JoneslessBishop Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Apologies if I misunderstood you Spud. The love rugby league article very much stated that the Pacifc test will be played on the origin weekend to satisfy the void in broadcasting. The fact they are being moved to the Origin weekend from the Anzac weekend would seem to support that no? And the fact that Origin are being flexible in allowing pacific island Interntionals to play Origin is at worst a failure to see a threat from interntional RL, and at best a willingness to work with it. The head of the ARLC is on the RLIF board. I don't think Origin will ever move to 3 consecutive weekends. The media love building the hype over a month between tests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonka Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I can honestly say I don't mind what the format is - World Cup, tours, 4 Nations. I like watching England v NZ or Australia either way. Always ends up the same anyway - me getting overexcited then England/GB losing agonisingly. Or getting battered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't that the truth... other than on the TV, I never seen England/GB win in London or England/GB beat Australia when I've attended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the nature of the defeats that kills me - I feel like I have seen every type. 1-0 up in the series then lose agonisingly Get destroyed in a World Cup semi final Get whitewashed 3-0 losing each by a converted try Losing a semi final in the dying seconds Losing by a cricket score Losing when everyone expected them to Losing when no one expected them to The 2015 series win v the Kiwis was a big highlight for me; I nearly wept with relief.
