Does any one really care about the World Comedy Cup Challenge?

It's a pre-season hit out, as long as there are good signs for Penrith it doesn't matter if they win or lose. It's a trip overseas to get connected as team mates.

Despite everything, penrif are 0/3 even though they are by far the most dominant team I've seen in 20 years. Is it the scheduling? Did they not put everything into it? I don't know, but the results show they struggle against English premiership sides. There's not even too many Aussie imports in this Wigan side.
Definitely the scheduling plays a massive part. I think super league clubs try harder as well cause their comp is always labelled as inferior (which it is). I don't think their top team wouldn't make our top 8 over the course of a season, but in a one off game, they know how to get up for it.

Until the season starts & you blame the cheating refs when your team doesn't win. lol
Did you just get back from The Valley, Kaz? It's time for beddy-byes now. Then after a good sleep you'll be more refreshed and hopefully come up with some better jokes.

Key take away from the Tigers vs Dragons.

Tigers are a mess defensively and poor in attack.

Flanagan Jnr and RFM both with a try assist each.

Dragons were rolling through their sets with ease. Flanagan Senior has them playing a very physical and tough brand of football.

… against a team who are a mess defensively and poor in attack. Probably not a good marker as to where they are.

Yeah, it's a few things:

- definitely taken more seriously by the Poms for the above reason.
- English Comp has already started. Australia still in pre season
- aussie side always coming off 24 hour flight.
- crowd
- refereeing will always be biased.

I guess its all overlooked so the contest will look more even.

Play that game at Penriff a couple of weeks into our season and they put 40 on Wigan.

North Korea would probably have better officiating than this shit.

A donkey supporter on a bulldogs forum enjoying Penrith being robbed.. you win the internet
Wish I did win the Internet.

There would be a few people not being able to access it.

Going off the trials us and Dragons have some positives to take away. Not so sure on the Tigers, they struggled against a 12 man reserve grade Warriors side and got completely outplayed by Dragons.

Thought Panthers were missing Luai badly.
That player that filled in for him is awful. Does he know how to pass a ball?
