Four Nations League

So, does anyone really care that this is on? I mean, I fluked on Sunday when changing channels because the cricket from India had been washed out (again), and found a replay of the Australia-PNG match. I watch about ten minutes, saw Australia score three tries from errors that kids in Under 10's would have been chastised about, and then moved on to "How I Met Your Mother" repeats on Arena.
I don't even know if the Kiwis played the Poms or not.
It's just a bad time of year to be playing international League - or Rugby for that matter. It's the Spring carnival in horse racing, the premium races are on in the V8 Supercars, the cricket season has begun in earnest... why would they try this now? Even Channel Nine didn't show the game live, though I guess that might change with the big games coming up.
And let's not even start with the Darius Boyd-Lote Tuquiri debate - if Tim Sheens is going to try and convince us there was no favoritism there, then he's just a stooge.
