Not a bad format at all.
I wouldn't mind seeing the 2011 WCC given to OT with a view to trying to beat that 1994 attendance record. Probably at this stage still a bit early in the recovery from the SLW to beat it but something to aspire to.

I'm led to believe its a contractual obligation that the NRL champions have to travel to the UK to play the SL champions.
Something to do with TV rights / contracts / funding etc etc |

nope, Manly and Melbourne were offered the game but declined diue to concerns over generating enough income. At what point it looked Manly would host it at SFS but they got cold feet. |

Trust me on this.
It's a contractual obligation. |

The WCC would be huge in Australia, it will most definitely sell anywhere It's played,only if we had the chance to host it for a change.

I'm not sure it would.
We have the Jim Beam Cup (or Bundy Red cup as I think they call it now) if we want to watch park footy. |
