| I didn't think that's what Hetherington was suggesting. I thought he was saying that if the 4 Nations was held in the UK then the WCC should be held in Australia and vice versa.
I don't see why we can't have the 4 nations each year. It's a max of 4 games. Personally I think there should be an end of season international schedule of:
Year 1 - 4 Nations
Year 2 - Test Series GB v Aus or NZ alternating
Year 3 - 4 Nations
Year 4 - World Cup
Plus an annual mid-season 5 Nations of England, France, Wales, Scotland & Ireland.
Yes it's more fixtures but it's only 4 additional games for the top players, they might have to do like in Union and miss some domestic league games while the mid-season comp is on. Do away with the Exiles and that's saved 2 games.

| Quote: RLBandit "We need this. My only concern is that we go into it half baked, in a kind of 'start small and see if we can improve it' way, which risks a dissappointing start and then two opposing camps from day one
That's my issue with this.
Is it me, or do we just not have ANYONE within the RFL who understands what needs to be done to create an event?! I mean, don't get me wrong, I've seen some good signage, promotional material, etc. at games (Magic Weekend, Challenge Cup, Grand Final, etc) but they don't seem to understand what to do to make an event (other than a final) interesting.
Internationals, the Challenge Cup semi finals and the World Club Challenge should be A LOT bigger than they are, but because they are so short-sighted in their approach to the planning, they are just above average events at best. Not must see. It's frustrating because I see what they're doing with the RLWC and think that's near the level of build up they should have for every international series, and every WCC.

Perhaps. Or perhaps not. Or maybe somewhere between the two. Who knows .. so many questions. Please don't let it keep you awake at night, though. Concentrate on trying to troll better. There's a million times more chance of an expanded WCC than you ever posting anything a chimp couldn't.

You need to get some therapy for that stammer, too.

Chimps are more intelligent than Pavlov's Dog. Is that you salivating at GH's latest unsubstantiated [i"world series/expanded wcc gets go ahead"[/i headline?

As well as running Leeds Rhinos, Leeds Carnegie, The RFL and ,according to some Bradford fans, now Leeds-Bradford Airport, Hetherington is now also editor of the Express?
