"The Victorian game may be the best game of football, but if it is so manifestly superior, one would fancy it could plead its own cause, and not require advertising like a quack pill."

Re: RL World Cup Year. How's AFL doing?
A financial disaster last time it was held in London and resulted in no further tournaments for 8 years. History repeating itself it seems. When will they learn no one is interested, even in the home of the game. Bring it on I say.Xman wrote:the RLWC is a two horse race and the second ranked country is smaller than Sydney in population and prefers RU.
Sorry NRL fans, your code needs farcical rep games like the "World Cup" to bolster what is a pretty poorly supported game in every country its played
The World Cup was last held in the UK in 2000 but the tournament, hampered by bad weather, proved a financial disaster and left the RFL in debt. It also led to the tournament being mothballed for eight years.

The pressure will be on to avoid a repeat of the over-ambitious 2000 World Cup in the northern hemisphere which was a financial disaster and nearly bankrupted the RFL.

yes should be great
big matches at Millenium Stadium Wales , Wembley London & Old Trafford in Manchester
expecting about 7,000 Aussies to make the trip ova for the tournament plus theres plenty of aussies in the UK so the Roos will have plenty of support
the jealousy ... the seething jealousy from vicky kicky fans , from the sport that has nothing .... will be palpable & hilarious to behold
