I've checked and they're not showing the Souths vs. Leeds match on Sky over here. They will be showing the WCC match in Leeds though.

Injuries mar Souths' dream
By Josh Massoud
January 25, 2008 12:00am

FIRST it was jet lag. Then a freakish Florida cold snap. Now, injuries and a personal drama have maintained the eventful edge to South Sydney's American odyssey.

As five Rabbitohs faced fitness battles to play on US soil this weekend, backrow star David Fa'alogo was last night rushing back to Australia for "personal reasons".

The Kiwi left camp suddenly on Wednesday afternoon and is expected home today. Club officials were tight-lipped about the reason.

"David had to go home for personal reasons," a club spokesman said. "He doesn't want anything more said than that."

Currently serving a seven-match suspension for striking, Fa'alogo would not have played in any case. Prop Scott Geddes is certain to miss out as well, having torn his hamstring at training.

Dean Widders and Ben Rogers (strained hamstring), Eddie Paea (groin) and Feluli Talanoa (finger) are also in doubt.

Since arriving in Florida, the Rabbitohs have not been spared from pre-season training and the short turnaround from their 24-hour journey might have contributed to their woes.

With Nathan Merritt still recovering from a major knee reconstruction, Rabbitohs coach Jason Taylor could have only three-quarters of his squad available.

"We've trained pretty hard over here and sustained a few injuries so far," Taylor said. "We've done a lot of work in areas we think we can improve on from last year. Sure, it's not the grand final - but we'll be taking it seriously."

In a boost to Souths' fortunes, Australian icons Greg Norman and Layne Beachley have agreed to attend the match with Rabbitohs co-owner Russell Crowe.

No sign of it on NZ tv, but if it is on Nine then it should be possible to download it from somewhere. Great news!
 
Well what else would you expect? You think South Sydney would have been this successful if they still had Mr. Pringles? His an A-list celebrity. You think he wouldn't use that to his advantage?

But I think it's good for the game. Any exposure outside the main areas can't be too bad.
 
I read an article today that said that the supply of souths and leeds jerseys didnt meet demand in the USA. sounds like some profit might be made
