Quote: Horatio Yed "England, Exiles, Celtic nations and France.'"

England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, France, with GB competing at the end of the year.

SL funding cut, and payment made for clubs to release players for the home nations, the more players you have playing for them, the more money you get. It becomes in your best interests for a player to be playing international RL and a player like Carvell or Brough doesnt need to switch to England to play against the tier 1 nations because we would play as GB.

if its like Australia where "Origin" means the location of the team you made your senior debut for then we may aswell just call it "Merseyside and Greater manchester v Leeds"

Reduce SL to either 12 or 10 teams preferably 10, have P&R make the championship 14 teams, have a playoff league of top 5 clubs at the end of regular rounds play each other once with top club playing all home games and bottom of the 5 all away, top 2 in GF. bottom 5 playoff the grand loser goes into promotion/relegation match with winner of championship. THEN AND ONLY THEN would i support a 5 nations icon_smile.gif

Slash the O/S quota, good/rep players are always going to be in the top league, it means teams will be saturated with better quality players which means more intense games meaning a higher standard of rugby.

How would reducing the number of overseas players in SL magically make the British players that come in to replace them better quality than they are now?

I didn't say it would 'magically' do that but it does mean putting more faith in guys and giving them more game time, which MIGHT improve them. Reducing the quota may mean only getting in real quality too.

But it would still lose us lots of players.

I see a lot of people are omittiing Cumbria from their 'grand plans' yet again.

Quite ironic considering out of the 3 counties Cumbria is the only area still with a sense of identity.

Is Cumbria not in West England?

Correct but why would Cumbria want to be associated with Lancashire or Greater Manchester? Much the same as Yorkshire wouldn't want to be 'lumped in' with anyone else.

The resurrection of the County Champ may be a worthwhile experiment, even if it only included non SL players.

What's the worse that could happen? It could even be played throughout the season on one of the many spare weekends and include Wales and France in a 5 nationsesque competition.
