International RL isn't a great product. Why is there a comp every year? It should be Four Nations every four years, World Cup every four years. Then we can expand our core product, the club game.

I can understand where you are coming from but we have to have International RL.
It just needs to be treated more seriously by the RLIF and better marketed.

The funny thing is how they all say:-

"I can switch to the [apparently global game of]* union and live in anonymity..."

BBC Radio 5 has already started their pre-match chat. Matt Dawson acknowledged that Twickenham has been like a morgue over the past twop years as a result of England's dire 'rugby'. Can't help but think that the make up of the crowd doesn't exactly help the atmosphere either.
I'll go 7 minutes before the the first rendition of swing low starts.

The presenter has just announced that Shontayne Hape once played for the 'All Blacks rugby league side'.

We stopped calling them the Professional All Blacks a while back now. lol

Of course, since we adopted Kiwis in 1939, union has tried to pinch it for the NZ national rugby union army team.

Original & rugby union - don't mix well...
