I think the RFL made a mistake in separating the GB into England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Lets be honest, the game is played professionally in England and one club in Wales.
Why go to those lengths and create 4 sides out of one, and in effect making 4 weaker sides play against the strong sides of Australia and NZ?
If RL ever expands to those 4 nations it seems stupid to have a Scottish and Irish side.
I loved the Test Series that the GB side played against the Aussies, but a team called England does not have the same kudos about it.

| Quote: FearTheVee "Goulding has impressed me greatly this season, far more so than Hall, so I'm happy to have him in the side and all the best to him.
What a turnaround in fortunes for the lad - a nice "keep working and don't give up" story.'"
He's certainly not let anyone down at Wigan and I do think it shows that you don't need a 'marquee' winger to score a hat full of tries. |

I hope so.
1st try, worth a £2 - a Sam Break, Lockers Pass and Goulding finishes.
A try made in Wigan.  |

| Quote: Pat's big right boot "Best thing about internationals is seeing the spectacle that is Aus V NZ. Never a dull game. Or any Aus game for that matter, its like the best of queensland and Nsw, come together. Awesome team, great to watch ![]()
In many ways this is the problem in a nutshell for Great Britain. We simply don't have a rival on our doorsteps that we can have a meaningful rivalry with. The attempts to get the France team to be this have failed as any kind of spectacle and we only play the Aussies or Kiwis now as part of larger tournaments hence no specific rivalry for fans to get their teeth into.
At club level the entire spectacle of the game is built on just such rivalries hence it flourishes.
Best thing that we could do for international rugby league would be to sell it to a terrestrial TV channel with a view to creating a competitor for the six nations. Games at weekend, in the afternoon at a ground that we can fill...

Maybe they could do that with a Magic style weekend of internationals over three days.
