| Reading a few posts on other sites across RL fans and in general I have noticed a lack of passion and motivation in people towards England and internationals in general. Personally, I have never had a REAL passion for the internationals and have always been a "club before country" person. What is everyone else's feelings towards Internationals...
Are you THAT bothered??

| Not passionate at all. Obviously want them to win but they rarely do so its hard to get passionate about. Theres alot of things the RFL get wrong, all this bollox where people like Faasavalu and Manu are allowed to play for England, the crap coaches, crap performances. Its just a poorly run set up so im not that bothered about it!

Me too. The good it would do the game of rugby league as a whole to have England win the World Cup would be enormous. Love international rugby league myself and am watching the France v Scotland European Cup match as I type. Went to Avignon last week to watch France cane Ireland and can't wait for the 4 Nations.
I've never understood why rugby fans will go down the pub or settle down on the couch to watch international football, yet can't make the same [ieffort[/i to watch rugby league.
The excuses that poured out for not watching/attending when we played the French at Leigh last year were embarrassing.

| I don't mind International RL but the constant tri/four nations events are getting a bit tedious. Prefer the three match test series.

I can honestly say I cannot put my finger on why it is that Im not bothered the same about internationals. Dont get me wrong I love rugby league but for some reason I just cant get passionate about Internationals. I mean lets be honest, Saints, Wire, Leeds, Wigan, Huddersfield all could of won SL this year, however, New Zealand or Australia WILL win the world cup, and WILL win the tri nations, I think the fact it is so predictable is why people arent bothered the same.

Im thinking more for the good of the game than the good of Wigan.
I've been lucky enough to see Wigan win more trophies in my lifetime (I know I'm an old b*gg*r) than any other RL team, but would love to see England / GB win the RL World Cup.

| I can't get passionate about the England thing in comparison to if it were Great Britain. I know it's essentially the same team but I would much rather see Great Britain win the Ashes than England win the world cup/four nations. Couldn't give a **** what the media think is more important it's what's more important to me that I care about.
That said I would still love us to win over there and would be out celebrating if we did.

Slight adjustment for me
2013 - UK World Cup
2014 - Test Series v NZ (Away)
2015 - Four Nations (Aus/NZ)
2016 - Test Series v Aust (Home)
2017 - World Cup in Aus/NZ
2018 - Test Series v NZ (Home)
2019 - Four Nations (UK)
2020 - Test Series v Aust (Away)
2021 - World Cup (UK)
World cup every four years with a four nations in the middle of each one.

We need the Ashes back asap IMO. That is the heartbeat of International RL, just like it is in cricket. England won the 20-20 world cup this year but hardly anyone cared. It's the ashes that people care about.

To be honest, I'd be happy with either idea Bilko.

| I'm not all that fussed in all honesty. I think that is mainly because the RFL also aren't that bothered, and it gets very little attention.

I wouldn't. Much as I'd love England to win, I'm definitely "club before country". Not trying to justify it in any way, it's just the way I am.
If I had to choose between watching Wigan or England, I'd choose Wigan every time.
