That's more to do with their favourite club players getting the representative recognition they think they deserve, in a "my teams players are better than yours" type of way. The actual fixture itself remains meaningless to all and does not stir the imagination and passions of anyone in the game, whether it be players, coaches, or fans... apart from a few of those terminally clueless at RFL HQ.

Indeed they do but they've chosen not to. Hopefully, this will be the very last faux fixture to take place on this scale of abomination.
