Quite simply, the biggest waste of time since Telly Savalas bought himself a comb.

WTF can even a clueless Berk like MacBanana, think he gain gain from these pointless fixtures.
He should know the body of his side for next year's WC, so why risk players potentially picking up injuries. Here's one for you. One of our few genuinely class players does his knee ligaments in one of these Clash of the Titans games. There's him gone for 6-9 months. So no pre-season, and he'll be praying that MacBanana gives him the benefit of the doubt, and he can "hit the ground running" in order to be picked for the squad. GENIUS.

There are many in our sport who say the players play too many games. Well, there's two, for starters.

The RFL will be lucky to get 5k at Salford and Wrexham.

Inspired.

The players may well have benefitted from having an extra 2 weeks off, this year.

This is the obvious answer to the caps in the NRL and RU being significantly higher than ours, but we need more money coming into the sport first - we need to get a better deal next time the Sky rights are on offer, and maybe hope for some decent competition to drive the price up.

How patronising

Poor effort Paul.

International sport in general is rubbish.

Fair enough individual competitors such as athletes, swimmers etc need to represpent "Team GB" at events like the Olympics to get the funding required to compete at all, but team sports like rugby and football belong to clubs.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

RL fans wont have it though, they truly believe the international game is "on the up" and we should all put it before our clubs and "get behind it"

True fans.
