I don't see why we don't put on a game between USA v Canada beforehand?

let's just see how many pull out with 'injuries'. My guess is that it will be plenty, particularly from the NRL based players.
There will 100% be pressure on some players to pull the injury card and have a weeks rest instead of flying around the world for what will be deemed a meaningless Test match <snip>but lots of withdrawals will be hammer blow to the credibility of the international game.'"
In a nutshell, this, and if it does happen and Moore sports don't get the traction they want, I see the RLWC 2025 being reallocated. |

the NRL are now looking at putting a game on in the US at the start of the 2019 season. No firm news as yet but looks like being held on the west coast as it suits their flights, schedules etc

You can fly Sydney to LA non-stop for about NZ$1,300 (£700), so I can see the benefit of a Sydney Derby being organised with official tour packages as well. That said, I'd be happy to fly to LA to see the NZ Warriors...... |

Hull KR the pride of East Hull.: |
|

There's an intresting interview with Jason Moore in this week's League weekly. I would just like to pick up on a couple of points he made (i am paraphrasing).
One of the reasons that Denver was chosen was because of the times zones (which I admit I hadn't considered). If they kick off at 2pm on Saturday, that's 8 am Sunday morning in New Zealand, 9pm Saturday night in the UK. Plus various timezones favourably in the US (lunch and Tea). Which makes perfect sense when you think about it.
There will be a game beforehand, though not sure who they're hoping it will have a local flavour.
40,000 is what's going to be considered as a par crowd. Less will be a disappointment, more a success.
It's the first of 3 games in consecutive years between England and New Zealand. Though no mention if they're all going to be played in Denver.
But it his comments on a couple of other things that caught my attention.
When asked about Lenaghan's recent comments. He said that what's really needed is 4 or 5 countries where RL is strong. Then you can look at things like a world league. Which kind of echoes my views.
And that his aim is to by 2025 have an 8 to 10 team elite competition in the US/Canada . With like football another league just below it. And to hopefully increase it in the future.
Which becomes intresting should it take off with regards SL's desperation to take over there, and would also raise questions about the likes of Toronto and other franchise's. If it's successful would they still want to be part of the English competition.

I wish them all the best........2017 RLWC Final got 33 people more than 40k in a stadium that averaged 31k for club games......I genuinely hope he can do this but I fear for the game as an international entity if he fails......and he's had to bribe the NRL with an opener in 2019 to get release of players for this.........and his company website and accounts are still very "sketchy"........ |

HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.
