Agree with Observer, Lancs/Yorks games have a place, similar to City Country in Australia. They can have HN games as well.
RL in GB shouldn't be ashamed of its Northern roots and try to pretend to be something it isn't ("European" Super League for example).
I think they should have been promoted and organised a lot differently - "the Origin game" was a ridiculous concept I think of the disastrous and inept McCallum administration. It should be the County Championship and promoted as something important and historical that has been played since even before 1895. I would also bring back the Yorkshire and Lancashire Cups as pre-season comps.
