Corey Parker has warned rugby league may struggle to keep Reece Walsh, fearing the global nature of rugby union could one day appeal to the Brisbane superstar.
International Rugby League boss Troy Grant has ruled out any changes to eligibility rules, adamant the current setup has helped put the global game in its best ever state.
Australia need one more win against England to retain the Ashes, Tonga needs a big win over New Zealand to make the final of Pacific Championship, while the Jillaroos face the Kiwi Ferns in a massive weekend of international rugby league.
The Kangaroos started their Ashes tour of England with a resounding 26-6 victory at Wembley Stadium, but it was hardly an advertisement for fast-flowing rugby league.
Two of rugby league's biggest stars team up for the first time ever when the Kangaroos face England early Sunday morning (AEDT), and they are going to be nearly impossible to stop.
With Australia heading to England to battle for the Ashes, the rest of the Pacific nations are left to contest an enthralling Pacific Championship.
