So......the RLIF, supposedly set up to Govern the game internationally isn't running this comp....but instead, the European governing body is or is at least contributing to it.....Hmmm...OK.

Yes. The RLIF does nothing other than badly organise the Four Nations when it's held in Australia. I'm not sure if it was involved in last year's Pacific Cup, but I doubt it. Literally all the development work in the northern hemisphere is done by the RLEF. The RLIF has no involvement or interest at all. The RLIF has no headquarters, no staff and as far as I'm aware consists solely of occasional meetings between Richard Lewis (head of the RLEF), the head of the NZRL and the two crooked Australians. They don't even have a website FFS.

.....which points to why RL struggles to be taken seriously as an International sport. It's bad enough that there are subtle differences in rules between domestic and International league and having 2 refs per game in one league and 1 in the other doesn't help either, but surely, from top to tail, the game needs that sorted out before there is any hope of true expansion and growth

Excellent stuff.
Hopefully Jamaica will perform well and we will see a quality tournament.
