I cant believe that some people are actually advocating games called 4 / 5 Nations, Autumn Internationals, Barbarians etc.

This game needs to be distancing itself from RU and building it's own identity, not copying everything RU does like a 3yr old nephew and accepting it's place in the pecking order without so much as a 'thank you ever so much Mister Kensington-Smythe'....

Quote: FLAT STANLEY "Here's an idea i've had for ages, to get all Rugby league communities involved. I like the concept of the War of the Roses clashes however its never worked whether its due to the Boundaries being altered i don't know but to get everybody involved here goes.

I propose Cumbria, Humberside, Yorkshire, Lancashire. Round Robin Top 2 play off in a final. Play all fixtures as a double header. ALL Rugby League folk are proud of where they're from, hence this format and it gives exposure to Cumbria for once. I can remember getting hammered in Cumbria at youth level i'm sure they could scratch a decent team. With most clubs full time i'm sure we could fit this concept into our fixture calender and it would draw more crowds than scotland, ireland wales etc. This concept gives around 80 odd players exposure and pride for there origin. To make this concept work you can only play for England by playing in this structure. Obviously NRL players are exempt from this rule.

Do humbersiders like playing for Yorkshhire ?. Do Cumbrians like playing for Lancashire, Yorkshire i doubt it. This concept gives all Rugby League communities a platform to build from.

Examples

Round 1. Cumbria v Yorkshire, - Humberside v Lancashire Either KC or Craven park

Round 2. Cumbria v Humberside, Lancashire v Yorkshire - Carlisle Fc.

Round 3. Humberside v Yorkshire Lancashire v Cumbria - Wigan, Or St Helens

Final Headingley

This is just a rough example, if anyone can think of tweaking it any other way thats great.'"

The fact that you've chosen smallish grounds, ignored the south and put Humberside (a county that has been defunct for nearly 20 years) in addition to Yorkshire (a region that includes most of Humberside) means you haven't really thought this through much.

This is a great idea n terms of getting players ready for stern competition but, I don't know if it could be marketed strongly enough to sell 30/40,000 tickets.

The closest thing that we have as a concept is, either the Exiles or War of the Roses.

The second tier nations (Ireland, Scotland, Wales and France) are just too far away from being competitive and it appears that this I likely to be the case for many years to come.

But did the state of origin get many bums on seats when it first started we have to start some were we can not wait for the rest to catch up can we

I don't think so, and I hope it never does.
