Next Feb...billed as a super league game but surely just a friendly ?

Hull and Wigan are being lined up to play NRL sides at the beginning of 2018 as part of the launch of the Aussie season.
With them being over there the prospect of them playing a regular SL game is being discussed although it's still some way off being agreed.

Wigan unlikely to be in world club challenge so they just make their own. Makes sense as they run the game

It's a SL match as far as I know. I wonder if Nige will be in attendance? The Sportsman shuddersfield. Kirkstall Yorkshire Dales Pale 6.5% Mmm!

Maybe we should have a whip round to pay for their expenses.

Feel sorry for genuine season ticket holders. Traipsing them down to Millwall was bad enough but Australia makes no sense at all. If it was Canada, I could see some development purpose but I think the Aussies already know about Rugby League.

Next up - Halifax v Sheffield at the Great Red Spot Stadium, Jupiter.

It's a disgrace and insulting to real league fans. When will this sh!te end? Victorian Cafe Bar, Halifax. Dark Star Sunburst 4.8% Mmm!

Will Big Nige get a free trip out there to watch it. He should do, as his yearly salary obviously won't cover it.
Probably needs to book three seats for himself. Two for his butt cheeks and another for his snack sack full of pies.
