definately interested!

Could be worth a cheeky look. Looking forward to them.

Get in there!

Is there a final as well?

Come on Jamaica!

U S A! U S A!

Coolio.

I hope the USA aren't planning to pull an Aussie-style stunt and have Barrack Obama refereeing again.

Hope it gets a bit of coverage and some decent crowds.

I hope Jamaine Wray gets the MVP award!

Canada are being coached by St Helens and former Huddersfield assistant Kieron Purtill.

Old news ! He also coached them against the USA back in September

well...they have managed to get 4 days between their 2 games whilst the others "back up" after a days rest

Anyone got a list of UK-based players taking part in this tournament?

Quote ="Leyther_Matt"Anyone got a list of UK-based players taking part in this tournament?'" Only Jamaica have UK based players. The USA squad is completely taken from the AMNRL and the Canadians are partly taken from the AMNRL and partly from the newly formed domestic clubs there.

Nice to see Phil Bentham getting to take charge of an International game......


As much as he and Ganson et al receive stick on here, the decision by RLIF (or ARL if I am honest) to not have a neutral ref last weekend was stupid

Thankfully this tournament has nothing to do with the RLIF, I'm not even sure they will know it's taking place. Bentham was provided by the RLEF.

So......the RLIF, supposedly set up to Govern the game internationally isn't running this comp....but instead, the European governing body is or is at least contributing to it.....Hmmm...OK.

Yes. The RLIF does nothing other than badly organise the Four Nations when it's held in Australia. I'm not sure if it was involved in last year's Pacific Cup, but I doubt it. Literally all the development work in the northern hemisphere is done by the RLEF. The RLIF has no involvement or interest at all. The RLIF has no headquarters, no staff and as far as I'm aware consists solely of occasional meetings between Richard Lewis (head of the RLEF), the head of the NZRL and the two crooked Australians. They don't even have a website FFS.

.....which points to why RL struggles to be taken seriously as an International sport. It's bad enough that there are subtle differences in rules between domestic and International league and having 2 refs per game in one league and 1 in the other doesn't help either, but surely, from top to tail, the game needs that sorted out before there is any hope of true expansion and growth

Please use quotes in the future when you copy my ideas holus bolus.

Extends to 11 the number of international rugby league sides playing over the last couple of months.

Excellent stuff.

Hopefully Jamaica will perform well and we will see a quality tournament.
