Not felt this embarrassed for a rugby league team since I saw that Leigh kit last night.

Seen bigger scores in the SL. Not a big deal. These things happen in WCs. It's all about opportunity.

There needs to be another competition between the very top sides. A bit like darts with their World Championship and Premier League. Huge class difference in the early rounds, but it's about exposure and opportunity.

Yet you want Leigh in SL.... arnt Leigh just the Scotland of SL.

They come up to SL and each time favorite to be relegated and struggle all year - bit like teams like Scotland in their mini WC league .

Let's see this year? what you talk about is history, but you don't need to worry about mismatches at Derwent Park you can't get much lower on the ladder.

I'm not enjoying such a one sided game personally. But people moaning that it embarrasses the game should remember the England women's football team won a game 20-0 a while back and all you hear in the media is how great they are, not that big scores shouldn't happen.

In the 2005 Rugby Union World Cup, New Zealand beat Japan 145-17. They scored 21 tries. It happens.

Like my Football Nations League idea... 

I didn't disagree with it, just pointed out that the European Championship is being set up to effectively do it already.

The argument runs that Scotland will be better if they play more games like this - i.e. if we have a European Championship then this Scotland side would face England not the England Knights.

Anyone seriously believe that?

Or will they stand a better chance of improving by having regular competitive opportunities against equivalent international opposition whilst being required to develop proper domestic structures before being allowed to qualify for World Cups in the future.

Think they should be banned from RLWC qualifying until they can get a proper domestic competition running. Not just union players having a run around for 3 weeks in the off season. Proper structures, women's game, schools etc.

Exactly what I have said.

100%, Couldn’t agree more. They offer absolutely nothing.

If/when the Aussies get to the final , they’ll demand an Aussie referee.

I’m sure I read a stat that the last 20 games that they’ve played against the Kiwis ( that’s when they can be bothered to play them ) 17 of the games have been reffed by an Aussie .

Let’s face it , they need all the help they can get , don’t they 😳

We had another comp with just top sides. Like everything in RL, we got rid of it...

We need to enforce the standards that already exist.

That would focus a few minds.

(I should add: I have no issue with a blow out in a World Cup. They happen. This looks grim because of the stadium choice but I've no problem with this kind of thing happening every few years when a minnow faces a giant. It's just not helpful to condemn them to 100 point defeats every year in the name of them only playing international first teams out of principle).

Matches like this do no favours for RL. One sided game in an empty stadium with a team with no locals in it. I doubt anyone in Scotland will be picking up the sport tonight. 

Did they say this about football when Germany hammered Brazil....or did they just marvel over how good Germany were??

I don't think we should ban RL teams. 

Dont we frown on stuff like that in Rugby League with the history we have had?
