....that International RL needs more profile and support for the game to become more succesful, so what are peoples excuses for not going to the 4 Nations?

I'm personally going to Wembley, The Final and Leigh. Will see nearer the time if I can get a ticket to the KC and HJ.

No excuse , I don't want to

Medal is in the post.

Very good.

'International' RL is a joke, so thats my excuse for not going.

It's just NZ v AUS now and for the foreseeable future.

Couldn't give a stuff about England, plus hate half the team so can't suddenly support them for a match

Is international RL a joke because no sod goes to the matches?

Im going. Happy to do so. If others dont want to go who cares.

There are enough people in the county who will want to go we find them and tell them and we improve.

If others dont want to, sod them, they can sit at home sucking on their humbugs reminiscing about standing on a terrace sipping bovril and who its not like it was in their day.

You mean how not who , and as I said , no excuses

I agree the standard of modern Bovril is appalling.

I don’t understand this ‘International Rugby League is a joke’ line

So what if the two favourites for 4 Nations and the World cup are New Zealand and Australia – well that’s a 100% improvement on the last three decades when it was just Australia by how many. New Zealand have injected real life into the international scene with their performances (particularly in finals) over the past 3 or 4 years

And so what if the Kiwi’s and Kangaroos are the best teams – the matches they contest are among the finest and most competitive sport on the planet and something the whole sport should be proud of

As for England. I have supported GB and England for the past 25 years and I am still waiting for my first taste of victory – but that will make it all the sweeter when it arrives. I have been disappointed so many times but I will not stop shouting for the team

I am optimistic that we have some real talent coming through the ranks – Tomkins and Lomax are two of the best young players I have seen since I have started watching the game. Add Brough, Robinson, Roby and Widdop and the key attacking positions have some real match winning talent... more than I can remember for a long time

As a Welshman I struggle to get behing the "England" banner.
I went to Australia to support GB, but struggle to go to Hull (or wherever in England) to watch England as it doesnt excite me.
Plus I live in Ireland and the RFL announce the fixtures far too late to get decent accommodation, flights etc.

As a Welshman, why not support Wales?

I'm going to Leigh to support Wales :') Well, no-one else is...

Gotta love self-defeating parochial balloon heads.

I look forward to a future post from you moaning about how league can't compete with union's cash without a trace of irony.

Yoooorkshire. Yooooorkshire. Yoooorkshire.

Im going to Leigh and possibly HJ. Cant really afford to go to Wembley.

Id feel so much more confident about these 4nations if we had a decent coach in charge though.
