Some ridiculous statements aimed at Hull here, absolute mecca for RL some of the best supporters about. And if attendances are seen to be a diisapointment, perhaps some other club's fans should get of their ar5es and book tickets.

It's England our national side, not points scoring against rival club's. I'll be there, and looking forward to it.

I will definitely be there and plan to take a few mates currently at Hull uni for what will be their first League game. The England v NZ game in 2011 was fantastic, anyone who chose not to go for daft reasons missed out on a brilliant evening.

Priced up for the games I fancy. Now just have to wait for what sort of squad McNamara goes for.

Who needs enemies!

We all know McNamara is a bafoon but this World Cup needs every single rugby league fans backing. The game over here is crying out for something positive to happen and if it can't call on its own people it's time to call it quits. I'd go if McNamara picked an under 12's team.

Get behind it.

I'll be attending as many games as possible. It'll be special to witness truly world class players and real stars of the game in action during the RLWC, particularly given that the SL competition fails to provide any such players of note.

Don't give a stuff about McNamara and even less so of the England brand.

Can you quantify 'something positive to happen'? In light of what?

It is calling to it's own people. Is everyone supposed to just blindly follow the call? Am I supposed to spend money without knowing who is being picked for England?

I'd say it was perfectly reasonable for a customer to know what they were getting before parting with their money.

What about matches not involving England?

The incentive for england to win there group is to avoid a tricky semi final against more than likely New Zealand.

The incentive for Wales to win there group is to avoid going out the comp and the reward for winning there group is a quarter final with Australia or England.

Hahaha

During the 2008 World Cup down under, I was browsing in a famous RL store in Parramatta a couple of hours prior to the Ireland V Samoa game kicking off. A bus load of England fans turned up to the store. The owner of the store offered these England fans free tickets for the Ireland V Samoa game at Parramatta Stadium if they spent just $10. Most of them spent way over $10 but turned down the free tickets. I asked several of those fans why they weren't going to the game that evening and the response was... it's not England and it's not part of our official England itinerary tour.

Yep... rugby league is chocka full of fans just like that.
