We can't ever get to that stage though as the international federation have no power at all.
I can't understand why the NRL is so insular. Do they not want the sport to grow! |

Love the NRL but French Connection UK them guys and there views on international footy.'"
Agreed. We need to put as much pressure on them as possible to release players for this game, but if they don’t change their arrogant insular minds, the game needs to be called off.
It could be replaced with England v France. This would be more competitive than normal without England’s NRL stars. Catalans are struggling but Toulouse are riding high in the Championship. |

The RLPA has refused to endorse the Denver test. Clint Newton took to twitter earlier to try and defend their position, but it’s quite clear who his real paymasters are.

You only have to look at the cricket headlines to see the Aussies mindset when it comes to sport. |

Which Super League club do you think would be successful, without their “anzacs”?

Yes its not exactly exciting is it. It will have about as much atmosphere as a morgue. Hopefully there is a late push and they can get somewhere around 20k, but even if they do it will feel empty in there. Mile High is a massive venue, don't know why they picked it. |

It looks like they've sold a couple of hundred in the last 30 days....this isn't going to end well |

I am in awe of the agreement to allow Moore Sports to manage the RLWC rather than getting them to manage anything other than a baseball match a decade ago.......I got 7,000 fans to a netball match last year......a match between 2 NZ sides....maybe I should have applied to run the RLWC????

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.
