2021 World Cup

[deluded pom?]

The ball is already rolling.

Looking forward to it way more than Russia 2018.

One incredibly frustrating aspect already is that new seperate social media accounts have been created on Twitter and Facebook for RLWC 2021.

The 'Rugby League World Cup' has 225,000 likes on Facebook. RLWC 2021 has just over 400.
RLWC 2017 has 15,000 followers on Twitter, RLWC2021 has 565.

Why would they not just change their name? Further, the RLWC 2017 is a 'verified' account on Twitter whereas the RLWC2021 is not.

These aren't just minor quibbles, and who knows where Facebook/Twitter will be in 4 years time but why would lose all that connected network?

I would like to see South Africa qualify.

Exactly those Tongan, Samoan, Fijian, Lebanese, Italians, let alone Australians who mostly watch the NRL are exclusively NRL fans and not rugby league fans. Most wouldn't even know there is a 2021 RLWC.

exactly those Tongan, Samoan, Fijian, Lebanese, Italians, let alone Australians who mostly watch the NRL it's likely the majority of them don't even know there is a 2021 Rugby League World Cup which is a massive shame.

I bet a lot of them don't even know there's a 2021.

I bet a lot of them don't even know there's a 2021.

My point. As I said they aren't RL fans, they are exclusive NRL fans. The next time they may even know about a World Cup, when Australia/NZ host a World Cup in about 15-20 years from now..

Some fans are clueless, case in point with the fans trying to start a mexican wave in the last 5 mins of the World Cup Final. Thanks for showing up though.

Sent them tweet but no response. Any luck?

I meant the year 2021.

They have 'seen' my message on Facebook Messenger. They didn't reply.

 

[adamkungl]

The RLIF needs a social media policy for its tournaments.
"Run by different people" should not be an excuse here.

I saw Mascords reason. Nearly fell off my chair.

Worrying when even the most ambitious RL people can't see obvious fails like this..

Incredible, good work everyone - League Unlimited did it!
