I think what could be beneficial for the International game is to have like a Nations League Concept like they have in football were you have different tiers and have promotion & relegation between the Tiers. Based of this years world cup and last couple of years of internationals I think Tiers could look something like this

Tier 1: England, Australia, New Zealand, Tonga, Samoa & PNG

Tier 2: France, Ireland, Italy, Lebanon & Fiji, Cook Islands.

Tier 3: Wales, Scotland, Jamaica, Greece.

Could even have teams like USA, Malta & Serbia involved in Tier 3.

Who ever finishes bottom in Tier 1 is relegated to Tier 2 & Whoever finishes bottom in Tier 2 is relegated to Tier 3

Who ever finishes top of Tier 2 is promoted too Tier 1 & whoever finishes top of Tier 3 is promoted too Tier 2.

If you did this in-between World Cups I think we'd see the International Rugby League flourish. I'd also have the World Cup every 3/4 years.

Thats a good idea. should submit it to IMG / RFL etc if it's possible.

Not picked again for England

Has wane got an issue with him or does he really think Mike Cooper is a better player?

Who does Mik play for?
And who does Cooper play for?

I think the answer might be in there somewhere Chris.....

Isn’t it Oledkzi? Either way it’s a terrible decision to leave him out

It’s actually Oledzki

My bad!

Re: Oledski : Thu Nov 03, 2022 1:31 pm  

I'm not saying it's the right decision, but maybe Wane sees Oledzki as a starting prop, not an impact prop. He seems to see Burgess and Cooper as impact props.

No, games like these if he were picked would improve him as a player.
