Looking at the state of RL in today's sporting world is quite depressing in that we have no international game to speak of. Our panic driven Ashes series is a panic effort t boost our marketability.
We don't hear much about the game in Europe for instance, though I believe that it is played in a few countries. Has anyone got a better knowledge?
What I was thinking was that even if the game is played at a lower level than SL or NRL we could still play internationals with a team selected from the Championship clubs. It would bring a new interest into the 'second string' teams.
Any thoughts ?
I reckon your "panic driven" comment is a bit harsh mate. Everton, and Headingley are both (long since) out, with Wembley looking promising as well. As I've mentioned on other threads, our tickets are booked for all three, and we're hugely looking forward to 'em, but.......
Conversely, your "lower level" words seem a good idea to me. Perhaps summat like "Championship England" v (say) Germany could be a poss in the future? Curtain raiser to OT?
Spelly.
