LMS is a southerner, surely he would have to just sit and watch or could he claim residency

Josh Charnley and Chris Tuson are both from Chorley, as is Josh Jones at Saints.

London was part of the Lancashire RL, so following tradition London players would qualify for Lancashire under an origin type system.

 I dont know how to start and reconcile that one.
I suppose that they both start with "L"
It might be safer to call the fixture East vs West (due to the lack of true Lancashire teams), but there would still be plenty of Yorkshire, Yorkshire chants
Having said that, London is on the east side of the country

And all of them fall at least in part within the County Palatine of Lancaster (I think pretty much all of Merseyside and Greater Manchester, and part of Cheshire).

| Its a great idea, just like a Tri Nations comp with GB, NZ and Oz, the RFL will never go for it, its far too sensible.

| Tomkins was born in Milton Keynes wasnt he?? However the system in Australia is based on who you make your pro debut for rather than where your born. On that basis Sinfield would play for Yorkshire and Mcllorum Lancs not the other way round. Obviously in the past in England it has been done on where you were born not the aussie way, in which case Tomkins should not be allowed to play. However that would defeat the point of the fixture. Based on some common sense and no NRL players i would go with the following teams:
Yorkshire
Eden
Hall Atkins Yeaman Briscoe
McGuire Brough
Crabtree Haughton Peacock
Westwood JJB
Bateman
Burrow, Ablett, Kopczak, Lynch
Lancs
Tomkins
Charnley Goulding Watkins Riley
Lomax Briers
Morley Roby Mossop
Hock O'loughlin
Sinfield
Mcllorum, Prescott, LMS, Blythe
Too many average players playing for my liking in this fixture which is why I prefer the exiles game as it gives the chance for the national side to develop partnerships and improve by playing against the strongest opposition available.

| Maybe a West side v East side of super league compete against each other? Its get around the players that aren't in Lancashire and yorkshire!
Tbh I would like to see an home nations competition. We probably have players who are holding out for and England call up but never get a chance. They might be able to play for Wales, Ireland or Scotland and We wouldn't have the farce of having players skipping from one nation to another. England will probably dominate for a while but encouraging players to take a chance of playing international RL for another country they qualify to represent. We could have our very own RL 5 nations with England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland and France.
At the end of the season have a GB team and play a test series against either the Aussies or Kiwis each year!

Shame you're not proud of them though
TBH, as nice an idea as an English SOO game would be, we don't have the player pool to make it a worthwhile proposition.
The current England vs Exiles games should be expanded to a 3 game series because I think that IT is the best way to improve the national team by giving them an actual game rather than a practice session against France which, let's be honest, is all those mid-season internationals were.
A home nation competition would be good but again the lack of players for nations beyond England is weak unless we allow Aussies and Kiwi's in under grandparent rules in order to provide a competitive competition.
