Stacey Jones has backed the return of Rugby League World Cup. Stacey Jones arguably the best New Zealander to pull on the Kiwi Jumper believes there is a place in International League to have a World Cup.
"The world cups Ive played in have been great" he said. "At the moment there's no world champion in league." "It's a good thing to have if it's done properly."
The Warriors and Kiwis halfback said he also wanted to see the proposed tri-series between New Zealand, Australia and Great Britain go ahead.
"For the sake of international football it needs to be played", he said. "It's a great concept".
But he admitted he had reservations about the length of the tour.
"Going to the UK for a long period for time is not good for the players," he said.
Its good to see that the top players from Australia (Darren Lockyer) and New Zealand (Stacey Jones) are calling for the World Cup to be played again, it just proves that International Rugby League is not dead and will always have a place in Rugby League.
