Well i don't think it would be that hard to market a RLIF international event here in Australia in October, Union i think has shown the way.
Our biggest problem is if the Onion WC is a total flop it will have a negative effect on our cup.

We must search for competitive fixtures.

they should not split up gb into home nations they never ever play as eng,soct,wal
But ireland should split away from gb

What r u talking about, it's only been the past couple of years that league has started taking off in all 4 home nations. Of course they should be self represented.

The amature home nations is now an annual event. And hopefully the ENC will become a 6 nations round robin next year.

I dont want to support GB full of English. I want to support Wales full of Welsh..

so when does a full english squad play???
not since the world cup

England and Wales played in 2001 it was a pretty good game buy all reports won buy England in the end, that was the last time a full England side played.

After reviewing the Test on the Weekend and then the Med cup scores, i am totaly of the opinion now that the WC should have 10 nations maximum.

I will review this once again after the Ashes and the Euro nations cup.

A rugby league world cup is needed and i have put much thought into this.
The most viable year for the competition to be played would be 2005.
This ensures there is no competition via the Olympics(2004), Soccer World Cup(2006), Rugby World Cup(2007), Cricket World Cup(2007), European Soccer Cup (2004), Winter Olympics (2006).
2005 is the only year with no competition and is the obvious choice. If played every four years this ensures the League World Cup has no competition and becomes the years top sporting event.

Exactly the theory I've been promoting for the past year or so.

2005/9 is the way to go.
