Some interesting comments here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2009/fe ... n-referees No love lost between a Kiwi and the Ockers it would seem. Mayer was happy to take the silver when it was offered. All about upping the ante and trying to raise the profile of the WCC in my view. I really hope we beat Manley & then rub salt in the wounds by beating the Aussies at the cricket.

Agree with the first, completely indifferent regarding the second.

Eddie has also hit back by saying that Widnes are the most famous club outside of SL. Just shows how memorable the Australian clubs are in the NRL

I like this paragraph best:

It also emerged that Daniel Anderson, the former St Helens coach who returned home to Australia last autumn and is working at Parramatta, has been feeding Manly information on how to beat the Rhinos at Elland Road on Sunday week – providing further evidence of how seriously the Sea Eagles are taking their trip to England and of the bitter rivalry that developed between Leeds and Anderson's Saints over the last couple of years.


Anderson can't have given them that much info at all then

read that in the paper today and had to smile myself
