I'd love to see this re-introduced with the top eight sides from each competition pooled into four divisions and played in the pre-season similar to the NAB Cup in the AFL.
Split the teams up and send half the NRL sides to the U.K. and half the ESL sides to Australia and send the games to regional Australia and you'd get massive interest in every game.
The teams that missed out on the finals the previous year play trials against each other in regional locations with no prize money on offer. Would be a great incentive to play for on top of making the finals each year.
I'd love to see Bradford v Melbourne, St Helens v North Qld, Warriors v Leeds etc as a pre-cursor to the NRL and IMO, you'd get great tv ratings and excellent prize money to make the concept worth while.
