it proves my point because they have one professional RL team to 15 in Australia. They shouldnt even get close!

Kangawhos are failures and a disgrace to our great country! :/;
So explain how Ireland beat Australia in that joke of a series you play :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

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 :wink:
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. :(/ :(/ :(/
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.

Jealousy? Oh please. I'm actually looking forward to witnessing the disaster and embarrassment that is a RL World Cup in the UK again. As I said earlier, history repeating itself.
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.
