Probably because that's what they announced before the 2000 comp (remember it well), before it went on to lose so much cash that it nearly bankrupted the RFL and certainly killed international footy for 4 years

Superb news, making a profit was the number one importance for the RFL. We need to invest in to the developing nations. I will be surprised if it doesn't exceed the £2 million profit the tournament in OZ made.

For the first time ever the arlc is funding tomorrows test between Samoa and tonga. They have put in $200k to put it on. Good signs for the development of southern hemisphere int teams.

It says on Wiki that tournament made a profit? Lol

Good news.

Fantastic news , almost too good to be true

What ? , what've I said now ?

That should be on your gravestone mate!

Any updates on ticket sales?

had a quick look on the ticket website, and the same areas of the grounds are open for the big games (such as the opener, England games and the Semi-final and Final) as they were back in January? hope this doesn't mean sales have slowed down. I'd have thought we'd be close to filling out the KC and Huddersfield by now but the top tiers of both are still closed.

But the games supposed to be heading towards dark times right?
