Surely a group of RL fans dicussing the codes world rankings is a fairly harmless way to past the time. Some of the team are a bit dodgy but the code is played internationally by more than just expats.
Expats no doubt plant a seed but there will alway be locals who are attracted to the game and from the small seeds who knows what can grow.
However it may undermine the credibilty of the rankings to have teams represented that don't at least have a home league, although having said that I wonder how much the Sydney Lebenese community have influenced the formation of the code there?
Exciting times I say and let the knockers have theirs(although Gmans arguments hold no water at all when you look at the world ranknigs of any minor sport or cricket for that matter eg Holland, Kenya etc).
