I've been having a think about the concept of Quad Nations and I'm getting less and less comfortable with it...
I'm thinking that the RLIF/RFL/ARL should be keeping and promoting the Tri Nations as a serious 'big event' tournament between the three best League Nations.
However.
When the TN is held in the Northern Hemisphere, the teams with the bye should have to play France in official Tests...
When the TN is held in the Southern Hemisphere, the teams are required during a bye to play either PNG or a combined Pacific team in an official Test.
I also believe that from a marketing point of view, a Tri Nations is a better sell than a Quad Nations.....
