And as much as I want to help England because it will help globalize the game and will give the NRL a parallel competition and will bring back the World Club Challenge into a competitive spirit that it used to be, I would rather Tonga and Samoa become the main focus for the NRL.
speaker_6UNKNOWN
And there's a lot of work to be done in Tonga and Samoa.
speaker_6UNKNOWN
There's not a lot of money in those countries.

I don't think they lived up really to the expectations that people had for them and the hype after winning all four trophies.
JillPANELIST
Clearly, the World Club Challenge was the highlight of their season and everyone thought they would just go on and continue that great form.
JillPANELIST

They were on such a high after the previous season.
GregHOST
They were on such a high going into the World Club Challenge, and that kind of saw them through.
GregHOST
They blew the Broncos away early doors, and If that game had gone five, ten minutes longer, they might well have lost that game.
