Penrith Panthers vs Wigan Warriors

[GlobalRugbyLeague]

Should be a cracker of a game.
Rugby League actually has 11 more first grade teams than AFL.
29 first grade clubs worldwide in 4 countries.

Something AFL will never ever achieve as a sport.
So this really is the best of the best.

The UK has some good sides, with Penrith losing to St Helens last year.

WIGAN WARROIRS 16 -12 PENRITH PANTHERS

[ohreally?]

WIGAN WARROIRS 16 -12 PENRITH PANTHERS

Sellout crowd 44,000

dunno where you got the crowd figure from

it was 25,000 , but was sold out 6 weeks ago so probably would have got 44K if the ground was bigger

[ohreally?]

Wigans 5th WCC win .. Penriths 4th attempt to win one failing... again ( 2nd loss to Wigan)
English teams now winning the WCC 19 times & Australian teams 18 times

amazing

Yes you are right. I made a mistake with the crowd. Deleted the incorrect figure.

Was a cracking game.

Phil Gould once said the superleague are like a reserve grade to the NRL. Yet two of their teams have beaten one of the NRLs best ever teams.

[ohreally?]

watched the entire replay

hmmm
some home town reffing certainly assisted Wigan , but the poms were gritty as hell .. they had no ball & no territory with the panthers enjoying enough possession to win 2 games , but they looked rusty & klunky , that being their one & only hitout since the GF last year.
so i guess the best team won
