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.

The problem with many 'club before country' people (and I'm not speaking about specific posters here) is that it is more club rather than country.

I think International Rugby League needs to be strong if the game is ever going to expand beyond it's traditonal strongholds

So long as Wigans contingent come home fit I'll be happy. Yes I do want England to win. But I'm realistic and therefore put my in interests first.

Infact, I'd rather Sam sat it out with his groin. Even if it is to the detriment of the national teams chances.
I'd of also liked Lockers, Joel and Fielden to have had longer winters than gone over there with about as much chance of winning the comp as Quins have the SL

Yes, you can tell it's an honour for them to represent their country. Not many people get to do so and as the lads have said on many occasions, pulling on the white of England or the blue, white and red of GB is the stuff dreams are made of.

I think the RFL made a mistake in separating the GB into England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Lets be honest, the game is played professionally in England and one club in Wales.

Why go to those lengths and create 4 sides out of one, and in effect making 4 weaker sides play against the strong sides of Australia and NZ?

If RL ever expands to those 4 nations it seems stupid to have a Scottish and Irish side.

I loved the Test Series that the GB side played against the Aussies, but a team called England does not have the same kudos about it.

Weaker? How many of the Scotland, Ireland or Wales players would get into the GB side?

As usual Brian I agree. I love Wigan with all my heart, but for me the International team comes first. I am pleased to say i also think we are starting to move in the right direction although it may be 5 year plus before we see the proof sadly.

Country over club every time for me. International rugby for me has to be the pinnacle of our game and my fondest memories of the game have come when we have turned the Aussies over.

Sorry I have to disagree, there was grown men in tears at old trafford, the club game has far more passion. Would you be in tears if England beat Australia??

One of the greatest nights as an RL or Wigan supporter was in Melbourne 1992 when we beat the Aussies.

Lager on the cornflakes for breakfast, singing in the rain, the Wigan six pack. Supporters from ALL clubs English on a fantastic high, I really can't explain it, but then was when I realised the importance of International RL.
