We need to be careful that is doesn't become a bane to play, like a game that no one really wants due to costs and low crowds numbers and clubs start not being interested.
We should consider rewarding good work in areas with a WCC like Toronto for example, although not in February of course... lol
if we want it to take off need to showcase the sport. Apparently they're looking to turn there league professional, which would help.
If you are taking international's over, I think you have to include USA otherwise there won't be any intresting. If England v New Zealand, why not have USA v Canada before hand (both games together would be about an average NRL game).
Maybe for a one off time take magic weekend there?
If we are just relying on a couple of clubs there, the world cup would be a bust. And if we don't show teams like Tonga/PNG etc. No one will show up for there games.
I agree don't over do it, but slowly build it up so when the WC's there they're primed and ready.
The WCC should be 2 weeks after the GF. Then as you say could move it around. Toronto 1 year, France, Italy PNG etc. Use it as a showcase.
