Sorry, that last one was mine.

Is it just me that doesn't really care about international rugby league?

Or am I just not a true fan?

Your choice however don't start bitching at the RFL et al when your beloved Tomkins joins rugby union due to better money and bigger international profile.

Should have held it in Wigan instead then hey?

Anyway by the time of the game I believe this money will be going to the Reds.

Simple answer to that, raise the salary cap. But we wont go into that......

The rugby union salary cap is higher, in no small part, due to the money that the clubs receive from the RFU which is generated via the international game.

Hopefully the link between the general apathy to international RL and the lack of money in the game to support a sustainable increase in the salary cap is simple enough for yourself to understand.

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.
