For any game to be considered an international, it must contain a certain number of Domestic Registered Players from a nation (50% would be great). And I still believe the Grandparent rule needs to go away. It is way too loose, and allows, and then encourages, use of players who have literally done nothing for the domestic growth of RL, other than putting their hand up when a chance at a world cup spot comes around. This coming world cup, there will be some players representing nations that have actually never set foot in.

Agree with the grandparent rule needing to go.
The domestic player quota could only work if it meant domestically produced not registered. It would also only work if each nation had thriving youth programs.

We only have 2 full pro comps. The best players play full time, so they need to play abroad.

The USA can't have 50% domestic produced players until there is youth activity across the nation, where an 18 year old who has played RL for a couple of years and been signed to an NRL or SL club.

I gotta agree about the names with any International side, if they haven't got a RL comp up and running, they should only use the Nations name with Invitational "Mexico-Japan-Whomever" in front of it until times change where there is a Federation in said country.

Love the work all these guys are doing, and I hope to see proper domestic comps in place in the next few years :)
