Re: RLWC2017 Predictions : Sat Oct 14, 2017 7:58 am  
England play a warm up game in Perth against a WA side. I’m not sure what playing standard the opposition will be.

Samoa beat NSW country under 23s in the first warmup game. Final score was 42 - 26 I think.

“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”

JESUS WEPT :WALL: HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.

There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :BEAT:

http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/fiji-targets-place-in-2019-nsw-cup-after-falling-short-on-latest-bid-20171014-gz0zjg.html

This is disappointing......semi-finalists in the last 2 RLWC's and still no "help' from the NRL?

If we are to get in front of the other code we need to address this.....

Australia (23)
England (24)
France (24)
Lebanon (1)
NZ(21)
Samoa (4)
Scotland (0)
Tonga (2)
Ireland (6)
PNG (20)
Wales (10)
Fiji (6)
Italy (2)
USA (14)

47% of players are playing for the country of their birth. Remove the 5 nations that have full-time professional clubs (AU/ENG/NZ/PNG/FR) and this becomes 45 players out of 9 squads....or 20%.
I predict that unless we get more coaches like Mac at the USA prepared to bring home grown players to the tournament, then we'll see more games between Austraia B v New Zealand B masquerading as Pacific Island nations....

Don't get me wrong.....I am soooooo looking forward to Tonga v NZ, Samoa v NZ and other clashes, but we've not moved on 1 jot since 2013 in the terms of developing the game as an international game.....and if the development of the game isn't the point of the RLWC, then what is? a 5 million quid profit last time is hardly a game changer....

Australia vs NZ final with the Aussies winning easily again. Boring.

It'll be great to watch up until that final, barring the games England play in.

I think I'm right in saying everything is on Premier. England games, 1 semi and the final on BBC

BBC schedule:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/41510260

England games live, one semi and final, couple of wales games on radio and doing a highlights show.

All games live on Premier Sports, I'm guessing they will put some of them on Freesports as well.
