OK - Hypothetical question: The RFL invest in a national stadium; where do they build it? A few locations:

London - Far away but good for hiring out. Cost of land etc would be high.
Manchester - M62 belt but good for hiring out.
Birmingham - Not too far; outside of the M62 so can't be accused of being flatcappers. Again, good for hiring out. Close proximity to West Country, might draw a few liberal Union fans who remember Wigan 7s etc?

Feel free to add more.

We play our most important DOMESTIC game of the year at Old Trafford.

Hope THIS helps..............

Winning rhe RL World Cup isn't 'signifcant' by these standards.

On the subject, I was walking into the pub and it was just starting-awful clap trap.

Only caught the 2nd half and I actually thought it was a good spectacle. So glad that last penalty didn't effect me. The Irish fans must have been sh*tting themselves.

Except that they are welsh and irish

Lords is the Marylebone Cricket Club's ground, also Middlesex, and the home of the EWCB,.

we should do something similar with Wembley, I thought when it was rebuilt it was a condition that rugby League had to be played there. the GB internationals there in the past were great occasions,

Most of the backs would make pretty decent RL players, its the 'fly halfs' that infuriate, they insist on kicking even when theres a glaring gap/overlap.
As for the forwards......... pfffft!!

LMFAO


Do you REALLY think that those 4 centres are better than Gidley, Senior and Carmont?


I would give you Shane Williams, he would make a good RL Winger in the style of Robinson.

But 1 from 30 is about it as far as I am concerned.
