Utterly insane. What earthly purpose does this serve? Time for a vote of no confidence in the RFL

How exactly is this a ground-breaking initiative? I would understand if it was in the US or somewhere that there is scope for RL to grow. Can't see the benefit personally

Trips out for the boys here (not implying Hull or Wigan fan and officials but others) complete madness.

Would have been better for the Wolfpack if it was in Toronto

I see no point to this game being in Aus. I get the idea of expanding the game, but to do it in a country where rugby league is already one of the main sports is pointless. Toronto would have been a better shout as suggested, or maybe some developing european nations.

Also, whose home game will it be classified as? because one team will lose out on some wonga for this as theyll have one less home game.

They're not gonna get permission to hold a WrestleMania event outside the US
