<p>Rugby League bosses admitted on Monday the World Club Challenge could be held in Asia in the future.</p><p>Manly became the first Australian winners of the annual global clash of the champions for six years when they beat Leeds Rhinos 28-20 at Elland Road on Sunday.</p><p>The match was held in England for the 10th successive year but there are calls for a neutral venue, including Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong, while Leeds chief executive Gary Hetherington has put forward a proposal to expand the competition.</p><p>Hetherington's plan is for the top three clubs from both Super League and the NRL to contest the event and the Rugby Football League are willing to consider that possibility.</p>

I think moving the game to Asia, South Africa, or other places where expansion might be a go, is a good thing.  Interesting to see this idea coming out of England.

Not in SA - we want our boys to come back
 
Asia - I am still awaiting John Ribots millions of Asians watching league on the pay tv and becoming instant fans. Never will happen - give it to a market that might one day bear fruit!!!
