Sydney is an utterly miserable place to be during summer. Way to hot and humid

It’s great on the harbour or at a beach or river.

Given much of what has passed for comment in the Oz punditry and in certain cases might as well be from a ouija board, it is hard to recognise some individuals as ever having had TGG's best interest at heart.

there's not many modern day players I would class as irreplaceable but Kikou is one for mine - no way panthers will be as good without him

They'd be sold out.

Also:

Kick-off has been put back an hour because of the expected heat.

The National Rugby League will adjust the kick-off times to NRL Pre-Season matches on Saturday, including the World Club Challenge between the Panthers and St Helens at BlueBet Stadium.

GAMEDAY GUIDE: Everything you need to know

The decision was made due to player safety concerns around the forecasted heat and humidity in regional NSW and Western Sydney.
