| Quote Winslade's Offload="Winslade's Offload"You are quite correct, a few injuries could be very expensive for Wigan and Wire. So why would the club chairmen wan't to risk it ? After all, all SL chairmen are pretty renown for looking after their own interests at the expense of both other clubs and the game in general. It doesn't make sense does it ?'"
Why are the dragons and Broncos actually in it ? The dragons didnt make the play offs and Broncos went out the play offs at round one ? |

Because they volunteered for it. As I have already explained, the Aussies don't take the WCC seriously as far as they are concerned it's charity work to support their international board commitments - to show willing.

So from the 6 teams in the World Series, only saints, Wigan and Souths made the top 4.
It's a shambles. If it's to be done, it should be done proper. Teams volunteering to be in it is a joke.
Broncos asked to be part of it and then only bring 18 players and leave a host of good players in Oz.
Total waste of time. |

Well, if the Wire and Wigan games are well attended we might be able to persuade the Aussies to put in a bit more commitment. I suspect the only thing that will convince them will be money.
I am not sure Wire 'qualified' anyway. I heard a rumour that in back room discussions, Hudds turned it down because they refused to put up the £170k bond that the RFL demanded. |

Warrington qualified as the highest ranked losing GF semi-finalists (Rankings were based on the playoff positions which is consistent with you have to win GF to finish first) . It took a while for the reasoning to be clarified by the RFL |

That's true. Saints Wigan and Warrington all paid £170k for them to come over. Hopefully bumper crowds will cover that and make profit. |

If you're going to troll, at least get all your facts right. Prize money in SL is based on your overall end of season placing. Consequently after the play-offs Warrington were deemed to have an end of overall season placing of third.
It's not a smambles at all. Broncos chose to bring 18 players, that's up to them. |

They only left last night apparently, a week should be enough for professional players to get to grips. |
