Message: [QUOTE="Dave, post: 2152216, member: 1763"] Mick I don't think fans are deathriding the WC - just crying out for a more competitve tournament. Currently though no team is going to get within cooee of Australia - last night was our warm up game and we toyed with a NZ side who have supposedly had the perfect preparation. I actually think that the worst thing that could happen with the administration we currently have in the game is a close WC - I reckon they would then get a false sense of security and have a mindset of "Gee we have a great international comp, no need to do any more than have the odd world cup" If Australia win easily (which they will) and we see the odd close game between PNG, Tonga, Samoa etc despite some really negative publicity I think that will give the ARL/NRL the kick in the backside they need to get up and do something about the international game - whether that is looking at a PNG team in the NRL or some more regular games between development squads of smaller RL nations.
