Despite all the rhetoric about the importance of Int Rl the NRL still treat it as a second class citizen. Still waiting on the pacific cup details as well. Youd think all the money NRL has theyd have an Int game team by now sorting this stuff out. Doesn't bode well for the world cup next year!

Yep, I blame this attitude from head office for the apathy towards the once prestigious Kangaroos jersey from players and fans.

Aus to win 3 - 0

I just hope for the health of the international game eng are competitive.

but it’s not saying much about the standard of players in England that the 2 best players ( French and arrow ) couldn’t get a start in the NRL.

Hopefully the majority of englands team will be made up of nrl players.

TBF Keary was a Gf winner in NRL and has been dogsht in SL. Players dont always transition well. SL is more open attacking RL than NRL so no surprise some players fair better.

Tier capacities
Lower bowl 34,303
Middle bowl 16,532
Upper tier 39,165

Looking at tickets
Lower bowl 6/43 sections sold out, around 65% tickets sold = 22.3k
Middle bowl 22/51 sections sold out, around 70% tickets sold = 11.5k
Upper bowl Currently only 8 sections open for sale, about 1000 sold

I'd say approx 35k sold so far

I still think there’s another 10k-15k at the very least tickets to be sold to northern based fans between now and once the super league season is done and dusted.

ive yet to buy mine so that’s another 2 you can add to the total.

The initial rush is over, its now time for marketing to Aussies in London and the fence sitters in the North. Sadly marketing and RL are strange bed fellows so lets see if its any different this time.

Wane certainly doesnt help, he's such a miserable sod and the headlines out of his first squad gathering was 'youre not very good and need to be better' plus who wasn't picked.
Thats a great sales pitch to fans wondering if its worth trekking to London for a contest!

I'm expecting around 50-60k.

Looks like Mal's been shafted!

Wayne Bennett is reportedly now favourite to be appointed the Kangaroos coach for this year’s Ashes tour of England when the ARL Commission meet in the coming days.
A rule change would have to be enacted to rubber stamp South Sydney coach Bennett for the role, with club coaches currently prevented from taking on the national team job.
According to CODE Sports, Bennett is the clear frontrunner, but Storm legend Cameron Smith and former Broncos coach Kevin Walters are also contenders.
The Kangaroos position became vacant when Mal Meninga accepted a job to become to coach of the Perth Bears, who will enter the competition in 2027.

Howver veteran journalist Andrew Webster believes Meninga has a right to feel aggrieved, given he had to relinquish the Kangaroos gig after landing the Bears job.
“There’s a commission meeting and I expect Bennett to get the job but I don’t say it with any great certainty given the way this has played out,” Webster said on Saturday League Kick Off.
“The problem is, if they’re going to go for Bennett, why not just give it to Mal in the first place?
“I have no doubt that Mal will be very upset if Wayne Bennett gets that job because they said you can’t take the job because you’re going to Perth. It’s a very shambolic situation.”
Brad Fittler sensationally rejected the Kangaroos job earlier this week, citing he didn’t have the time required to “do the job justice”.
