Newcastle Misses Out On World Cup

BY IAN CROUCH

 There's growing anger over the decision to exclude Hunter Stadium from hosting matches at next year's Rugby League World Cup.

Games will be played across the country including Cairns, Darwin and Perth, however Rugby League heartlands such as Newcastle and Wollongong will miss out.

Organisers say it's because the state government chose not to support the event - Shadow Minister for the Hunter, Kate Washington says the decision is mind boggling.
