I would have it in Wigan or St Helens for at least one of the test matches. I'm not so sure about having a test at Wembley, even if you get 50-60K the ground will look empty.
I said on the podcast last week how the first test was a positive throwback to the late 80s early 90s. If you get a chance, have a little look at this GB v Aus game at Wembley in 1990. Brill attendance, great atmosphere, passionate players and a bit of biff - everything you need. My opinion on venues is: 1st test in London - Spurs or West Ham. Unfortunately not Wembley (the game has lost the love for Wembley). 2nd test in the Midlands - Brum, Cov or Nottingham. 3rd test in the north - Wigan or maybe Old Trafford. Wherever the games are, the RFL need to make it so that fans want to go i.e. affordable and a proper event.
1st Test Wembley…get it filled with the right marketing and prices!! 2nd Test Everton….like you said it’s a new Stadium and the test series is still alive. 3rd Test Bramall Lane/Hillsborough or imagine a 1-1all test and we fill Odsal again!!
Everton, Newcastle, Tottenham

Thanks RL History. Hope you are well.
Some good suggestions there. Would sack off the Midland though….
1. Headingley/Eland Road
2. Everton - this is a good one.
3. Wembley
As a Aussie would love to see
Everton
London arsenal/tottenham
Old Trafford
Great suggestions, One issue though, that will be giving money to football grounds/clubs and not paying RL clubs to host it at their grounds.
Host it at TWICKENHAM STADIUM in london. It will be good!😊
got to keep it in the RL heartlands and down the M62 - Liverpool, Huddersfield, Hull
Why ?
@@bobbytreetop1701 because that is where the fan base is

Finally!
We cant wait. Its been too long.
The solution is to build a national rugby league stadium at Odsal in Bradford. It could also be used to host rugby union internationals in the north.
Great idea, Not sure the governing body have the money to throw at Odsal though.
@rugbyleagueoutsiders yes unfortunately that is the problem.
Elland Rd.
Old Trafford
Wembley
Those saying no to Everton clearly haven't seen the new stadium.
Wigan Manchester Leeds
Why’s everyone ignoring old Trafford? Iconic rugby league venue. The only thing is maybe go Everton because it’s better for going on the piss
kc stadium
Wembley is too big. London Stadium, would be my pick. I agree with Everton, could be Etihad as well. Has to be Elland Road. Midlands is nonsense.
Sack Everton go1 London 2etihad 3 Elland road it's a dump but it's the right size and a good location
