i agree. there should be a game in lancashire and yorkshire. Then a final match either in cumbria or birmingham.

could even have it at old trafford. The fact the final game would be at old trafford would pull in a bigger rowd than osdal or jjb could hold. sure it wouldnt be full but you can garantee 30-40,000 would turn up.

i agree the aussies are having 3 origin matches to are 1 we are not as good as the aussies so we should have 3 origin matches to make sure we pick the best possible gb squad we can so we have a better chance later in the season

the state of origin in australier is one of the biggest things on the calendar there.
Its what the players who wont make international grade aim for.
And they have a proper series each year which i think we should do.Could morley not come over and play in it though??
theres only 1 team in wigan

Work 1 day a weeK!? you obviously have no idea what a pro rugby player goes through and the physical demands playing has on your body! We are playing too many matches already with clubs playing each other 3 times and if we look at state of origin in Oz these players are excused from club comittments and miss several games. In simple terms this cannot happen over here as clubs dont have the strength in depth. My solution would be for each game to play each other twice, a 3 series Yorks v Lancs game and in preperation for the Ozzies with a G.B. vs Domestic based Overseas team, Paul, Smith, Korkidas, Dallas etc.
