It's wrong.

It should be a three test series. It's been completely devalued by including it as part of a different international competition.

Will the Baskerville Shield also be put on the line now for the EnZed game?

I don't like it - seems to devalue it. Kind of 'Ashes Lite'.

Crap idea. It's the gold standard competition for GB/England players and has been for 100 years. It's always been a 3 match series.

Plans to change it to be a one game trophy devalue the whole thing.

Translation: We havent sold as many tickets for the JJB...DW stadium as we liked

Result: Sales plummet even further as fans refuse to jump on the bandwagon of the latest crap idea.

Oh I dont know

England wouldnt dare take on the Aussies in a 3 match series.

they know they might get the odd fluke win so thats why they've asked for this.

Only didn't the Aussies have this idea?

It's funny that in a time when average crowds for league games would be around 5k, we could fill virtually any venue 3x over when the Aussies toured - not to mention the big crowds at the club games.
This is a truly feeble decision.

International RL makes money



And it would be devalued further if, say, England were able to win the group game at Wigan and went on to take a 40 point hiding at Elland Road in the final.

Daft, plain daft.

Even so, plenty of shouts from Englands corner too
