Nobody wants to play them in the world club thingy, apparently 6 of the 7 top teams don't want the hassle for a meaningless game.

No probs. It's something they don't have to worry about....again!!!!

Yeah, just read that on 18th man. Can't say I blame them, really - long way to come for a fairly meaningless game.

The Aussies don't want to travel but Wire could travel instead which is what Wigan were planning to do if they hadn't won.

I think it is a real shame if Wire and Hull do not get games. I do wish that their assistance would support them international game and stop messing us about. I hope England can win the four nations and then the WC so that maybe they might start taking seriously.

Is that because Warrington are still not classified as a " big" club due to there GF 100% failure rate.

I think the 3 Wire fans in the picture have a problem, the tin of paint they keep at the ready to fill YEAR in will have skinned over and they will have to throw it away and get a new tin.

I'm just glad we've made the proper world club game because I really didn't see the point in us playing another glorified friendly unless they were indeed using it as a pre season tour down under.

As for Wire, what can you say?! The wait goes on and for all the glittering rugby they've played through the year, I would have been pretty miffed on Saturday if I were a Wire. Their 'gameplan' consisted of constant scoots from dummy half and a raft of hit and hope bombs (which nearly worked).

Wire froze a little IMO on Saturday and went away from their usual style of play. They'll need to be braver then that to get one over the line. Full credit to Tony Smith and the players though because they were very gracious in defeat.

I still dont know why Mark Calderwood decided to get involved....

I thought it was Phil Ford going off the style of the clothes, but then again nothing goes out of fashion in Warrington,

Poor Hull as well they had a thread on the WCC right after the Wembley win they were quite excited about it..

I'm not fussed to be honest I wouldn't have wanted to play the Storm we'd have so many players injured by them it would be unreal.

plus we put a lot of effort in to trying to beat the dragons in 2015 (mainly due to some niggle that happened in a previous pre season training session we had with them a couple of years prior which ended being a bit tasty). we lost 12-18 and it ruined the start of our season and we never recovered from it and finished 7th. it was literally our best performance of the season!!

the whole attitude of the Sydney based NRL towards expanding the game is non existent. Christ they wont even take an NRL grand final to Brisbane.

drop the WCC lets grow our own game spend money over here not on the likes of the melbourne storm and cronulla sharks two of the dodgiest rugby league clubs on the planet....
