NZRL chief executive Phil Holden is determined to get the 2016 Anzac test played in his side of the Tasman Sea.

New Zealand Rugby League is prepared to play hard ball over hosting the 2016 Anzac test.

The annual fixture between the Kiwis and Kangaroos will be held in Australia for the 14th time on Sunday after Friday night's match in Brisbane was postponed due to torrential rain flooding the Suncorp Stadium pitch. New Zealand have hosted it just twice.

The NZRL went all out to have the 2015 test played in Auckland, using the argument that in the year of the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings it would be fitting to have it in New Zealand and share some Anzac spirit.

The Australian Rugby League Commission rejected that notion and told the NZRL the test would have to be on their side of the Tasman.

But after getting burned last time, the NZRL are going all out to get it next year.

New Zealand and Australian league officials meet in Brisbane on Saturday and the suggestion has been made of telling the ARLC that if the Anzac test won't be played in New Zealand in 2016, then it won't be played anywhere.

"We've had conversations along those lines," NZRL chief executive Phil Holden said.

"It's very difficult for us in how we play that, but certainly we've made it clear that it's time for us and we want that game, end of story.

"It's really important to us, otherwise, it will be another two years before the team plays at home and we just can't afford that.

"So in Saturday's meeting that will be one of the conversations."

There is Four Nations tournament in England at the end of next year, so if the Anzac test isn't in Auckland in 2016, it will be five years without the Kiwis playing in their biggest market.

The NZRL will also be telling newly appointed Rugby League International Federation chief executive David Collier in meetings this weekend that they want to have more fixtures for the Kiwis each year.

"The international game is the lifeblood of our organisation, we want to play every year," Holden said.

"We want to play at home more and we want some formalised structure around what that looks like, because then we can commercialise all of the elements around that.

"It's very hard to generate commercial momentum when the team is playing at home once every two or three years.

"That's a real issue for us and it's something we want to get resolved as quickly as we can."

An opening for more tests could be if the ARLC went for a stand alone State of Origin window.

That would allow NRL players from other nations to play test footy at this time. It's something that has been discussed by the ARLC and if it happens it would be a breakthrough for the international game, allowing the Kiwis to play against Pacific Island nations and even England or France if the Super League has a break at a similar time.

"That could be massive and we've articulated that view to the Commission," Holden said.

"There is real benefit for their domestic game in Australia by doing that and also benefit for us.

"If that was an option, we'd like to be involved in at least the conversation around that.

"The flip side is that you build it into the collective bargaining agreement, which will flow out of the new broadcast deal, so that our players are available to play representative football for New Zealand when State of Origin is on and that could be utopia."
