It is just a money making publicity stunt.
Both codes know their strengths and to try and pretend that either on was playing the other game effectively is pure folly.
League players are not equpped to play union and would struggle in line outs, rucking, mauling and as mentioned, scrums would have to be uncontested.
Union frowards cannot play the type of rugby that is played in SL and without the endless stoppages that occur in the 15 a side game, again the forwards would be knackered.
Not to mentioon the 10 metres that we have in league, which doesn't exist in union.
Supporters of both codes think that their game is better (and more skillfull than the other) and there are of course some players that can make the transition but, what the heck does a game like this achieve.

leeds would be much better off doing something to promote our sport. E.g. something along the lines of Melbourne's trip to play the USA in New York.

I don't have a problem with it to be fair. As has been said, if it raises the profile of the game then it's should be given a go.
