I had an interesting conversation with League Freak the other day about club logos and mascots and it turned into an interesting discussion about who would win in a battle.
The basic rules that I gave in this battle Royale was initially who would the natural rivals be? From there I matched the teams up the best I could. To honest it gets kind of flimsy at times but I stand by the results.
Below is the results of our in-depth discussion which we went through the current NRL and Super League teams and finally the folded teams until we had a definitive World Club Champion.
Do you agree with the results?
