good for you , I don't begrudge anyone a bit of excitement in their lives & better it be a game of RL then another sport

but
the absolute delusional garbage being posted about international RL once again becoming the pinnacle of our game off the back of this present set up needs to be called what it is

Baloney ......
Don't worry too much about baselinepanther, this is a guy so short sighted he thinks origin will forever be the pinnacle of the game.

As the games boarders grow Origin will slip off into obscurity and die the same death as City V Country Origin.

Already in 2022 the games best props, back rowers, lock and centre can't play Origin, in 10 or 20 years 50% of the games best players won't be able to play.

Who the f**k will want to watch that shit :D :D :D

Do you remember the 1987 Rugby World Cup ? I do, I attended games. There were scores of 70 - 10, crowds of 5k, emerging nations made up entirely of heritage players. Were you on forums back then telling them the sport was headed no where and anyone who thought it could grow was laughable and delusional ?

For the 5th time you've doged the question. You've appointed yourself the gatekeeper of international elegability, in the scenario I gave you putting yourself in the same situation as the Samoans and Tongans, what's your answer ?

If you were born in Japan to Australian parents, who you can you play for ?
A) Japan
B) Australia
C) Eligible for both
I'll add in a fourth option
D) You'd be Japanese pretending to be an Aussie
more idiotic comparisons 🤣 🤣
I mean omfg
was this our first world cup ( aka unions in 87) ?... no dopey
weve had them for nearly 70 years
did union have a level / tier that was vastly above their international scene for 40 years before their first world cup ... or even 30 years ?
no they didn't

you can keep banging on with your deluded thoughts on RL ... they're hilarious

It doesn’t have to be the pinnacle to be enjoyable though. And it’s thoroughly enjoyable watching NRL players strengthen the sides that have traditionally struggled against the top 3 international teams. Watching the heart that Tonga played with a few years back was awesome, and watching Samoa emulate that this year is pretty gratifying.
pretty much what I said , but lets not delude ourselves
its only when clowns in here make laughably inaccurate claims about this version of international RL sweeping all others before it ... that those rubbish predictions are challenged

There's alot of comparisons that can be made between RUWC 87 and RLWC21

Let's catch up in 35 years and see where we're at.

I'll guarantee you your quirky made up game of Origin will be dead.

BTW, 6th time you've failed to answer, A,B or C ?

League has only tried to grow in the past decade and had pretty good growth. I've been around long enough to see sports grow and fall, I'm confident league will make good progress in the next 35 years.

Unfortunately for SOO tragics I can't see it still being a thing in a couple of decades. We already are omitting about a dozen of the best players, what will happen in 10,20 or 30 years when it's omitting 60 of the best players ? It'll be a shame to see it go, it provides a cute little distraction during the season. Nothing more, nothing less

7th attempt. A, B or C ??

I think I'm starting to get a better picture of you. Is this correct??

International league is a hoax

AFL posses no threat in Western Sydney

In 100 years time Origion will still be the pinnacle of the game.

All other sports can use heritage players except Rugby League.

Nothing will EVER change, Climate change is a hoax, The Earth is flat, all replys must use side ways laughing emojis.

C'mon, it's time to come clean, you're Gus Gould, correct??

8th attempt, why won't you answer??? ( insert side ways laughing emoji )
