jolly holiday

Mr sick note Sean O'loughlin is not fit to play in the 1st match of the season but will travel to Australia were he may play Holidays for the boys

Nothing changes...always bad vibes

I'm still waiting for a reasonable and reasoned explanation as to why these games in Oz are taking place anyway. They can't be to spread the gospel - RL is huge on the East Coast. It robs genuine spectators of a home game against a very good team; as PeterP says, it's a trip for the lads. And when they get back and start fading in games, I wonder what the excuse will be? Jet-lag? I honestly cannot see the logic in this trip.

All you hear is “ commercial venture”

Mi lad who lives in NZ is nipping over to watchem, whilst I look after grandkids.....There are loads of fans in Aussie and NZ that want to see them in the flesh as they say....

They play Salford Friday evening then fly out Saturday...can just imagine the journey with all the after match niggly injuries...even worse if they lose at Salford...just seems silly to me...just to sell some shirts and get a sun tan....never mind as long as they all enjoy themselves....any self respecting coach would be going mad at this itinerary

I agree. Best to concentrate on Superleague
