I vote France I would go with that, but a lot of work would need to be done and a lot of money found. One of the first things they need to do there like here and increase its junior playing base, and Rugby League awareness. Easier said that done, but its a must must starters.

Scubby Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Again, why such hyperbole in the headlines? Aussie journalists just love to give their own sport a good kicking for a cheap headline. It may well be that all this plays out but the way journalists who supposedly love our sport (in Aus and the UK) appear to take great joy in giving it a kicking is firstly, disturbing and secondly, quite sad.

JM2010 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I think a mid season test against France should be revived also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair Proszenko was one of the very few Aussie journalists who supported the Denver match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic case of blaming the messenger, Scubs. Surely it is the job of journalists to check these things out? Not their fault if promoters don’t pay their bills.

Perhaps if he did some proper research via the RLIF and Moore Sports themselves then we would get a better story. Same with other stories based in the UK.

I am frustrated as you mate but would it be so difficult to get a statement from the RLIF about the 2025 WC or Moore sports themselves? Same as what is happening with UK reporting. It is not as if Rimmer and Elstone are hard to find FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a trait of journalism down under in particular. They do it a lot with player misbehaviour and club scandals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it looks like he’s spoken to the NZRL who had this to say. “The Denver Test, Peters said, will almost certainly be a one-off.” Who will England play if the Kiwis feel like they’ve been burnt by MS? Yes it would be good to get everyone’s view but if the Kiwis aren’t interested then who else will take up the baton knowing a game in the USA may cost them money?

The Hallucinating Goose Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I would love England (first team) to play PNG in Port Moresby mid-season. Since those great world cup games it is definitely on my bucket list to go to a game in PNG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second line quickly moves onto the 2025 RLWC, how difficult is it to get a reaction from Moore Sports, the RFL or the RLIF? This just looks like someone giving the NZ guy a call and writing an article based on one conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver Clothesoff Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Almost certainly spells the end of the New York City RL side too. Shame really, I would have loved to have seen a second North American side, especially one from the biggest and most recognisable city in the world, take on Toronto and join Rugby League.

Not sure why you say that, the 2 are unrelated. However there were already concerns about the New York proposal so it wouldn’t surprise me if that didn’t come to fruition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
