What is the revenue for the travelling side these days? Is it a split gate (regardless of the result) and prize money - for the winner?


Really good questions - would love to know myself. Not sure it's public.

Isn't it the case that when NRL sides came over here, SL teams had to pay for their flights?

And I'll say right now, that if Saints were able to beat a full-strength Penrith side, I for one would be delighted. But I figure they figure they can play mostly kids, and still win.

They are changing the rules for Saturday. Game to be played in 20 min quarters and extra water breaks due to the forecast heat. Increasing the interchanges from 8-10 and allowing an 18th man.

Saw the temperatures are due to be around 40 degrees. Its a hell of a challenge - hope they go close.

I'm hoping we are competitive. Yes they will be undercooked but if they are at full strength (which apparently they will be bar Liam Martin) then that plus they are at home and the heat means we will struggle.

We made a lot of errors on Saturday against St George and whilst that was our first proper hit out too, you have to ace any opportunities you get in a game like the WCC and simply put we must complete at a higher rate.

I think they'll get us on the edges, Hurrell showed again on Saturday that he can be a liability in defence by overshooting the line and the likes of Cleary will love that, kicking in behind him etc.

Re: WCC : Mon Feb 13, 2023 9:26 am  
Fancy Saints to keep it close. Kikau, Koroisau and Martin all massive players for the Panthers all not there for Saturday.

Whereas Saints are improved from the end of last year with Walmsley and Dodd (I would have loved to see Percival, Dodd/Lomax, Walmsley and Roby for England in the World Cup).


The battle in the front row will be great, JFH might be the best prop going at the minute and Moses Leota was unreal in the playoffs last year.

Fancy panthers by about 12 but depending on their motivation levels Saints could pull off something special.

Re: WCC : Mon Feb 13, 2023 9:28 am  
Saints have the advantage in terms of personnel from last year to this, with them being stronger than the 2022 GF, whereas Penrith have lost a couple of massive players in Kikau and Koroisau and have Martin missing as well. That helps and brings the game closer but the conditions sound pretty brutal.

Looking at the warm up game on Saturday, we’ll need to find out if Saints played at that lightning pace for 15-20 and purposefully eased up or if that was just a natural dip brought about by not having to keep that intensity up when playing in Superleague. I suspect it may have just been a bit of an easing up, as though to say ‘we’ve laid a marker’ and they did not want to blow themselves out. It was extremely impressive that first 20 but the rest was a bit messy and if it wasn’t just a cue on the rack thing, the game could get away from them this week. That was possibly the worst team in the NRL they were playing and one nowhere near full strength, so it was very tough to make real judgments throughout.

Hand on heart, I think they’ll go well on Saturday. I can see it being pretty close for around an hour and Penrith to probably get home by about 10-12 points.

I agree that we were messy after that opening spell. However what infuriated me was the constant pointing out that St George weren't at full strength, however no reference to the fact that for the second half we had no Lomax, Dodd, Welsby, Percival, Roby, Hopoate, Batchelor and Makinson.

At one point Ben Davies made a break for Lussicks try that was disallowed for a forward pass and Corey Parker said it was great play by Welsby. He wasn't even on the field.

The second half was very sratchy with all the changes.

On a side note, Ritson showed his speed in open field with his try. He will definitely give us strike if he gets a few games, the lad can finish.

My favourite moment of the game by Corey Parker was him saying what a great battle it would be next week between the 1,6 and 7’s, listing players like Edwards, Cleary, Luai and…..DEAD AIR…..and Vossy has to chip in and throw him a lifeline by saying Welsby :lol:

There was a difference in strength of the teams from the off tbh. St George were probably at 50-60% with guys like Sloan, Hunt, Bird, Su’A, De Belin, Molo, Woods and Fuimaono not playing. I think Saints would’ve battered their full strength team playing at that pace in the first 20 minutes but it was a tough game to get a handle on. When the changes started to come through in the second half, Saints brought on top 20-25 players but St George were bringing lads on who won’t get anywhere near an NRL game this season, even if they pick up a load of injuries.

Saints can take huge comfort from that first 20 mins though and if they can replicate that over the 80 minutes, they’ll give it a real crack.
