This game should have been shown by Sky.
It will also be fascinating to see how Matt King goes on his debut against his old club.
If Wire can win it will be a magnificent achievement and maybe open the door for an expanded World Club Challenge/Champions League.
Great to see these quotes from Briers and Simon Moran the Wire owner.

Victory would offer a signal of intent to rivals back home but Briers is thinking about the bigger picture.
“A win would get the Warrington Wolves brand known better because there’ll be more newspaper coverage and more television notice,” said the 33-year-old stand off.
That has been one of the aims of owner Simon Moran and the board of directors during the three-week training camp in Sydney.
“We’ll be going full-on in this game and I’m sure South Sydney will too. It’s like a mini World Club Challenge,” he added.

As a Bunnies fan I must concur.
Shame we won't get to see it live.

There is nothing to suggest that their facilities are a world apart.
Just reading up on Redfern Oval, it was their home ground until 1987, and they now play an annual Return to Redfern pre-season game.

Why are most Union scores divisible by three?..Beats me.9/12/ 2011, Cardiff Blues and Edinburgh fight an even Heineken Cup clash scoring one try apiece. Final score Cardiff 25 Edinburgh 8.
30/3/2012, Sale visit Newcastle and score 3 tries to 1 in a one sided game. Final score Newcastle 22 Sale 19.
18/5/2012, Amlin Challenge Cup Final, Biarritz 21 Toulon 18, (7 pens v 5 pens and drop goal, tries:- zip, none, sod all)

This game means jack. Why should it have been shown on Sky? It'll go the same way as the Rhinos/Rabbits trial game a few years back where Leeds ran up a 22 point lead in the 1st half playing their full team before the Rabbitohs pegged it back a bit in the 2nd half when both teams play more fringe/20's players.

Ok, so it's understandable Wire being nervous about their opposition first up in SL 2012, but to fly to OZ to face an NRL side in an attempt to prepare themselves for Feb 5th seems a bit extreme to me.
Nah! Fifty plus
