It would make HOUSEHOLD names out of RL players.
It would give MASSIVE opprtunities for RL clubs to market there teams ( eg come and see Olympic Gold medal winner Sam Tomkins at Wigan etc).
It would showcase the Skill level of RL.
And probably a dozen more reasons i could think off but as you do not want to use your brain why should i do it for you.'"
That's the spirit!

With Shaun Edwards as Head Coach?
Roby would be a revelation at 7's I reckon. I'd be tempted to chuck Penny in there just for his pace.
Can big Eorl run though?

When it comes to Rugby League, my glass is always half full but I'm sorry, I don't see it working out like that
If England/SL players played in the Olympic 7's it would be MASSIVE publicity for Rugby Union not League and it would make household names of our star players who would then be offered multi million pound contracts to continue that exposure for Union clubs
As far as I see it - the best way to showcase the talents of Rugby League players is by them playing Rugby League not a completely different sport
Oh, and just because my opinion differs from yours doesn't mean to say I haven't actually used my brain to consider it - your post would have been far more gracious without the last sentence (but I'm learning that is the norm around here)

| Could you imagine the furore if it actually happened.
All you would get would be the likes of John Inverdale slagging the RL players off at every opportunity.
But saying that you would get the wonderful Claire Balding absolutely frothing at the mouth.

| Quick question... apologies if its already been answered.
What makes you think a side with British RL players would fare any better than a side with British RU players?

| Players like Pat Richards, Sam Tomkins, Liam Farrell, Ryan Hall, Rob Burrow, Kyle Eastmond and Danny McGuire would tear the sevens scene appart.
GB would easily win!
Aus would have an amazing team if they used Inglis, Hayne, Hodges, Thurston, Slater and Folau.

| I watched a bit of the 7's yesterday its nothing like Rugby Union. One guy passed it in his own 22 and then other guy than ran and took a couple of players on.
Even the phases are played quicker more like the time of a league play of the ball.

| Come on Baz, did you see what Bradford did in the RU 7's at 'HQ'? They played Saints (i think) 12 hours earlier andf their bus broke down, then they won without trying.

| why would we want RL players playing RU? and do you really think the ERU would pick them? We should be introducing RL 9's back into the calendar then in a few years be campaigning for it to be in the C'wealth games.
