Things are looking very promising in the States. I think it would have been better if the NZ Warriors had been included in the first games. A NZ team may have created more interest and showed the Yanks that League is, an international game and not just played by the Aussies.

I was on about the gate at ST Helens

Bit worrying when you can't fill up a moderately sized stadium in a league area, when when a good game was assured.

Game available on Live Sport Streams.

It would be interesting no know, just how many who complain on here about attendances actually went to the final.

You know what SL would think in that regard Eddie.

In a nutshell the game is too slow. There is no intensity in the game, watching UK league after the NRL is like watching a game at half pace. I think players in the RL are quite capable of matching it with the Aussies, they just need coaches that can put some fire under them and speed up the game. No future in signing second rate Aussies or those over the hill they just adapt to the pace of the UK game..

Thanks for the links Gnidnr. Good to watch these girls try to master the game of RL.

I think the Warriors have a good chance of pulling it off. They only lost by four when they last met

When NRL expand the comp, surely they must base a team in Ch- CH. The support for the Warriors here is incredible and this would be the case if case if they chose CH-CH.. Basing a team in the St Island would help to break the dominance of RU here. The support is there ,just need the NRL to have some foresight.

With Mt Smart being full for the Warriors game they are opening Eden Park to take the excess .Big screen and free admission. Weather forecast good. Be interesting to see how many they pull in.

When the ticket sale opened it took 40 minutes for Mt Smart to sell out

Would have to be CH CH. Great league support (in the past)for big games and a NRL team there would be well supported.

Who would have thought that a soft try would prevent a Dogs win and that's what happened. We looked very lethargic until the last ten minutes even so Halifax could not break the Dogs defence. We were all over them in those last ten minutes and they looked to be st-ffed by that stage. Just left it too late to snatch the win.

Not a mention on line, of tomorrows game in the Batley News,Yet the Dewsbury Reporter is full of it. That's strange really.

That's great that the game is on Our League. Looking forward to that.

Batley have had a great season and should cap it off on Sat.

Better to call the darned thing off. Ten teams in the WC and six of of those stacked with NRL players. Some of those selected having never been to the country they represent. Also the risk of alienating some countries who could possible think of giving the game away.

Don't think the NRL will venture out of NSW or Queensland. They don't have appetite for opening the game up and that goes for Internationals too. Disappointing really.

Great to see we have made it to Wembley. Stayed up and watched the scores coming in until half time on the BBC web site.

Great result for the Dogs on both attack and defence. Who would have thought we would be second in the League at this stage.. Any chance of seeing the highlights Bob?

They can't even fill the stadiums when the top six are playing, as we have seen in the past.

NZ could hold the RLWC on a stand alone basis and It would be one of the best, far better than in Aussie were they have been in the past, poorly attended. Kiwis are well known for supporting big events and you could guarantee big crowds in the main centers. It's a full house at MT Smart tonight for the Souths v Warriors game around 27,000 and would be much bigger if they could fit them in.

Thanks for all the updates keeping us informed on RL developments around the world. Much appreciated!

I was always a big fan of the WP so hope this comp works out alright. Things may have been much better if they had been treated equally at the begining.
