Sir Kevin Sinfield 1,120 Report post Posted November 2, 2019 We need to bring back a Four Nations in 2020. Forget a 3 match test series, a Four Nations would be so much better. Every game would be absolutely massive, any of the 4 Nations could be in the Final and any of the 4 Nations could win it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RL fans are effing idiots... I dont think that because people want an international calendar they should be satisfied with a rubbish one. Should we stick with what we have set just because it's set and not bother improving it? Do we repeat the lions tour in 2024 despite it being an obvious failure just because we have a calendar? Also the international calendar changes at far less than 12 months notice every year. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DavidM 7,505 Report post Posted November 2, 2019 I agree in general about the four nations , but next year we’ve a kangaroos tour which we’ve wanted and is always box office so I wouldn’t be shifting that . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RL fans are effing idiots... Can you imagine the uproar if we stopped an Ashes Australia tour next year? I think 2022 onwards should be looked at and revised for the future... I am not a massive fan of tours now we have some other competitive nations playing the game. They were justifiable when we only had four nations playing the sport competitively at the highest level. That's not the case now and the likes of Tonga, Fiji and Samoa should be playing Australia, New Zealand and England every year or close to every year as possible. More exposure for the likes of France, Lebanon, Wales et al should be the goal as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bird 114 Report post Posted November 2, 2019 The Four Nations should stay buried, its not a IRLproperty and any profits go to the Big 3. I would have have the fixture list controlled by IRL and money raised go to funding the worl game. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MatthewWoody 646 Report post Posted November 2, 2019 Midseason test v France is a must, though I can see SL club blocking it. But England (and France, too) need to spend time together as a group, gel, try combinations, etc. But I'd prefer a Kangaroo tour to a 4N. Play Australia 3 times and see how it goes. I think they will all be sell-out or similar, given that England came very close in the WC final and that Australia is the best team in the world.
