| given that it appears that the kiwis have out of hosting a series against england next year what does everyone think should happen instead?
heres my idea, which i've just fired off to richard lewis..
the RLEF should step forward and organise a 8 team FEDERATION CUP to be used as a RLWC warm up/test event
the 8 teams, in 2 groups of 4 would be
England - seeded into 1 group
Exiles - seeded into the other group
france
ireland
scotland
wales
italy
usa
the venues...places like warrington,doncaster,leigh,salford and the french playing at home too to build on their recent boost in attendances......with the final played at st helens 'langtree park'
all the making of a nice little comp..serving many purposes the most important 2 being it'll introduce many fans to some of the lesser nations prior to the world cup and it'll keep all the northern hemisphere teams ticking over before the world cup...

| Quote: Bull Mania "I don't see th epoint in playing teams like Wales & France. Either play the big boys or give the players a rest. How is smashing France & Wales going to help us? The season is starting ridiculously eearly this year. Our internationals no longer get an off season.
To me it should be GB touring NZ & playing OZ fo the ashes. This would help Wales ofr the WC. Thumping Wales & Francw won't help us and it's just more games into an already long season. Give them an off season.'"
Playing teams 'like Wales and France' is what makes international rugby league. With that attitude the FA should refuse to play anyone other than Brazil and Spain while the RFU should organise All Blacks only matches. Who out of the current Wales team would get into a GB side? I can't think of a single player so how would that help the Welsh national team? The Aussies have already said they won't be playing out of season internationals in 2012 so if it's possible I'd like to see us go down under and tour New Zealand and the Pacific islands.

Not saying we shouldn't play Wales, france etc. Just not this time around. The main rpoblem i've got is how early we're starting this seaosn. 3rd of February is stupid. Then adding on a 6 week tour at the end of the season, out internationals will be going straight into pre-season for that. How is that helping us. We'll be burnt out. the intenational calendar should look like this;
2013 - World Cup
2014 - Southern Hemisphere 4N
2015 - Northern Hemisphere 4n
2016 - GB tour
Currntly only Elliot Kear would get in an England squad. but its about building. Dudon, flower, White all have the potential to get in a GB squad.

| If we're going down that road then I'd say that big problems are the number of clubs in Super League, the playoffs and the Magic weekend. Drop the top division to 10 sides playing each other home and away and limit the playoffs to the top 6. If the top eight SL sides from the previous year came into the Challenge Cup when there are eight sides left in the competition our top players would be playing a domestic maximum of 22 games a season plus a two or three games in the playoffs.

6731_1299024498.jpg [quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg |

I agree with you on that but we've got ALOT of games next year which is why i'm saying give the player a rest instead of plaing Wales or France etc.
personally i'd scrap MM, reduce the play-offs to 6, and have SL teams entering the CC later on.
