Aye, perhaps. If the only game Hull got (because surely Hull will get one game) was the Cook Islands vs Fiji, (maybe because Duffen didn't want a game or, or the big England games went to Wigan, Leeds/Huddersfield and London), I think CP would be suitable despite, or in terms of capacity because, it is inferior to some alternatives.

Tbh, having just estimated the number of games there will be and considering the Celtic nations and France might play some or all games at home, CP isn't a obvious choice - unless Duffen is in an anti-RL mood.

Leigh and Widnes - on top of the good Stadia in SL will be more than sufficient.

Who knows??

I doubt the attendance would be very high for such a game anyway, no matter where they play. Unless of course, the millions and millions of rovers fans wanted to prove a point :wink:






Motto of the week -

It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.

Rovers know the stadium is not upto scratch yet hence plans for development.

There is only a handful of stadiums suitable.

Yorkshire based:
KC
Headingley
Galpharm

Lancs:

Warrington
Wigan

No doubt final for O/T
Catalans might ask for french games and Celtic games rattle around the millennium.


All to big for group games that include smaller nations.
The grounds I think will be used are

Eastish
Donny's Keepmoat.
Westish.
Leighs Sports Village.
