I'd be quite happy with this although see no reason to ditch the magic weekend although I'd guess the NRL teams would only release the likes of Graham, Burgess and Cooper for the test matches but I'd live with this to see it happen.

The problem would be / is getting the Aussies to buy into it, and I don't know how we solve that. I've spent so much time and a fortune on beer discussing it. However if a "normal" fan like me can see what needs to be done (and yes there are problems / issues) why oh why can't the likes of Nigel Wood see it. Oh for a Maurice Lindsay.

I love this game, and am one of the lucky ones who have seen us beat the Aussies in a series. Before I go to that great Central Park in the sky I want to see us do it at least one more time.

Even better get the Kangaroos to tour over here.

They would hang draw and quarter our SL teams but imagine the attraction of having the Kangaroos, even their 'midweek' team, playing in our stadiums.

I would pay handsomely for the privilege of watching the Green and Gold stick 50 points past Warrington at the HJ.

It's easily done every four years the season ends earlier to allow the touring team to have warm up games before a three test series, playing a combined team first up from those not involved in the play offs with the first test two weeks after the GF
