Some might find this tedious but I'm genuinely interested to know whether there is an appetite out there for a return to GB. Or should we stick with what we've now got now and plough on?

Yes for the Four Nations. However there then needs to be a clear international set up for England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales in a regular basis. So players can represent their nation and if good enough be picked for GB. We might then get some commitment to the various home nations and build strength across the board.

Def bring back GB,used to love seeing the union jack flag getting vigorously waved by many people in the stands,it was something unique,compared to soccer and union.

The tennis guy,who's name escapes me,brought the England concept into RL,could see why he wanted to do that on the back of the other codes,but like I say GBRL was imo unique.

All we need now is for France RL to get up to speed and we could have a true 4N - AUS,NZ,GB,FRANCE.

Both.

England for the 4 Nations & WC, GB as a touring side.

There's a GB Tour in the pipeline for 2019 apparently.

Is there any point when very few players actually hail from/would choose to represent wales/scotland/ireland and there is no professional domestic action in those countries anyway.

The way I see it Ireland will always be there as the country people can qualify for after failing to be called up to GB/Aus.

We had such a strong brand with GB people i speak to who know barely anything about league always seem to mention GB. I know RL chops and changes so much but theres a reason for this...the rfl experiment and it doesn't work.

Too late.

The damage was done in 2007.

The cancer is now terminal.

Watch out for morons blaming the Aussies though.

Bring them back for tours and have one every free year, not four nations or world cup years so next would be 2019 then 2023 and so on.

No. Rugby Union has The Lions because that team is genuinely made up of players from all 4 countries. Great Britain in RL would be the exact same squad that England pick.

I would say play as GB for three years and have just a Tri-Nations (unless France or some other country proves that they can be genuinely competitive) with Australia and NZ (playing each twice, as someone already suggested). Then split into England etc. for the World Cup, just because there is a need to have more teams.

I'm not a big RL fan in the sense that I don't have a club team or watch loads of SL etc., but I like watching competitive international matches between the top three teams. I'm not interested in one sided matches involving deliberately weakened teams or with teams made up of players that qualify on the grandparent rule etc. I'm informed enough about RL to know that Scotland v Australia isn't a contest. It's like watching Brazil v San Marino at football.

What I would watch however is an English Origin type event - Yorkshire v Lancashire or East v West or whatever. If they made that into a proper three match series like the Ql v NSW origin series, I'd definitely make an effort to watch it. Obviously my interest would depend upon it being taken seriously though. I'm not going to bother if it's played in half empty stadiums and RL fans themselves show no interest in the game.

Can see your point as there are not the volume of players seeking money coming out of Wales and the like anymore.

We are a north of England sport,of which we should be hugely proud,yet if any player from another part of these isles wants to make it in our code then we should indeed say okay just because of you we are proud to be Great Britain.

Where as Scotland, Wales and Ireland are made up of genuine Scot's, Welsh and Irish - give me strength. For example Danny McBrough

We were always Great Britain and have been the Lions pretty much as long as the Union mob - added to that there were more genuine Welsh players in the old GB teams than there ever have or ever will be in this sham Wales team.

In a way it's not that you are totally wrong it's the fact that you support the current set up which is very very wrong.

We had an iconic brand and jersey with GB and we just threw it away and now have a soulless England brand and jersey. The only thing for me I don't like since super league, is the lack of proper kangaroo tours and Gb test series. Even the Aussies are no seeing tours as a way forward for international RL 4 nations just seems like a union copy cat. 3 tests and maybe 2 warm up games and a couple of mid week games would be ideal, they obviously want be able to do 12-15 game tours anymore.

Let's go back to the Tri Nations until France can sort it out,I mean how long have Catalans been in SL now,yet no worries for France RL it's just about Perpignan bar owners raking in huge amounts of cash on the back of English fans.
