I think there is a place for both England and GB. England for 4 Nations & World Cup, GB for Ashes & Kiwi tours.
I'd like to see something along the lines of:
Year 1 - 5 Nations down under (Eng, Aus, NZ, PNG & other Southern Hemisphere team)
Year 2 - Aus v GB tour here
Year 3 - 5 Nations here (Eng, Aus, NZ, Wales & France)
Year 4 - World Cup
Year 5 - 5 Nations down under
Year 6 - GB v Aus tour down under
Year 7 - 5 Nations here
Year 8 - World Cup
Plus an annual mid-season Home Nations comp of Eng, Fra, Wales, Scotland & Ireland here, and a mid-season Comp down under of Aus, NZ, PNG, Fiji.
I know the domestic season would be affected, but clubs will just have to survive without a few of their top players for a couple of games a season.

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg |

[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow]

Best RL news for many years.
Lets hope that our starting 13 aren't all playing their club rugby down under by 2015 though !!!!!

Start our season in September, end it in May, have GB tour down under in our summer and let the tourists come here October and November. Schedule 3 tests and let them play the top 8 SL clubs and a NL combination side as well.
Winter RL is better anyway.

“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif |

2 tests, but we'll need 3 for the ashes right?

the Kick & Clap World cup runs from September 18th to October 31st, so while our Playoffs/Grand Final is on. Still time to time to fit a GB tour in during November, and SKY will probably want something to bring the viewers back after all the attention is on ITV's home World Cup.

| Quote: UllFC "they need England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland to 'bulk' the world cup up.
i'd be happy with a set up where we continue with England for World Cups and 4 Nations, but come together as GB for proper tours with games against club sides, Queensland/NSW etc as part of the tours.'"
Bulking up the World Cup is an awful reason to maintain a segmented and weakened national side. Why not bulk it up by making Australia play as NSW and Qld? It has as much validity. |

No it doesn't. NSW and Qld were never independent nations and haven't been recognised as such by a major sporting body. England, Scotland, Wales & Ireland were and have been. |
