James Graham is calling on rugby league officials to keep this year's World Cup in England intact, warning even postponing it could have dire implications

18 May 2021

Graham claims after the revolution of Pacific rugby league at the 2017 World Cup, the game risks stagnating if this year's tournament doesn't go ahead.

He adds it shouldn't be crossed off so quickly.
