Message: [QUOTE="mick, post: 2133018, member: 1794"] Another batch of tix for the final on sale yesterday or today, I believe. Can't farrrking wait! In terms of future of the World Cup, it's pretty simple for me. The first part is MARKETING, and it's something the game (ARL, NSWRL, QRL and NRL alike) is absolutely abysmal at doing successfully. I really think they need to get to work and get people off their apathetic arses to the games. Just look at the IRB when it comes to the RU World Cup. They've got one, maybe two, more competitive teams in that event than in ours, and somehow ours gets lambasted in the press and people just don't care. However, the buzz around Qld in particular has been great for this, and I think strong crowd support will go towards making this a great experience for some of the smaller countries, which should hopefully attract good media attention and hope to grow the game further. The second and simplest point is consistency. Do it every four years FFS! I'd love to see the contest shared around, too. RL is growing in leaps and bounds in countries like Wales and France in particular, both of which have the right infrastructure in place to host it. Australia, NZ, England, Wales, France... there's five host nations to cover 20 years right now. Play our cards right, and IMO the international scene will be looking FANTASTIC after those 20 years.
