World Club Challenge planning begins after Roosters' NRL Grand Final win

The NRL Grand Final concluded with the Sydney Roosters defeating the Newcastle Knights, sparking discussions about the World Club Challenge. With the Roosters set to participate, negotiations will soon commence between the NRL, Super League, and Wakefield Trinity for a match likely in England next February. The scheduling is complicated by the upcoming Rugby League World Cup, which impacts player availability. The Roosters may send multiple players to the World Cup, delaying their pre-season training until the New Year. Coach Trent Robinson sees the trip as a valuable team bonding experience.
