waste of time are international mid-season matches, just another reason to complain about the national team when they lose

Decent idea and would be a good game but as usual with the RFL... Too rushed! No time to Market / think out the plan so will struggle.

If announced at the start of the season would be much better IMO.

The fans aiding selection is used down under for their 'all stars' game and seems to work alright.

Sorry to say, but most other sports don't put League in a high enough regard for it to become a laughing stock.

ATEOTD the French and the home nations don't provide a strong enough challenge for the England,GB team to prepare to play the Aussies, Kiwis , so if this achieves what is required then fine

Then you have to look at what the French and home nations need to build , playing the England 2 nd team ( Knights ) will not achieve that , a Championship select of English players should play the home nations and France over the course of the season , it would provide good competition and something for Championship players to aspire to

Bang on the money, if there is one thing the RFL can't do, it's promote the game. Which is a bit of a shame given that is surely one of their core jobs?
