Representative Idea

[fourxman]

As Australia have been so dominant in the international representative games i thought a good idea maybe to have a representative game between the NRL and English Super League each season as well. So the best of our 16 clubs versus the best of there 12 teams.

This means players like Sonny Bill, Asotasi and Benji could have the opportunity to possibly represent the NRL with the Gasniers, Masons, Thurstons and co.

And could play against some of the stars in England including the Kiwis and Aussies that are over there.

And by no means am i suggesting that we get rid of the Tri Series, Test Matches we currently have.

I might get crap for even suggesting this but i thought it might be an interesting idea.

diabolically stupid idea

It's not the dumbest idea I ever heard of.

In fact if they played 1 in Australia, 1 in England and a decider if needed in some cool place like Hong Kong, I think it could work.

the only way the international game will ever gain momentum is for Aussie to play by the rules...

forget your left field ideas, the systems are in place,, lets use them as they were intended.

This idea has been posted on another forum.

Someone came up with the name "Best of NRL V Best of NRL 5 years ago"

There would be about 3 Pommy players with the rest of them being former NRL players.

And what rules have Australia broken?

[Chook Norris]

don't mind the idea

would be interesting imo

but 1 game only

 

[Non Terminator]

The only thing you would see is a bunch of former-Aussies and what sort of form they are in now. But still, not much difference from World Club Challenge, wouldn't mind it being brought down here for once.

great idea!

 

[NK Arsenal]

no thanks

 

[nadera78]

Sounds like something dennis fitzgerald would come up with. We barely have space in the schedule for internationals, why clog it up with crap like this?

LOL.


Seriously, it would be interesting - for how long though Im not sure, buts its novel.

we need to put all our focus into the international game, not meaningless games like this!

I think the english side would win because they take all our best players, look at the world club challenge results.
