What we learnt is that rugby league has supporters who do its opponents bidding.

Promote it is a Welsh national side I think now a fair few more Welsh born players are coming through the system and are now in the side. More people will support the team if they are supporting the players who was born in the same country as their own. However good Briers and Cunningham were the Welsh cant relate to them. It'll be the same if Mcbanana keeps on selecting these NRL players who were born in Oz how many people who currently watch the English side will stop if 10 of the 17 were born in Oz?

What people forget and its true the aussies have in the past done the same to loads of teams scored loads of points against them, what would they do if new Zealand was not on their doorstep to give them competition

i thought the following

Wales are terrible
Watkins and Charnley are a promising pairing for the future
Myler shouldn't be anywhere near the number 7 shirt
Hardaker and Hall are v. good under the high ball
Hock is our best attacking forward runner
Sinfield played like he does for Leeds instead of how England tell him to play
The rfl are very illogical

More should be known after the France game but id expect a low attendance as the game is basically meaningless result wise, a good chance perhaps for the fringe players to get a game

Sales, marketing and promotion aren't my occupation.

However, observation would tell me that if a friendly against Wales 4 years ago can attract nearly 11,000 in Doncaster and a mid season test against France can attract 12,600, then there is definitely a better way to promote and organise these games than they have done. Everyone expected a heavy win. Both games weren't part of any major competitions.

ANYTHING can be promoted. If the people at the top are looking for reasons to not promote events, then they need new jobs.

Who's going to win the SPL for the next 3 years?

Yep, should have had France v Wales as the last game before the final.
