JAC is the most marketable player in the game by a huge margin. We are blessed to have him in our colours. Fox in a firing bulldogs team will give us (and the league) a huge profile, not just in rugby league spaces.
IMO if Freddy picks fox the blues win. He is a class player but also the heart and soul of the blues. Freddy is a flop

It's probably Papenhuyzen although JAC has kept building his brand since he's moved to Sydney

I like that.. Would have made the whole tournament a lot more competitive and interesting. I think they used a similar format a few years ago with the best teams in one group. Don't know why they went away from it

Probably all about getting all the ‘good’ teams into the finals..setting up more competitive finals at the cost of competitive qualification games..

Under that format Freakzilla listed though, the best 4 teams still all probably make the finals. To be honest, teams like Jamaica shouldn't be there in the first place.

Yeah under the draw I made it would probably play out like this:

Group A:

Australia
New Zealand
England
Tonga

Group B:

Samoa
Papua New Guinea
Fiji
Cook Islands

Group C:

Lebanon
France
Italy
Greece

Group D:

Ireland
Wales
Scotland
Jamaica

Second Round:

Game 1 = Tonga vs Ireland
Game 2 = Cook Islands vs Lebanon

Quater-Finals:

Australia
vs Lebanon
Papua New Guinea vs England
Samoa vs Tonga
New Zealand
vs Fiji

Australia vs England
Tonga vs New Zealand

Australia vs New Zealand

So you would get the close group games & the better teams would still contest the Finals.

They should be playing a b series world cup or something similar, but even that's not the right solution either. Hard one..

The saying ‘Let’s Trot’ is insanely popular everywhere. Like my mates say it when we organize shit and everyone is in or someone offers to buy a round. Personally think JAC is a more marketable player. JAC also has teamed up with rappers and made songs and he has hanged out with Hasbulla lol.

Agree. JAC has a bigger personality than Paps.
