Yorkshire vs Everyone else.

They think they're so good, time for the rest of us to prove they aren't.

I can see thousands of English supporters flocking to a ritual flogging of a dire Scotland side. And I bet the supporters of an Irish team full of half rate and semi professional players will be mad for a trip to Wales.

No, really.

Face facts, Rugby League is doing its best building on its strengths, the best players in the competition. This evenings game reflects that.

I find it staggering some people live in a fantasy world where they genuinely think a 5 nation format would be competitive, entertaining or financially viable.

Include everyone for a 3 game cup
Based on where you're born.

Rangi Chase would then play for the Exiles again BUT doesn't remove his eligability for England as it's 3 teams just based on where you are born.

A player born in say Germany but lived in England most of their life although he may have an English passport speak with a Yorkshire accent and not know a word of German would still have to play for the Exiles, but again still eligable for England.

Is that your way of getting Tomkins to play for the Easts?

What a complete load of rubbish. You must have spent 5 minutes writing that, and I wasted 30 seconds reading it. Do you genuinely believe that is a good idea? Incredible.

I've been here long enough to not give a s--- what you think

MK is in Bucks.

How did Ireland get on this afternoon?

Get a sponsor for the competition.
4 teams, each named after a Sponsor.
4 coaches, 1 for each team.

Each coach picks a 23 man squad, 1 team after the other, school playground style. Any player in Super League is eligible, regardless of nationality & birthplace.

Each team plays the other once in a league format, split over 3 dates, with weekend games played as double headers. No final, just a league structure.

Yep. All those fans that can't be d to turn up to support England will definitely pay to see Coca-Cola Athletic take on Tesco RLFC. Genius.

This is a brilliant thread. Do people really believe in the tosh that they type?

I'm bored & sleep deprived, but it's still a better idea than putting Sinfield at Standoff for England.
