While I share your concerns, the RFL faces a dilemma in that no other ---- wants us.
Think I've seen something about their stadium management types turning it down.
The venue choices for this competition are very disappointing. This isn't how we should be following up the first world cup in eight years IMO.
What should we be doing - having a game at Wembley!!
All those crying out for Eastlands get real Manchester is the epicentre of chavball in the north - holding RL games other than the GF in London is just plain stupid.
Australia v NZ would attract a much bigger crowd if played at Headingley than it will at the Stoop but there is a case for a game in London.
I would be amazed if any of the games sell out - so those wanting bigger stadiums are just wanting the game to be seen with half empty stadiums.
Don't forget one thing when these games take place we will be in the grip of the toughest recession anyone on here will have experienced.
I agree with Gareth I would not give Whelan the time of day never mind the biggest game of the whole series
