Rugby
What would you do to boost the profile of Rugby League as a truly global sport?
Here we are, some ten months after the last Rugby League World Cup. It’s apparently been forgotten now as everybody is concerned with their domestic competitions and club allegiances. What we as followers of the game learn from the tournament was the same story as in previous decades: the order of rugby league playing nations will continue to feature the Big Three (Australia, New Zealand and England). If you were a member of rugby league’s world governing, what would you suggest as practical areas to make the game global and competitive?
mate…good question, certainly we have the best sports package in Australia, and the big 3 (kangs, Kiwi, Lions) do hold their own. But I think RL has to be smart. They should start introducing the game in Countries that have a big union following. I’m sure when they see a different brand of Rugby, that’s tough, fast & exciting it would only be a matter of time.
Like anything, it will cost a lot of money, but I think if the 3 big competition, plus the French combine their financial arsenal together and start venturing into countries like Japan, South Africa & even Russia, Italy (and not forgetting US), you can build the game from the financial interest in those markets.
But that’s just a thought from a die-hard RL punter! I think the RL is a far better package than Union, in respect to entertainment, but RL world body has to think out of the box and spend money to make money…at the end of the day, we have to be realistic, you cant invest without getting some viable returns.
