I'm not sure if its viable given the apparent rivalry between Tonga nd Samoa, but a combined South Sea "Lions" team would be a fearsome apponent for any team.
Regarding the origin vs international selection policies, I'm pretty sure adrian lam played queensland and PNG. I don't see why they couldn't let it happen again. |

Isn't the eligibility rule based on where you first played rugby after turning 16? Maybe I'm way off with that, but I'm sure I read it somewhere.
I think it would benefit everyone (except maybe Australia, therefore it will never happen) if players could represent 'their' state and then represent their nation.

I think 2012 is blank in the International Calender to prepare for the 2013 World Cup so there would be a space then. This might defeat the object of a break before the World Cup though. |

How about we get some Aussie base SL players playing for England?That should make things interesting.
They should make a rule that any Australian player playing in SL for over 2 years could represent England.

In principle I like the idea. The only issue I'd foresee is what motivation the players in this team would have, given that they wouldn't really be representing anyone or anything, and would have been assembled basically as a novelty.
Mind you, it works in RU. If we could get the games to be played with some intensity (which we've never managed with Lancs v Yorks) then the fans would take to it. |

the motivation is to play rep RL again.....all aussies know that by coming to super league they are'nt going to get picked for australia or origin again...the kiwis don't pick any SL kiwis for the anzac test...and any samoans/tongans/fijians etc would just be greatful for a meaningful test match...
and if all that does'nt motivate them...bloody pay em'...give em' a win bonus or something |
