Likely Wigan team for WCC

[stsae]

Sorry mate I was referring to their trash talk on the Wigan forum.. I'll be at the game with bells on ...

Jingle bells, Gherkin smells, Johnny flew away......

[stephenj]

it will be much harder for the poms to win over here than its been for aussie sides to win in the uk!

[roosterproud]

38 nil is still the largest winning margin for and aussie team to beat the pommmms in the wcc ...

me thinks that's a challenge

Hopefully that ben flower thug will get suspended for that late high shot he did on Luke Walsh and miss the WCC!

I don't want any of those wigan pr!cks trying any of those cheap dirty tactics on us in a desperate attempt to try and put us off our game, seeing it as the only way they can possibly beat us. Hopefully they will get a stern warning before the game against doing any such crap!

Very good point the last thing we want is some thug looking for notoriety giving one of our boys a nasty injury

Yes, this is a big worry - a third rate thug breaking Maloney's jaw and then having JWH suspended for 12 weeks for retaliating.

By the way, who referees these games?

R74 I can easily see wigan resorting to dirty tactics, thinking that it is their best (only) chance of beating us, cause in a fair fight we win.

I will be interested to know if there will be zero tolerance for throwing punches in the WCC, like what the NRL brought in after gallen punched myles in origin. If that is the case and wigan players want to throw punches, let them, don't retaliate and let them get sin binned/sent off.

Players for both teams should be warned that there will be zero tolerance for any foul play, with severe punishments a consequence with binning/sending off players and lengthy suspensions.

As SO66 mentioned, we don't want that type of scenario happening!

These wigan props sound like the RL equivalent of Kevin Muscat...

Turn it in worrying about Wigan's 'dirty tactics' guys, you're making us sound like a bunch of shirt lifters.

It's a game to determine best team in the world...not a tickling competition.

They're not coming all this way for a swim and a look at the Harbour Bridge.

That's 'cause Pommies can't swim.

I don't think worrying about cheap shot merchants is a sign that you are soft. Just ask Ellery Hanley

[Spirit of 66]

To put this in context, winning back-to-back NRL titles is far more important than this exhibition match. If we lose players through injury or suspension from foul play, I will be very disappointed.

(Does anybody really think that this is a match between the two best teams in the world? Does anyone think that Wigan would win anything but a wooden spoon if their team of English second-raters and NRL rejects and pensioners had to play week to week here?)

Ellery wasn't sat in the stand though was he, like us lot.

If you seriously think that the Super League champions (and I'm talking about previous years as well, not just Wigan) wouldn't be competitive over here, you've got your head in the sand.

There are plenty of shit teams here mate, they're not all world beaters. How many times have you watched Parra the last couple of years and thought 'yeah, these blokes can play'? Or the Titans, St George, Wests.....
