wolfie Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Nearly 20 years old and no closer to Aussie standards than we were when it started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Both Warrington and Wigan were unlucky not to get results against their Aussie counterparts - Saints let Super League down badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Unfortunately we come second best in most sports that we once taught the world to play. Most of our would be sporting superstars are very good competing at x box level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila_P Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I think we are a lot closer, Wolfie. Warrington could easily have reversed that score if the match had been played by Superleague rules. St George defended well by fair means and foul. It's also worth remembering that for some of our younger players that would have been the biggest game of their lives. Wigan went into 'golden point' territory. You can't get closer than that. It didn't all come together on the night for Saints. I would actually have liked to see Wigan play the Bunnies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latchford Locks Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Two out of three games were close fought matches that could have gone either way. Plus very encouraging attendances and I can always live with Saints getting battered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I think we are a lot closer, Wolfie. Good but not good enough. Warrington boast the best club record against Australia's full squad never mind club sides. – winning eight and drawing one of 16 games, but the last victory came in October 1978 Since then we have Super League which was introduced in the hope that British rugby league could develop and make a serious challenge to Australian rugby. As far as I can see it has failed to do so. After 20 years and on home soil we should have won all three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 The result is the only thing that counts in this type of competition. The away teams won all three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
