WTF are you on about?

Everyone has said they would like to see an Origin game here, but the truth is it isn't ever going to happen. That's realistic not negative.

I would like to see Origin games played in Perth and Adelaide, along with Melbourne on a rotational basis to spread the game beyone League's heartland in Australia. Positive enough for you champ?

Would love to see it. However would like to see more international/county games.

Especially if it resulted in strong home nations.

its just sour grapes from some of the neg mis sods in england . you could use origin . too pump up more fans . get war of the roses back . play 2 games at the same venue . like wembley . when the fans see the brutal warfare like SOO they will go crazy for it . all the players will want too play at wembley on this day . pump them up aswell . if its done right it could turn out too be 1 of the greatest rugby league days of the year .if we could get 2 games played at wembley . same day . the fans would go crazy . tooheys blues cockroaches vs xxxx maroon canetoads

The Lancashire V Yorkshire game was a bit of a farce, a few years ago John Monie used to pull all the Wigan players out of the team to save injuries and the same would happen in today's game.

forget lancs v yorks what about really trying to push a league equivalent of 6 nations...probably at the moment it'd have to be 4 (england, france, wales) but i think it could be a top competition especially once celtic have developed (hopefully) like catalans did and scotland may come into it too

would be an ideal breeding ground for success in end of season 4-nations comp against aus & nz for england and france by providing the players with a step up in intensity and a real goal for players during the early start of the season

play each other home and away, that provides 4 games each, scrap the extra round of superleague at murrayfield or wherever
