I believe there needs to be at least a few Non-English players for it to be credible, Ben Flower and Regan Grace from Wales are the first two players I can think of, there is also Huddersfields young Irishman Ronan Michael but I'd be surprised to see him called up due to his inexperience.

Are there any decent Scottish players who could get a call up?

It's not right much of a tour is it? 3 weeks, 4 games, a 2 match Test Series?
Should at least be playing the Warriors. Maori, and some regional rep sides.

Can never get anything right the RFL.

Quote: bramleyrhino "At the end of the day, it's just branding. I really don't see the need to get caught up in how many Welsh, Scottish and Irish passports we can find in a grandparent's drawer to justify the GB tag.

It's a GB tour, 'GB' is a name that the RFL believes is more recognisable to the Aussies (who will be buying most of the tickets given that GB is predominantly a touring side) and other than the most dyed-in-the-wool supporters on RLFANS, does anyone really care whether that are enough players to recreate a "walks into a bar" joke?'"


What utter garbage.
3 games in NZ and 1 in PNG what on earth has it got to do with Ozzies and why would they buy more tickets than NZ, Tongan and PNG fans.

Yet another poster making things up to push their own agenda.
This forum is getting worse for people talking rubbish

Unless you are going to go down the route of full central contracts and/or shorten the regular season both here and down under, how many games would you like the players to play.
You would have to expect that a good number of the GB side would come from the sides competing in the play offs so, having played maybe 30 games for their club, you want them to play what, another 8 or 10 games ??? just so it can be a "full tour".
When you really boil this down, it's just England playing NZ again, all wrapped up in different paper, with a bow on it.

The only way to have any kind of full tour would be to stage it mid season and have say, a maximum of 3 players from any one domestic side and then pack them off down under for 5/6 weeks and play the mid week club games and tests weekend.
However, this would massively impact on the domestic season both here and down under and right now, I just dont think there is an appetite for it over there.
Most of the UK fans would love the chance to see our club sides take on a touring side bur, I think that boat may well have sailed.

I'm not pushing any sort of agenda. OK, for the sake of accuracy, let's replace 'Aussies' with 'antipodeans'. Happy now?

Longer term, wouldn't you expect a GB side to play the Kangaroos?

Has anyone enquired on a package tour with Glory Days or CST yet?

EDIT: Don't need that info now. Flights are booked. Bring it on!
