I really hope they can come to an agreement. I realise its a knockout game for Leeds in the Challenge Cup, but as far as im concerned if a player wants to represent his country it should be the top priority for all clubs, and they should release any player with a smile on their face. There are also reports suggesting Wigan do not want to release half back Thomas Lueluai. Brent Webb and Lueluai are two big players for the Kiwis, especially considering Benji Marshall has ruled himself out.

well the way i see it there its 1 play out of each team wigan and leeds well it takes 13 players 2 field a league team and 1 missing wouldnt hurt that much Im sure ,and the kiwis were shat on last year for there tour 2 england now we wana pick our best team we can and they wont give us our players now the think that make me real angry is leeds coach bluey X kiwi coach no helpin us out thanks bluey top kiwi u are

Mclennan is a good coach too, its a shame he left the kiwis.

 

International RL law says that all clubs must allow their players to represent their country, so im sure it will work out for the Kiwis in the end.

Leeds is a class team, with a great academy set up, they should have no problems covering 7 players out!

well webb and leuleui have been named in a 19 man squad. If they don't play it's bullsh*t, especially leuleui, wigan have drawn a NL1 club FFS!

Particularly if whitehaven play like they did aginst Lezignan then Wigan will have no probs.

 Widnes - Hull looks like an interesting match up though.

dru dont talk daft mate the might black n whites will ease into the next round. im really hoping anyway..... haha

Interesting watching an interview with kearney this morning, he said "I expect them (Webb and Leuleui) to be arriving in sydney on monday, unless I'm told otherwise they're playing". So he sounds adamant they'll play.

I'm confident the players will be realeased but the clubs are un happy about it.

who cares what the clubs think! this is starting to really piss me off. soon it will be players not allowed to play the world cup cos there club doctors say theyve got an ingrowing toenail! when will clubs realise that the best way to promote our game is through strong international competition! ahhhhh! the only place we lack behind union, and where they get all there financial clout, is there international scene. im not saying go as extreme as union (its a joke that english players never play in the guiness prem, no wonder theyre sh*t), but a strong international profile will lift popularity, juniors, media etc. Clubs need to start thinking of the big picture. 

 

ps this isnt having a go at u kiwi fan.

the sad thing is that it has happened in the past players have been held back because of Doctors orders from clubs and i hope it doesnt happen at the world cup we want all our teams 2 be at full strength and show the world how exciting a well over due league world cup can be

It wont happen mate. It wont even happen for the centenary test. Theyll get them all back.

Well it's official, Leuluai and Webb will be returning for the match as planned. the RLIF saw no reason to bend the rules for these players. Good news for the Kiwi's

good news just hope its not just a one off time they will inforce it
