The biggest question isn't who wins...it's who does Greg Inglis play for?

Is Hunter Sports High counted as country?

 

[PARRA_FAN]

He's from NSW Country NOT QLD Country, so if he qualifies for QLD when he played for Wavell State High, he would play for City.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

NSW country should name him for the LOLs.

 

[Valheru]

Wouldn't work, the whole state should be considered country.

 

[muzby]

QLD country vs NSW city.


Actually, the next cash cow the NRL could try and milk would be a 4 way comp with city and country teams from NSW and QLD all playing each other over a 4 week period..

 

[Captain Apollo]

Qld City?! Do Queenslanders actually know what a city is?

 

[East Coast Tiger]

So Sawtell is now in Qld too?

Well it is north of Bowraville I guess.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

And I'm not sure Sunshine Coast should be called city either. Even Ipswich and the Gold Coast is pushing it because they have always had their own comps outside Brisbane.

I like the idea

Re-add NSW City v Country

It would be part of 4 weekend in season rep series

Where SOO I II III are in the 3 other weekends

I would allow SA VIC and TAS to represent NSW Country

And WA and NT to represent QLD Country

So that all states have a pathway

How is Nambour city and Townsville country?

 

[SBD82]

How is Nambour city and Townsville country?

If it ran same as nsw city vs country it makes sense.

Newcastle and Wollongong are considered "country". Basically just means not the capital city.

 

[user_nat]

If they want to include the Gold and Sunshine Coasts in with Brisbane, they may as well do North v South.

I'd actually watch seq and darling Downs vs central and fnq

 

[SBD82]

Sounds good.

Do it through the future daylight savings line.

in no way is the Sunshine Coast part of Brisbane

 

[SBD82]

in no way is the Sunshine Coast part of Brisbane

Agreed. Which might be the biggest reason this will never happen.

It would effectively be broncos and the good ones they let go minus the ones they stole from the country, versus the rest of qld. The geography of nsw makes it work, don't think qlds would.

 

[TheVelourFog]

the only way I could see it would be SEQ vs The Rest

play into that mentality which exists already

 

[DiegoNT]

So Sawtell is now in Qld too?

Well it is north of Bowraville I guess.

Nhulunbuy is part of queensland to apparently

 

[Danish]

if we plot the locations of various players' hometowns that had to move to Brisbane to battle home sickness, then use them as a boundary line, technically most of Australia and the South Pacific would be QLD city

 

[Walpole]

I don't like it. Now there's two Queensland teams who can beat NSW.
