I just watched the St Helens v Salford Round 1 game on Fox. St Helens won 48-8. They were very good and totally outclassed Salford. They are definitely not going to be a pushover.
Chooks will have to be at their best.
Check out the replay at 3pm on 502 today and you’ll see what I mean.

People kept telling me that this St. Helens side can give the nrl a run for its money. Hopefully that means a closer game where we don’t win in the first 15 minutes

I love the WCC. I want us to win and I expect us to win but in reality, it’s nothung more than a strong trial match.

It would be nice to keep our unbeaten record in tact however so there is good motivation to be at our best.

I agree but the Roosters will still win by 13 plus.

Didn’t help the pommy side last time we played them or the time before that. We don’t lose WCC matches.

Why is it in England again didn’t we travel there last year?

I watched that game aswell. Salford made them look good.
st helens have a new coach(not Holbrook) and no man of steel hastings.

Yeah we won with Hastings and Nikorima in the halves. Hastings is now their equivalent of a Dally M half.

IMO it makes sense to have it in England coz they will get the bigger crowds and it means more to their fanatics to be seeing our stars (e.g. Cords, Teddy and Keary live).

TBH my only concern is the new training salary cap. Robbo has done a good job organising sessions in France and England while we've been over there (then awesome sessions in the USA and stuff) that all make the experience a positive. I'm concerned that the new training salary cap is a subtle dig at our ability to do such things in order to minimise the impact of the 24 hour flights and WCC games during the pre-season.

Puts some context into people thinking Latrell's greedy or has attitude issues when he's trying to negotiate a little bit more money.

Compared to other sports, our players really don't get paid all that much.

Indeed.
Can only pay the players out of profit though.
Our small population, and many sports competing for the available audience and advertising etc revenue, players in our sports can't sign contracts for $40 million a season like the star of the Superbowl could do.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Mahomes is expected to receive a contract extension that will "shatter" the quarterback market and easily surpass Russell Wilson's record salary. Specifically, Mahomes could land an extension worth $40 million per season.

The coach is the Tongan coach, Kristian Woolf. He has got them firing as world beaters, so has some ability.
