The NRL are in discussion to shut down the league for 3 weeks for a dedicated SOO tournament. This is ideal for creating an international 3 week 6 nations on both sides of the world.
England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France and Italy.
New Zealand, PNG, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and Cook Islands.

5 venues triple headed with all SL and NRL based players available for selection for their countries.

It's a dream, a very doable easy dream, but something I'd really look forward to ergo won't ever happen.

Forgive my ignorance, but how can you do a 6 nations in 3 weeks?

Ok just say Saturday was the first of the month, you could realistically play to Sunday the 23rd of same month.

5 games all triple headed means only needing to find 5 days in those 23 days.

Saturday 1st game 1
4day
Wednesday 5th game 2
4day
Sunday 9th game 3
6days
Saturday 15th game 4
7 days
Saturday 22nd game 5

Triple head keeps costs down, crowds up and makes it a day out, the only problem is the Wednesday fixture, 3 games on a school night is difficult. So that could be split to indivdual fixtures, or a double head and a single fixture in France (France v Italy).

It's very doable

Game 1 DW
Game 2 Wrexham (England v Scotland, Wales v Ireland) Perpignan (France v Italy)
Game 3 Hull
Game 4 Cardiff FC
Game 5 Hudds

Italy, Scotland and Ireland get games when the sport has grown in their respective countries. Just an idea on venues but gives an outlook.

Debbie did Dallas in 90 mins. 6 nations in 3 weeks should be a breeze...

The bigger loss is Briers. A young and fresh player at the prime of his career who was wanted by union and the top clubs in the NRL and was regarded as the best rugby league player in the northern hemisphere. Tomkins is a once good player who was now past his prime. I think I've got that the right way round anyway.

So we've established from this thread so far that Wire fans think Briers and Wigan fans think Sam.

Wigan fans are sick for being glad to see the back of a rivals best player, whilst Wire fans being glad to see the back of Sam are justified because he went for money.

So to sum up, nothings changed in the Wigan v Wire d!ck measuring contest.

Apart from we have both got smaller ones than we did with those players still here.
