I'm against bringing back GB tours. It's too nostalgic IMO, we've moved on. Bar the odd player, it is just england anyway.

For the overall good of the international game they should be confined to the trash can of history.

I'm not so sure. What makes a world cup prestigious amongst many other things is that they don't come round often.

I get a sense that it's a case of ''this world cup has been hugely successful, let's move things along and have them more often so we can develop the international game faster''.

I know you can look at it and say, well it's only 1 year earlier, i just feel having them more often is going to reduce their value.

I'm fed up of walking out of the stadium at the end of an international game and not knowing when I will next get the chance to see the same, I don't know when England's next international is and who it will be against, I don't know when the next international tournament will be held in the UK, I don't know when I will get the chance to go to Wembley or old Trafford or Cardiff and see the best of the best on the field.
if all we have in the UK for the next two to three years is inferior super league games in inferior stadia then how can we expect those who the international game has attracted to come back again, will they even remember the world cup experience next time England play against the big two over here?
We need more internationals and not just for a few weeks at the end of the season, the RLIF needs to be backed by both the NRL and the RFL for at least two international Windows so we can play at least two Test series a year, ideally next year we could play a three match series in the summer and then a further series with warm up matches in the autumn.

Not a problem, providing you are happy to pay 50% more for your SL tickets

The thing is, in soccer you have a major tournament every two years. I know the Fifa World Cup is the big prize, but European Championships (and other continent based competitions) are still a big deal for internationals.

On that basis, since we don't have a Euros so to speak - the World Cup is all we have, it would be nice to shave a year off, to have it more a little more regularly. I think in our sport the players deserve to be apart of something like this more often, as there is bugger all else.

Well maybe we should start building the Four Nations up a bit more then. No disrespect, but we shouldn't be playing England internationals in Leigh, Salford, Warrington etc anymore. We should be playing out of Elland Road, Etihad, Bramall Lane, Villa Park, Wembley, Old Trafford etc. and build up the promotion of the event like we did with the WC. It's also important we stay on the BBC, maybe SSN will ignore us, but it's worth it to get to more viewers and importantly, more sponsors.

I read on twitter that from the 4 Nations 2014 up until RLWC 2017, all internationals will be on Premier Sports, with just the England games on BBC. I really hope that isn't the case, because we need the whole of the WC on BBC and not just England games and we can't afford to hide the International game away on PS.

But we do have a Euro, unfortunatly they arent any good

For the love of god not elland road.

Spot on!

Ever four at a minimum... I would prefer five yeas between events.

Where we play the games is defined by the expected quality of the opposition and the competitiveness of the match, improve the quality of the NH nations and bigger venues will be required and used

Five would then put us in conflict with other major events, we now have our own ' slot ' in the calender, now it just requires hard work and investement

We've got our own slot and a set international rugby league schedule for the first time in what must be a long time. Ok it's only one event so far but that's a step forward compared to having none.

Our next step should be to organise other events (tours, 4/5/6 nations etc) to be included in a regular international schedule.

One of the reason's this WC has been so successful is because there hasn't been one over here for so long. The international game becomes stale when it's the same events over and over.

People are getting carried away with this tournament's success and think all of a sudden mid season European 6 Nation tournaments and more frequent WCs will just take off, when in reality it won't. We have 3 nations that are head and shoulders above any other team and it is very unlikely that any of the others are going to catch up any time soon.

The elite teams need a settled international calendar featuring Tours, 4N and World Cups, whilst also increasing the number of emerging nations fixtures. Personally I would look at working on a five year cycle with a the 5th being a one year break from international tournaments, replaced with an extended World Club competition, though I appreciate that would be unpopular with a lot of people.
