So it's still Elland Road for the Aussie v Kiwi final again then.

If you look at cricket they know the venues/dates for test matches 3 years in advance, its a joke why we cant name 5/6 venues with at least 4 months in advance as people want to book time off work or book end of season holidays,they should be named with a year before the games,take this oct the World Cup venues will be annouced.

That will because the cricket ground are used for nothing else. Where we have to fit in with everyone elses plans.

I bet we are waiting for the footie fixtures to be finalised before we can 100% confirm venues.

Another reason for why we should be looking at the possibility of our own National stadium.

Wembley?

I was under the impression that the RFL had a share in this, and lets face it how often is the damn thing used?

At least once upon a time they had greyhounds 2 or 3 times a week!!!

Because there should be a game in Lancashire and the DW is the best ground there apart from the football grounds

Couldn't even sell out an Eng vs Aus test match last time.

Why? Considering they couldn't even sell out England v Australia, by far and away the biggest game in RL, what makes them deserve another International?

leigh is hosting england v wales apparently........according to andy wilson on twitter...though his source seems alittle shakey

Shambolic if true.

its easier for me to get from oldham to wembley than it is to get to leigh

Leigh, the land that the rail network forgot.

Some "interesting" choices there. Though the choice of the Aus-NZ venue makes even Leigh seem sensible!

Steady.

Well before you start mouthing off saying the Aus V NZ game should have been played at The Stoop, bear in mind Quins RU are at home that weekend.

Will Leigh definitely be in existence by the time the game rolls around? Don't suppose it matters as the ground isn't theirs anyway I s'pose.

Bloody hell I wasn't criticising Warrington per sé, it just seems an odd choice of venue (and time) to launch the tournament. Similarly, launching with England vs Wales at Leyth would be a pretty damp squib.

Australia v New Zealand.

In Warrington.

On a Friday


Thats hilarious






Total of Aussie and Kiwi fans will be about 10.

I'll say it. Bloody shocking lack of ambition from the RFL again. They are a bunch of absolute fools.

I can imagine the meeting. "Reet, we're a minor Norfen sport reet. So lets make it reet good forut fans. Games at Leigh, Warrington and Wrexham".

To be fair the Wembley idea is a good one. If it had been announced 12 months ago and marketed to death it could have worked. But as it is with no promotion apart from on Sky during RL games, we'll see 20,000 there and it'll be another embarassment.

Lewis. What does he bring to the sport? The minimum possible Sky deal and makes the international game a farce. We used to be able to fill grounds like the DW and Huddersfield.

What's the plan next time when they've successfully shown we can't fill these tiny grounds? Eng v Aus at Cantilever Park and Aus v NZ at Stalybridge?

Agree its a shame on the Oz Kiwi match front. But ill be there, not often get 2 best sides in World on your doorstep

Presume its down to scheduling with Quins RU and fact RL want Oz/ Kiwis spending there cash at Wembley not Quins and/or Wembley

I just realised the Wales-Australia game is on Sunday! WTF?!

You honestly couldn't make it up
