without too much reflection you have missed Kevin Larroyer & Antony Maria as well as Greenshields who will be available if he can find an NRL side for next year (otherwise he will retire) - then there's Bemba from ASC with maybe a few others in the pipeline ie Kriouache at TO who looks a really good prospect
regarding 4th place - depends on how the draw works out - will they be 4th at the WC or will they be 4th ranked in the world are two different matters

| Quote: Bull Mania "It's a shame that it's pretty much the same French squad as the last WC. I just don't understand why more SL clubs don't sign french players. Cyril Stacul is going PIA, he would be an ideal signing for someone like Salford have last most of their back line. He's not going to be on much. France will never develop further than this until Sl clubs stop their obsession with Aussie rejects and start signing up some French players with potential.
I have to admit, the Fijian back line looks awesome.'"
Will happen more when the nrl gravy train dries up. |

Both those countries would be better taking a leaf out of Fiji's books rather than relying on eligible kiwis. I thought the mix of local Fijians and Fijian nrl players last WC worked very well for them.

You'd expect something like this:
Australia v Wales
England v PNG
New Zealand v Italy
France v Fiji
Australia v Fiji
England v New Zealand
Australia v England
The France v Fiji match will be massive! (if it turns out that way, group B is by far the most exciting looking, though England Fiji will be interesting too)

well, he's eligible but whether he gets picked is another matter - he's not exactly well respected within the french heirachy after his antics a few years back |

I imagine Fiji or one of the other Island nations will take 4th spot.

Fine, 'make it into the semis' would be more accurate, yes. But you knew what was meant. |

I shouldn't rise to the bait but you really should know better. There are 14 teams in next years version the original Rugby World Cup, 1954 was the first one,I think it was back when RU was still paying boot money.
International Rugby League is taking off at an astonishing rate. You do know there had to be a qualifying tournament to decide the line up for the finals, don't you.?
You do know the record final crowd was 73,000, don't you ?. You do know Wales RL have been to the semi finals more often than Wales RU, don't you.?
You do know that there has never been one of our finals where a try was not scored. Can RU say the same.
Now go away and play on the kick and clap boards. |

Is it?
England can't get a game v decent opposition.....Wales v France #5 v#6 in the RLIF rankings drew 1,464 fans.....The Squads for the forthcoming Australia v New Zealand test are being decimated with players opting out........the RLWC qualifiers you boast of were played in front of less than 500 people in North America, the pacific Nations cup is in danger of not going ahead, the european cup lost Italy and is now being played with two minor countries and the England B team......I am sure the sponsor was delighted BTW... 
International RL is going nowhere fast......Kiwis opting to play SoO rather than play for their national team, fijians asking for dispensation so they can play SoO.....it's a farce.
As for your comments about the other lots World Cup....I suspect whilst 2013 will be a great tournament, 2015 will put International RL's place on the pecking order fully into perspective for you........ |

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg |
