the quarters the merkins.

I think England will do well, being beaten in a trial means zilch. They'll will fire up for the real comp.
