We'd get bloody murdered though!!

It's had it's day IMO. It was tried again and folk didn't get behind it.

If both front rows had erupted and had a 5 minute brawl with fisticuffs galore then it might have created some talking points and folk left itching for the next match.

Instead it was a half hearted damp squib of an event.

Or to have an equally arbitrary construct, why not have two teams made-up of those who's last names begin from A-M, and N-Z, and call it "A-Z Origin!", and have it sponsored by Heinz Alphabetti Spaghetti.

So do New South Wales but that doesn't stop them!

Might stop 8 of your players being picked like in the exiles game, then bombing an easy point you lost at odsal

Easts versus Wests for me as well, club orientated with 2 overseas guest players on each side. Lancashire versus Yorkshire is old hat, east origin v west origin means two decent sides, majority from Huddersfield/Leeds/Bradford against majority from wigan/Warrington/St Helens.

It's better than the international origin, the crowd get involved and the crowds were very good last time it ran even without the RFL using all its marketing budget on one game

Bradford

Think us 'Hullies' might be able to contribute a few too!

Welham and Yeaman are the joint leading scorers this year. Dobson would be a shoe in for me at 7. Briscoe, O'Meely and Manu from the FC squad, possibly Newton from Rovers.

Maybe we should do Hull Vs the rest (it's the stock Hull mentality anyway!)

Does Brough not exist?

He does, but, and I'm Hull Fc fan, Dobson is a better 7.

He'd have to decide which side to play for first.

or maybe an equally arbitrary construct of a team of 'some' players who are English against a team of players who are NZ, Australian, Tongan, and Samoan.

It's never been all that popular and probably never will. If there was a Roses match this year it wouldn't have got the attendance that the international origin game did.
