[quote="Saddened":15kig0eg]Pat Richards is poop. A typical, average, run of the mill NRL outside back. Nothing special at all. Like Barrett he is a myth. He is solid enough, he can catch, he can kick goals.[/quote:15kig0eg]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7958.jpg |

We also need to "service" France to ensure they have continuous International rugby, but I would place them against an Under 23's side.
Sadly though we need to reduce the players games so it could only be possible IF the clubs were happy to release players and still play SL rounds like they do for Origin in Australia but that would decimate those games so that would be pointless, the only other option is to cut the number of teams in SL to 10/12.'"
Why would we have to reduce the number of teams to 10/12, abit extreme. Scrap the magic weekend and then were only 2 games ahead of the Aussies, who back up after every origin and no one complains over there, so why cant the Superleague guys do the same? The games would be pointless at all and would decimate those games. |

Peacock says we should give this a go as well.
Maybe some of the top brass will listen to the England captain?

What harm would giving it a go do? If the RFL backed it and said for the next 5 years this is what we are doing and we are gonna throw our marketing teams at it and make sure the clubs release their players as well.

it doesn't just have to be a rest of the world team it could include english players who've been overlooked but the 'rest of the world' team coach may like the look of them. They would have a point to prove against their opposite number.
the stumbling block would be getting teams to release their 'stars'. leeds could have to release Webb, Eastwood, Lauititi, Peacock, Buderus, Sinfield, Mcguire. Thats quite a lot of players to risk an injury to. |

I didn’t even think about the English players who haven’t been selected! Obviously the more quality players that are eligible the stronger the comp will be.
In regards to making it ok with the clubs I’m sure something could be worked out. |

I've always liked the idea of playing a "rest of SL" side - it would be a much sterner test than France, and a much better preparation for games against NZ & OZ - and I think it would be better supported.
Have it instead of the Magic weekend and there's no issue with taking players away from their club game.
I'd definitely pay to watch us play a side something like this:
Webb
Roberts
King
Gidley
Richards
Kearney
Sammut
Ferriol
Buderus
Carlaw
Lauititi
Manu
Menzies
