Should the RFL whilst trying to sort out what to do with the league over the next few years, seriously think about bringing back a meaningful rep game for our top players. We all know it really be passionate and a great step up for our top players whilst be a great game for selectors and coaches of the England set up and not forgetting the revenue for the RFL and TV rights

Win Win Win for me???

The RFL have tried twive in the past to resurrect this game unfortunately the clubs and players failed to take it seriously

Brilliant idea. Can't think why it's not been tried before.

It's called Leeds v Wigan.

When was the last time it was tried 20 years ago ??

Not been tried since the introduction of super league as far as can remember

Early 2000's it was tried again. And Failed.



The RFL should have stood by the concept 25 years ago and it may have blossomed into something big but i cant see it ever working now which is a shame.

Quote FarsleySteve="FarsleySteve"Wrong. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_Leag ... _the_Roses'" I'd suggest there is still some interest there. I think it would be much better supported than the Exiles match and would certainly gain support and interest if advertised and supported in the right manner. Give it a go.

Find a sponsor to drum up a cash prize of £250,000

Prize money gets shared equally between the 17 winning players, 15k each, losers get nothing.

That should add some spice, I'd certainly go!

Good Call great idea

Haven't the NRL recently announced that there will be big money on offer for winning State of Origin series and for Winning in Australia's colours? I also recall reading something about a reduced numbers tournament to be held in NZ where there was big money on offer....



Money talks, whichever language you speak......

Sure.

Maybe while they magic up £250k for a game which attracts 5,000 fans they can find a sponsor for Super League too?



Surely France cannot be too far away from competing with England for a mid-season Test. They're producing more and more SL-standard talent all the time.
