Well that sucks
If they schedule it right, it might be a decent weekend still.
Where did PNG fit in with the four nations?

Oh well thats something.
Dunno about needing a rest Milky, if we're on a 4 game winning roll I dont want interruptions, but it does bring all our injured players one week closer to a return I suppose
Its just like daylight savings, instead of a magical extra hour where you can sleep more, we get a magical extra week for recovery

Little do they know, the joke is on them… We don't have to win a discussion to know which game is superior...

Rep weekend is a joke….
NZ haven't won an ANZAC test since 1998 and I can't see them doing so unless 4-5 Australian players were to fall ill on match day....It's a no contest......
City-Country, well its supposed to be a platform to trial players for SOO but we've since seen that that's a myth......some of the players picked by both sides are barely FG standard let alone Origin prospects (Cuthbertson, Sam Williams, Reddy and Symonds are some names from last year's game alone that would fit in this category)......The interest in these games is non-existent too epitomised by the 4-5k they got in Coffs last year despite some of the other big names on show.....I'm sure selectors already have a good idea of who'll be playing game 1 based on what's happened so far this year....Not to mention there's still another 4 weeks of club footy where selectors can fine-tune the team if necessary...I just don't see the need or point of city/country......
If the NRL really want to engage rural areas, propelling one game out there to different areas every year with two composite sides playing is not the way to go.....They should force NRL teams to play a certain number of home games across a variety of regional areas each year and this way country fans can connect with the teams they support week to week and have a real passion for.....
It seems like over the last few weeks that the club footy was really gaining some traction with some brilliant games in particular over Easter.....And now we're going to stop to play a game that's a foregone conclusion and another that really has no relevance in the scheme of things?....
The Samoa-Fiji fixture sounds worthwhile.....But could they not find another date to play this game?
