Thank you for your contribution.

We already play too many games.   We bring in rules to restrict players' time on the field and then increase the number of league games we play.  We don't need more games and especially not for the best players.

It was quite good having the Challenge Cup, Premiership,John Player Trophy,Yorkshire Cup and Lancashire Cup all on the BBC.

Bit rich coming from someone proposing an eight team regional championship.

For the fans, yes.

For the players, no.

In today's world, impossible.

What’s that got to do with me calling you out for what you were being?

I'd award the county cup for Yorkshire and Lancashire to the clubs that finish highest in the regular season from those areas.

We had the Lancashire and Yorkshire leagues for that.

But managed to beat the Aussies.

Who were also part time and played at a much lower intensity.

Slightly off topic, but are the Aussies missing a trick by playing their State of Origin on a Wednesday instead of a Saturday?

Would they not have a better chance of getting a global audience if they moved it?

I just looked up the dates, but it's 1105am on three Wednesdays, so I didn't bother adding it to my calendar. Whereas I would definitely watch it if it was on a Saturday.

I'm sure they have their own reasons, but I wonder if in future they'll consider playing it at the weekend.

The reasons will be so that players can 'choose' to rejoin and play for thier clubs at the weekend ....and also to allow weekend NRL to continue?

The sooner they move it to three consecutive Saturdays the better. Which would give the rest of us an international window.
