Cas trip to Aussie......

Post by Lofthouse Tiger » 15 Nov 2017, 14:24

Just been reading about the whinos and their options for the fans to travel down under and watch their team play Melbourne. 2 options both reasonably priced. All set up rather quickly and on sale already.

Cant wait for Cas to put theirs out. Will be a chance of a lifetime trip. Might have to miss the Few game though to save up a bit.

I'd rather spend 200k plus clubs travel costs on a fullback or an NRL prop...

it's essentially a friendly is anyone that bothered, i watch the NRL religiously but think of the bigger picture. :hand:

I dont think it will be next year either Hudds. Lets hope I am wrong.

I doubt we have 200K to spend on anything never mind a FB or a new Prop. If we do I would have loved to have seen Murdoch-Massila signed for us. But you never know. :dance: :dance:

Rhinos must be in the fortunate position to self fund this trip. No help from the RL, which would have been the only way for us to go. How does the saying go, the rich get richer. Jealousy from me, would have given me time to win the lottery before February and gone .There I go dreaming again.

if leeds can't get a guarantee of money like aussies demand then the whole thing should be scrapped.for it to mean anything it has to be viewed equally by rfl and nrl.If we won grand final next year i'd rather let the whole concept go than be held to ransom.

Leeds haven't paid a penny for it. Melbourne are paying all the expenses. Gary Hetherington said it in one of the papers.

This is from Gary Carters article said by Hetherington- “There’s an arrangement in place, an agreement between the NRL and Super League. We provide for them when they come to England, they reciprocate when we go over there.

Didn't think this was still a possibility but, if it is, let's hope common sense prevails and we leave well alone.

Exactly. Total waste of time and cash imo.

Thing that severely Wees me off is that Melbourne had no intention of competing in such a game when they thought it would be against us, and neither the RL or any other association were bovvered.

I don't think Melbourne are too bothered about playing Leeds either to be honest. They have arranged another trial game (against NZ Warriors) on the same weekend as the WCC against Rhino's. Splitting the squad between the two games - a bit like we do when we have the annual away friendly against York.
