Quote: Wheatsheaf Arms "Id go further than this and make the selling of tickets for central events and internationals part of the licence package. Each pro club is responsible for selling match tickets and gets a 'kickback' from sales. All clubs should be more involved as they have the most direct access to regular paying rugby followers'"


Good shout.
I think all amateur clubs should be contacted too, get the kids and people playing the game actually at Wembley. I think yawnion do this somehow, maybe someone who knows more can enlighten me a bit more.

It's a decent idea from the RFL, I'm just not sure that many people would travel down to London for it. I personally won't go and watch at Wembley, I'll go to the other games that are closer though...

Now start trying to replace those three and see what sort of competitive team Wales can come up with. At least if we were looking at GB for overseas tours two of those three may have been available.

We would be better with a French barbarians ie 13 french players plus 4 invitation players to make them competitive. Still keeps the core of the french international team but makes them competitive

Maybe.

Would depend on the date, but it something I would be happy to attend if my weekend was free of other pre-booked activities.

It would need to be Eng v Aussie to attract the best crowd I would imagine.

As I said in the other thread. Maybe this is something the RFL could look at.

"I went to the wendyball last week Wales v England and it was nice to see that it was packed out with families for what is a high risk game.

They did it with this www.faw.org.uk/news/2088 and reducing prices. I paid £15 to watch this."

Carvells played for Wales before, I refuse to believe that Rhys Evans is English! He should be the icon of Welsh RL. Kieth Mason replaced by Jordan James/Aled James. Not as good, but still replaceable.

So basically you want to introduce Franchising into International RL

The Welsh Qualified by beating the French , you now want to re instate the French d040.gif

No i want International RL to have some credibility, forward planning and credibility. I accept Wales and they have to play this year but the idea that any of the home countries can compete with the big 3 at the minute is laughable and discredits RL.

Back to GB for tours thus providing an incentive to home nations players to stay with the home nations ( i doubt Wales would have qualified if mc ilorum, bridge, prescott and Harrison had not gone English), , until then there is no reason why France could not play an invitational side it has a lot history and international credibility( RU does it all the time), Home nations when at home, build up French RL so that it can survive on its own a second French SL team ( when ready) consider a unified celtic nations team for the 4 nations at home ( again providing an incentive to players and improving the international set up.
The celts will not be able to be genuinely partake in high level international( competitively) RL without at least two proffessional RL teams and a good amateur league to back it up.

International RL has to be the PRIORITY for RL in this country for it to develop.

That will take time and planning and if some artificial means have to be used to maintain it for a while then so be it.

Emmitt is playing out of his skin at the moment. He is a better 2nd row than Bracek or James and has been playing 60+ mins a game.

It doesn't look a bad squad. I would like to see them play PNG in a warm up game.

Looks like it could be Eng V Aus, NZ V Wales d040.gif
Eng V Wales and Aus V NZ would be a far better option.

Agree, I saw Emmitt at Leigh last year and for me he was a better dual reg signing than Blythe, Mitchell and McCarthy.

He played at prop for us though and I havn't seen him in the back row for Cas. The only game i've seen of Cas' this year was the opening game when he was in the front row.

Good looking pack for Wales that.

I hope this Poll is correct.

Like someone said we can get around 100k for all the games in one weekend, if 74% of those attend then we will obviously get a great crowd.

A bit of creativity by the RL marketing team could sell it out. Yet I doubt they would.
