    World Cup Squads

    That pack is as good as anything Tonga & Samoa have on offer.

    NZ should be favourites?

    He will be back for the Cup. Play a pool game and then straight into the Quarters. Ideal for New Zealand tbh.

    Keary committed to Ireland

    I forgot about Harper. He would probably push Wood into the pack. Also Ethan Ryan at Hull KR and Keith Seniors twin boys are wing options. Louis Senior has been outstanding this year for a young bloke. Gareth Obrien is a journeyman spine player for Castleford, he could be an option at 9 or back...

    Which team will be the surprise packet this World Cup

    The structure of the draw makes no sense. Surely a team could only the play the another team twice if they made the final. Gotta love Rugba League

    World Cup Kits

    Shut up and take my money!

    FIFA Confederations Cup style international tournament

    Is this still in the pipe line as the replacement for the Four Nations? I believe the IRL were looking at Australia, England, New Zealand & maybe France as proprietors of the tournament with Pacific Champions, Pacific Runners Up, Highest ranked European nation and a winner of a repechage play...

    Kanagroos starting 17

    Suaalii is an automatic selection surely. So many outside backs declaring for the Pacific teams. If Cobbo and Coates get a run ahead of him then the selectors have no idea.

    Which team will be the surprise packet this World Cup

    He has been one of Hulls best this year. Was VERY impressed at his last game vs Saints where he played mostly left side half.

    Keary committed to Ireland

    There centres will be Toby King and Sam Wood. Both are top 5 in their position in Super League on their day. At fullback they have a few options it depends who puts their hand up. A really good utility called Riley Dean from Warrington was there 18's Captain. Proper Irish. In the pack you...

    Which team will be the surprise packet this World Cup

    Considering they have made the Semi Finals for the last 3 world cups it shouldn't come as a Surprise but I really like a full strength Fiji to do some damage. If Korasau plays at nine they have Lovodua from Hull FC who is a genuine threat at half.

    Keary committed to Ireland

    Ireland is an interesting side as their are roughly twenty Super League players that are eligible and most have previously stated there passion for representing their heritage. Can not say the same for the likes of Scotland, Italy etc. Similar to the Pacific Island teams. There best 17 on...

    Can Toulouse survive?

    100%. Leigh offer absolutely nothing except for an owner with enough cash to make them relevant. I used to play against there juniors at academy / junior level and we would towel them up*. There juniors couldn't get a run at Wigan St Patricks let alone Wigan (Leigh is a shitty suburb in Wigan)...

    Welcome RugBee

    Urgh. Hate it but it will do. Better than 08 when the closest thing we had to a mascot was the chick doing JetStar commercials

    Can Toulouse survive?

    It is a very small sample size to judge the French national team since Catalans came into the league as I would only judge them since 2015/16 when Catalans really set up there academy and started bringing in talent from Villeneuve, the Aude region and east of Avignon. Before hand the Catalans...

    Can Toulouse survive?

    I respectfully disagree PR. They need about 40. Similar to Italians and Argentinians in top level European Rugby working simultaneously with their club and a high performance unit attached to the National team similar to the Pumas. Currently I would say France have about 15-20 players that I...

    Can Toulouse survive?

    The future of rugby league is investment in France. It is NOT pseudo international sides from the Pacific and the rest of Europe with blokes born and bred in Wigan and Western Sydney. Super League needs to be EUROPEAN. Catalans & Toulouse exempt from relegation. Yes, that is not 'fair' to...

    Starting 13's

    Just on France, With Toulouse relegated I expect this will be their last squad in a while with 100% top flight experience. Shame really.

    Starting 13's

    I expect France to show up this year. I wouldn't say they have any World Class players but a few in the squad could be considered in the Top 5 in their position in Super League. 1. Arthur Morgue (the Reece Walsh of Super League, could be anything) 2. Paul Marcon 3. Matthieu Juassume 4...

    IRL NINE NATIONS CHAMPIONSHIP

    I think there’s pros and cons of every potential tournament. If you take into account every side would play a pre tournament test and most likely one home and one away for European teams. eg: France vs Wales in Avignon & France vs Cook Islands / Lebanon / prime ministers 13 etc in Campbelltown...

    IRL NINE NATIONS CHAMPIONSHIP

    For shits and giggles, below is layout of the tournament with reasonable crowd predictions. I would have a double header every round plus the semi finals. Week 1 FIJI vs PAPUA NEW GUINEA Port Moresby 15k ENGLAND vs SAMOA Brisbane 40k* AUSTRALIA vs TONGA Brisbane 40k*...
