Quote: Muggins "What would it take for you to be interested in the World Cup? Are you not at least excited by the final? Australia v England is a big match in most major sports. I love the cricket Ashes but because I've never seen England/GB RL win anything significant in my lifetime, I'd take a RL win ahead of a cricket win this time.'"





I honestly can't tell you how unexcited everyone is, nobody is talking about it, the season is over, it ended when the grand final ended, people generally can't be bothered rising up again for something that isn't going to be as good

It will get a decent TV audience, there isn't much else on this time of year, but i myself won't be watching it, i'm off to see a few bands
however i am excited about the NRL next year, this will intensify as the trials & charity shield etc ramp up in about March next year

Quote: luke ShipleyRed "Agree about the world club challenge. Also think that maybe some of the smaller countries (Scotland, Ireland, PNG etc), could tour USA & Canada. Or have a tournament with the above countries involved there.

England going there next year is a good start, maybe take a Australia/New Zealand test there.'"


We need to be careful that is doesn't become a bane to play, like a game that no one really wants due to costs and low crowds numbers and clubs start not being interested.

We should consider rewarding good work in areas with a WCC like Toronto for example, although not in February of course... lol

Quote: downo "Why? its not remotely interesting, the tournament is an embarrassment, its be better not to have it, it just drags down Rugby League, the show piece of the game in Australia should always be NRL & SOO, this poop show just drags us down, its got a lot to do with England being at fault i suppose, seeing as they haven't been competitive in over 40 years State of Origin is a one sided joke these days. England have given Australia two harder games in this WC than NSW have given QLD in 90% of all SOO games in the last dozen years.

So do one you WUM.

Hull KR the pride of East Hull.:

if we want it to take off need to showcase the sport. Apparently they're looking to turn there league professional, which would help.

If you are taking international's over, I think you have to include USA otherwise there won't be any intresting. If England v New Zealand, why not have USA v Canada before hand (both games together would be about an average NRL game).

Maybe for a one off time take magic weekend there?

If we are just relying on a couple of clubs there, the world cup would be a bust. And if we don't show teams like Tonga/PNG etc. No one will show up for there games.

I agree don't over do it, but slowly build it up so when the WC's there they're primed and ready.

The WCC should be 2 weeks after the GF. Then as you say could move it around. Toronto 1 year, France, Italy PNG etc. Use it as a showcase.
