Pros:
Obviously brings money into the economy during and after the event
A greater focus on the sport in Australia
We are currently as high in the world rankings as we have ever been, and a world cup bid will be a sign of our confidence for the future of the sport here
Cons:
The cost involved to have an adequate amount of stadiums with the minimum capacity (which we currently don't)
Do we deserve it with just one quarter final position being our best result?
The possibility of interrupting the NRL and maybe the AFL season
Should Kevin Rudd focus on other things?
What do we think?
