[QUOTE="TRF_melon, post: 530439, member: 12250"] [SIZE=1]Apologies for the new thread ambokobokobokobokobokoboko....thought it would be good to have the team lists rather than just asking what channel the game is on. [CENTER][IMG]http://westcoastpirates.com.au/files/2012/10/Aus-NZ-WCP2.jpg[/IMG] [/CENTER] [SIZE=2]This is going to be a bumper game!

In terms on the coaches, both Kearney (NZ) and Sheens (Aus)[/SIZE][/SIZE] have been given the flick from their NRL head coach position with Kearney being moved along and Sheens taking a more "senior" role with less hands on required.
