If England wins the bid for the World Cup, where will the Final be?
I think that Wembley is actually a realistic possibility IF it is promoted correctly and if the Tickets are a realistic price!
It would be one hell of an advert to the game if it was also!
We sell it out for CC finals so why not promote it big stile! If England got to the final can you Imagen it!

and what if England dont get to the final??? How many do you expect to travel down to London??? Wont sell out and will be a terrible advert for the game....

cant see this event working at all the ozzies will walk it , we now have 2 types of game , super league and the ozzie league,while i think our game is more open and entertaining,the ozzie game is 1 of sheer attrition,1 side gets tired and the other 1 wins,all the players are starting to look the same ,soon be no half backs etc ,just 17 big blokes against 17 big blokes,we will not live with their power,

the aussies will walk it eh?



remind me again what happened last november..

City of manchester? old trafford?

Wembley is the National Stadium.

The trick would be to offer cheep tickets if your purchase before a selected day.

if its at wembley can you find enough aussie and kiwi fans to fill it

or perhaps if you have teams 3 and 4 playing the game before youll get english fans along to cover the rest.

You clearly have not watched an NRL game. Id love to know where people get this Superleague is more entertaining thing. The best thing about having a Superleague game on channel 9 before the NRL, is that you get to see exactly how poor Superleague actually is and how much of a higher standard the NRL is.

Just to clarify, Bondi_Warrior, are you an Aussie or a relocated Pom?

A relocated Pom, born in Wigan, i know superleague and i know the NRL, and like anyone down here i know how much better and faster it is compared to Superleague

better yes...faster???? they had to bring in 2 refs to make it close

Actually watch a few games a week and then maybe you'll see. Anyway you enjoy your superleague and 2 rate rugby, because its never going to be close to the NRL.

As much as Ellis is playing well for Wests, ive never seen him look so tired throughout a game as he does down here.

That may be to do with the fact Sheens is playing him for 80 mins a game, where as at Leeds and for England he's been playing 55/65 mins a game the last couple of years.

funny how he's even admitted that its faster and harder, face it Superleague isnt even close to the standard of the NRL....

That is pretty much evident looking at the difference in player quality....

bondi,i never said our game was better than urs ,they are 2 different types of game superleague and nrl your players are supurb athletes your game is quicker and more physicly demanding but until 1 team gets tired its 5 and a kick,5 and a kick etc,its a stalemate,and your game is becoming stagnent and sometimes boring ,superleague is more or less at the stage origin was at 10yrs ago and is more open and more entertaining.you have moved 2 another level but not ness for the best

Hmm, i'm not sure if I want to ask what you mean by SL being at the stage Origin was 10 years ago...

Considering the success the 2008 World Cup was and the fact it included the majority of the great communities that support that game in Australia and the Pacific, why would anyone want to hold it in England again?

remember the disaster last time around when the Poms tried to run it?

Credit to the the land under the southern Cross, the Banana Benders where out in mass...
But only about 1000 New South Welshmen turned out for there own Semi final in Sydney (in fact there where more England fans at that game!)
I loved the World Cup and would not complain if it was in AUS again to be honest...

... and in fairness to us poms our game from a financial perspective has developed vastly and we left it to the RFL to organise the event themselves whereas in 2008 the NRL paid someone to do it for them....

lets play it in new zealand

it's true though dally and you know it

anybody thats says SL is faster than the NRL is either a liar or doesnt know anything about RL.

SL is a slower version of the nrl with poorer skills.

thats what i know.

Spot on

At least, one other person knows what there talking about

Play it at Wembley, do good deals on tickets for all amateur clubs and include financial incentives for clubs to sell tickets. Free tickets for jnr clubs that are willing to put on a coach trip for the kids, market the heck out of it in london and we will get 60,000+

We have roughly:
100,000 SL fans
15,000 other fans
20,000 players and jnrs+
10,000 antipodeans in London+
and the rest

Surely it shouldn't be hard to fill it!
