Why is it that the WCC series seems always to be played in the UK when its pouring with rain or freezing cold and played on quagmire pitches when the games could be played in Australia? Wigan are the only team to play a WCC games in Australia in recent memory or why not play the games in the summer at neutral venues.

In an ideal world I would want the WCS to be played 2 weeks after the GF, alternating hemispheres. That way the teams competing still have the same squads. As it is though it makes more sense to have it in the UK because the NRL hasn't started yet. It's much more of a disruption for SL teams with fixture clashes etc than it is for NRL teams, particularly if it involves 3 teams from each league.

Play it in Dubai....................that would be fun
