we have 4

agreed

i know people say we have got a lot going on as it is in a season but to be fair australia have state of origin and city vs country. we could have england v exiles and lancashire vs yorkshire.

also if there was a yorkshire v lancashire what would your team be?

Yorkshire
10 peacock
11 westwood [from yorkshire]
12 L.Patrick
13 Bateman

subs
robinson
hardaker
bailey
burrows

lancashire

tomkins

riley
makinson
goulding
charnley

briers
lomax

morley
roby
mossop
hock
louis mccarthy scarsbrook
mike cooper

LMS is a southerner, surely he would have to just sit and watch or could he claim residency

well half the team is cheshire/merseyside/greater manchester only hock technically from lancashire

Josh Charnley and Chris Tuson are both from Chorley, as is Josh Jones at Saints.

I dont know how to start and reconcile that one.
I suppose that they both start with "L"
It might be safer to call the fixture East vs West (due to the lack of true Lancashire teams), but there would still be plenty of Yorkshire, Yorkshire chants
Having said that, London is on the east side of the country

Makinson aint a centre! And Mike Cooper ahead of Sinfield??

Its a great idea, just like a Tri Nations comp with GB, NZ and Oz, the RFL will never go for it, its far too sensible.

Tomkins was born in Milton Keynes wasnt he?? However the system in Australia is based on who you make your pro debut for rather than where your born. On that basis Sinfield would play for Yorkshire and Mcllorum Lancs not the other way round. Obviously in the past in England it has been done on where you were born not the aussie way, in which case Tomkins should not be allowed to play. However that would defeat the point of the fixture. Based on some common sense and no NRL players i would go with the following teams:

Yorkshire

Eden
Hall Atkins Yeaman Briscoe
McGuire Brough
Crabtree Haughton Peacock
Westwood JJB
Bateman

Burrow, Ablett, Kopczak, Lynch

Lancs

Tomkins
Charnley Goulding Watkins Riley
Lomax Briers
Morley Roby Mossop
Hock O'loughlin
Sinfield

Mcllorum, Prescott, LMS, Blythe

Too many average players playing for my liking in this fixture which is why I prefer the exiles game as it gives the chance for the national side to develop partnerships and improve by playing against the strongest opposition available.

Maybe a West side v East side of super league compete against each other? Its get around the players that aren't in Lancashire and yorkshire!

Tbh I would like to see an home nations competition. We probably have players who are holding out for and England call up but never get a chance. They might be able to play for Wales, Ireland or Scotland and We wouldn't have the farce of having players skipping from one nation to another. England will probably dominate for a while but encouraging players to take a chance of playing international RL for another country they qualify to represent. We could have our very own RL 5 nations with England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland and France.

At the end of the season have a GB team and play a test series against either the Aussies or Kiwis each year!
