I say it should be.
Giving games to cities that have a professional team is one of the few concrete measures the RLIF could take to boost the new competition in the US at little cost.
Cities in the US, such as Jacksonville, have shown that they will put up money to stage events that will draw tourists, and the possibility of 10k from the UK and 10k from Australasia should mean money enough will be available to stage the event - along with a TV deal which factors in reasonable TV times for Aus and UK.
If we use the same stadiums as the US professional league and pay the US administrators to organise the event, with maybe some 'experts' from the RLIF, i believe we will boost the American game at every level, from fans, to players, to officials, to TV audiences and also boost their administration expertise.
