| Quote headhunter="headhunter"Yes. The RLIF does nothing other than badly organise the Four Nations and look after the interests of the Kangaroos.

The RLIF has no involvement or interest, all the international growth of the last 10 years or so is down purely to the RLEF.'"
.....which points to why RL struggles to be taken seriously as an International sport. It's bad enough that there are subtle differences in rules between domestic and International league and having 2 refs per game in one league and 1 in the other doesn't help either, but surely, from top to tail, the game needs that sorted out before there is any hope of true expansion and growth

| Quote gutterfax="gutterfax"Nice to see Phil Bentham getting to take charge of an International game......
As much as he and Ganson et al receive stick on here, the decision by RLIF (or ARL if I am honest) to not have a neutral ref last weekend was stupid

| Extends to 11 the number of international rugby league sides playing over the last couple of months.
Excellent stuff.
Hopefully Jamaica will perform well and we will see a quality tournament.

Sorry you are correct this time...13 teams in internationals minimum.
I forgot the Tonga v Samoa match, which should have been treated as a stand alone game after the RLWC 2008. Issy bitched and moaned for weeks about it.

Yep, they are, both play for Jacksonville I think, supposed to be pretty handy. I think it's Apple who's been named as captain, he's also a registered nurse in his day job !!
