Gaining momentum

This is going to be a real test of the RLIF insular old boys club if USA/Canada come up with an unbelievably compelling bid.

Nigel Wood is the head of the RFL and chairman of the RLIF. He employed David Collier CEO of the RLIF and the main rivals for the 2021 World Cup are the UK (run by Wood and his cronies)

Can this ever be impartial no matter what is on the table?

^ no

I think the ambition and the financial guarantees from the England bid are too big to ignore. My hope is that the England bid is successful but they also announce that the USA and Canada will be hosting the 2025 rlwc.

 

[adamkungl]

What ambition? It'll be the same as the last 3

So 2021 will be in England, but 2025 in the USA/Canada is a real possibiliy, being "recommended". Brillant stuff.

Kudos to the RLIF, really positive stuff.

The RLIF see the big picture and when it comes to the Yanks,there ain't no bigger picture.
