The odd thing is i think if the RFL actually went with a UK Origin system and placed a big emphasis on it, it would be really successful.

The Rugby League World Cup begins on Saturday.
I read a letter in the Rugby League Express asking all rugby league supporters to put England car flags on their cars.
The letter was from someone from Warrington and I believe we can get all rugby league supporters to join forces and fly the flag.
So lets all show support for our game and get your flags out for the lads (or girls)

but the 'opening ceremony' is next day on the sunday. another amateurish decision by the organisers.

Its just not that important to SL players imo. Its all about the GF and the CC final and then International rugby, Roses matches are just something to get out of to avoid getting injured or the chance to have a rest. Sadly I doubt we will have something to rival SOO.

I have organised a ceremony (with the consent of the WC organisers) to celebrate the opening of the world cup, feel free to come.

It's on Thursday night at Goole Working Mens Club. Guest speakers include Malcolm Kennedy, (world cup winner in 1926) Chico Jackson and comedian Neil Hudgell. We're quite short on raffle prizes, so if you could bring a bottle of wine, toy, something like that, that'd be great. All proceeds will go towards a kit for the Scottish national team.
