    Default Difference - Champions or Also-Rans

    Whilst we have a full house sell-out for our WCC game, others have to resort to "other" promotions to get people through the door.....

    "The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It is nothing of the kind. The game is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom." Danny Blanchflower.
    Might have been written by a footballer about football - but never a truer word............

    Have they changed the format?
    This World Club Series Rugby fixture is part of a three-game series featuring four other teams, with the aggregate winner walking away with the inaugural World Club Series trophy. The series will climax at Langtree Park as St Helens play South Sydney.
    the aggregate winner? or is it just marketing to make the Wiagn game more important than it acutally is?

    No, it's always been a series. As well as the WCC trophy, the series trophy will be presented at LP, to either Super League or the NRL. But not Wigan.

    So if Saints are the only Super League winners we dont get the WCC trophy? Do we get the title of World Champions?

    We'll be crowned World Club Champions yeah & receive the trophy with the title of best club in the world for 12 months.

    If St George & Brisbane win there games the Aussies will win the overall series regardless of what we do in our game. The series means rag all

    My post was a tad ambiguous, I guess...

    "As well as the WCC trophy being presented to either Saints or Souths, the series trophy will be presented at LP to either Fat Nigel of SL or Fat Bruce of NRL."

    Sour faced old crones have been making us miserable for years now I'm fighting back BUTTER and FULL FAT MILK is good for you. Someone should toss in the theory drink makes you drive better and lack of exercise gives you the chance to name your pall bearers and make their legs buckle.
    Oh for the days when Props couldn't run they just bulked up on ale and battered the opposition.
