agree, i would bring back the county cups as a pre season thing, getting rid of the friendlies and having some silverware on offer in their place makes sense to me

Still wouldn't go to Cardiff in February

This sounds a realy good idea- but is surely the same principle as the england v france friendly just it wouldnt be all the catalans team! Id prob go to this game anyway would be a great game prob!

i think the MM weekend needs to be later in the year. Rugby league needs to be expanded outside of the heartland to encourage more fans to get involved with RL.
i personally feel that haveing the grand final in Manchester is the right thing. the biggest day in the RL calender where it belongs. The challenge cup belongs in wembley, its the best stadium in the country. But surely its fair to give cardiff or edinburgh a chance to exhibit RL at its best.
