As much as I hate to see the aussies loose this outcome is probebly good for the game... the kiwi's have such a strong Rugby Union set up over there and this will really help push league's profile a lot higher.
Other good things to note on the night was how good Locky looked, gives us Bronc's fans something to look forward to next year, plus for you st george fans even more to look forward to with Wayne Bennant heading your way you must be starting to get optimistic even with a team fairly void of "big names" you'd like to think he can have a similar effect at the saints as he has for NZ.
