One argument about holding tests, or more importantly test series is the time table.
There is the vs NZ, Anzac day, mid year, after gf. The time table doesn't look that good really.
And even though RU did ok with its WC after the gf, it's only because of the size of the event.
I don't think we could have a 3 test series vs NZ after every grand final, after all the grand finals special appeal is it IS the close to the season.
Perhaps would should play more towards championships rather than series, following soccer, are even closer, UEFA's schedule. Resembling 4 year time tables.
So for league the 4th year would be the WC.
In the second year it would be our region championshi, like the European nations Cup, held in europe.
To start would be Australia, NZ, PNG and Pacific Nations.
Europe could run their European Nations championship, replacing England 'A' with a full strength England.
The 1st and 3rd years of the cycle could see tours, outbound and inbound.
