Message: [QUOTE="Kimlo, post: 2314134, member: 2021"] We all know Australia is by far the best team, regardless of NZ winning that game. Since 1975 only once has another team won the world cup. Remember you're the one who was arguing that the international game is fine but I'm yet to see how it's "fine" when it has close to no competition, doesn't generate much hype, gets pushed back for lame tv shows, can't get a live showing, no real excitement from the fans when the world cup is about to happen, stadiums are barely sold out and players are hardly excited at the prospect of a world cup where it's really play everyone else until you get demolished by Australia. It's improving but it has a very long way to go. International rugby league needs to be a lot strong with the world cup being the pinnacle of our game. If we are to be as strong as possible and rival other codes, particularly with regards to funds which ultimately leads to higher paid players. You can not deny that having a strong international game would do wonders for our sport with the first being how much revenue we make. Union would not be able to touch rugby league if we had a strong international game. Great Britain is hardly what I would call a competitor, they are walkovers against the Australian team. Here is some results from the last world cup. AUS(52) V FIJ(0) AUS (30) V NZ (6) AUS (52) V ENG (4) AUS (46) V PNG (6) The best thing for IRL was NZ winning the title. Some test match results from 2009 Australia (38) vs. New Zealand (10) Crowd 37,152 - Not even a sellout with NZ winning the last match and this being in Suncorp. Papua New Guinea XIII (18) vs. Australia XIII (42) England (16) vs. Australia (26) France (04) vs. Australia (42) Australia (46) vs. England (16) And this year Australia beat NZ again. You still think it's reasonable to say ? [/QUOTE]
