http://www.kotaku.com.au/2009/08/rugby-league-comes-to-the-wii/The game has been offically announced by Sidhe Interactive, the makers of the past two rugby league titles, which will be released towards the end of the year. It has been around 3 years since rugby league 2 which I had played on the xbox and enjoyed for a while. The game so far has only been announced for the wii since the developers don't have a big enough budget to create Current-gen graphics.
Hopefully they can implement good use of the wii motion plus in which passing and fending could be done with the controllers.
