Or even Scotland!

Totalrl saying that they are getting reports that final WILL be at Anfield and that Olympic and Huddersfield are getting games as well. Now we have also heard rumours of Coventry so that is 4 venues. I would suggest that another is Wigan because with huds there is one in Yorkshire and they wouldn't want one close to Liverpool if final is there so Wigan would be better with it being closer to Manchester and also a proven international venue. That just leaves the Scotland ground to speculate on and I think a few of us have been saying partick thistle. www.totalrl.com/reports-suggest- ... ons-final/

Apart from the fact that the rlif have already said that there is gonna be at least 1 game in Scotland and there is a precedent in the four nations that a game is always played in the fourth nation when it is in the northern hemisphere, Paris and Toulouse in 2009 and Wrexham in 2011. I imagine the only reason they don't play in the fourth nation in southern hemisphere is the logistics of taking a game to Papua new guinea or Samoa or where ever.

They said that some time ago, since when many reports & rumours have said Workington. Widely reported this was because they were looking at Scotstoun Glasgow, but they've since turned to a plastic pitch. All articles today including BBC & Sky even, saying they've disbanded plans to play in Scotland. You go for it though bud, book your train to Glasgow with my blessing

Fair enough mate ive read a few articles and it does seem that Scotland has been dropped. Typical rugby league organisation of course seen as one of their biggest policies is to expand the game but they don't want to take a major international to a developing country instead playing it in the usual dystopia in Cumbria that will draw about 6,000 people in... Craven park is a daft place to take a game as well, sure you'll fill it but that means there will be 11,000 people there whereas if it went to Wigan or st Helens then they would be full with almost double that. Full stadiums equal a decent spectacle which is what's needed to expand the profile of international league but it is the same old half-d ideas from our games big cheeses.
