if you read down.to the 5th paragraph he talks about the world club, is it definently in Austrailia? i presume he is an aussie journalist and the article was from 5 days ago
Perth seems an absurd idea. Surely it has to be Sydney.

Re: Sydney Roosters it is!!!
With the present poor state of the economy in our country and the employment situation, it will be a big disapointment for the wast majority of supporters if the game is not held here at the DW Stadium.
Wrong time to be taking the game down under as less supporters will be able to afford it compared with a few season's ago, when times were better.

like he says, the economy is on its arse and the exchange rate is not as good as it used to be, i am very tempted to go over but would prefer to stay here,20 quid ticket; 30 quid for pints, job done!

Yes, if it was in Sydney there would be less beer money for you!!!RobWigan wrote:like he says, the economy is on its arse and the exchange rate is not as good as it used to be, i am very tempted to go over but would prefer to stay here,20 quid ticket; 30 quid for pints, job done!
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Much harder sell in Perth too. The easiest sell in Aus IMO is Queensland but a NSW Club v ourselves precludes that I think.
P.S Have they got a big garden? camping might be an option

Re: Sydney Roosters it is!!!
Well I've been in Queensland for 3 weeks now and I would be stoked if it was in Sydney, you can fly from Brisbane to Sydney return $150, come on Wigan make it happen.
I always knew that I liked this place, you don't have to look to far to find a friendly face, I feel alive when I'm walking on this street, I feel the heart of this city pounding underneath my feet, yeah if the world keeps spinning round and round this is were it all goes down,down,down, THAT'S WHY I LOVE THIS TOWN!.
