After all the talk about players going to aus for more money i think we need to make a big change in the way we run our game and the way it is promoted this is the way i would change it.

1) home grown players who are club trained and brought through the junior systems only half there wage will count on the cap. That would really be an incentive to promote from within and clubs should be rewarded for all the hard work time and money they put in these young lads.

2) bring the millenium magic to the northwest the city of manchester stadium can hold around e.g 60,000 over 2 days we could have 100,000 supporters through the gates it would look fantastic on tv,everyone can get to it easier,and it wouldnt cost familys an arm and a leg to get there also give free tickets to schools in manchester to get them interested in the game.

3) bring back the lancashire-yorkshire test series we have far to many good players to cram them into and england side we should let them play a series and pick the best to represent england. I think the exiles is a good idea but im not to botherd seeing aussies play england in a one off

4) bring back the lancashire and yorkshire cups and let the bbc cover or espn the more publicity we get the bigger the game will grow plus it will help to promote players from within as you would use your squad strengh in depth alot more.

5) why do we have to have a hub cap as a trophy it looks like something what st pats under nines would win in other sports they have massive trophys for winning the league and good prize money afterall to be the best team over a season for 27 weeks is a big acheivement and should be seen in higher regard than just get a wheel trim.

6)This is the biggest change i would make get some nrl referees to come over they have so many over there and i think they would benefit from it as we would. Our refs sometimes are awful and the lines men worse also the video referee would not give a try if it is a forward pass the most stupid rule ive ever heard of.

Exactly. It is the angle that the balls travels relative to the players (who are running forward), not relative to the pitch, that governs whether it is a forward pass or not.

That doesn't preclude the point BackrowSaint was making though. On a VR you can still draw a line from the passer to where the catcher was when the pass was started, and if the angle is forward, it's a forward pass. It wouldn't take any longer to do than making a decision about players being offside at a kick for example.

Ahh I see what you're saying so draw a line that moves with the passing player?

That could work actually. I suspect they just cant be bothered to make the software to do so tbh.

Forget the Yorkshire Lancashire Cups/Origin. Exactly the image the game needs to shed.

Reduce the Number of substitutions per game.
I would plump for 8 maximum.

We could try an Islanders side like they have on occasions in RU. That would give you: England, Australia, NZ, France, PNG and The Islanders. We could also maybe put Wales, Scotland and Ireland together to make a Celtic side.
