Careful now, there are some who don't think it's a joke.

I like the WCC as long as it's one game, don't see the point in 3 games, who cares about second vs second in a one off game to prove who the best second team are ?? Wouldn't mind a 4 team round robin but we don't have room in the calendar. No wonder a high percentage of the nrl can't be bothered I don't blame them, it's a long way to travel for a pointless game to keep warrington/Leeds/Wigan happy. Nothing was wrong with champions vs champions for a trophy.

Best suggestion i've seen in a long while has been doing the rounds.

Having an NRL & Super League Grand Final rematch at Wembley early in the season. So this year it'd be Wigan - Warrington following by Cronulla - Melbourne. Two competitive meaningful fixtures, and chance to market tickets to both the heartlands and the Aussies in London.

It's surely a better sell for the NRL teams than the current options?

I dont see the point in that? It would be better if it was Wigan v Cronulla and Wire v Melbourne in a double header at Wembley...but even then, it wouldnt be anywhere near a large crowd

What's wrong with the old format of the WCC? There is no need for any more gimmicks.

Considering Saracens can get big crowds for a RU league game at Wembley I not so sure about that.

Yes if the NRL don't bother with any marketing but if the NRL decide to really make a go of this then I don't see why we couldn't get a bumper cry at Wembley or the Olympic stadium.

People will pay for live sport if they feel its a big event.
