Did anyone read League Express today Where Hudge proposed a combined Hull team to play the Aussies Or N.Z?

Any thoughts?

no thanks. Just a money making scheme for Hudge. We already get complaints that the players are playing too many games as it is.

its a good idea the only reason he is interested though is to make a few quid. So id rather not.

Oh and the guys a knob

No thanks - a pointless game. Similar to the pointless one that cost Preckie his career

I am obviously in the minority then when I say I would quite like to see it. Would rather play one of them just as Hull FC though, the game against New Zealand in the last game at the Boulevard would rank as one of my best nights supporting Hull.

agree with the first 3 posters, hudge would only be doing this if there was any chance of making some money from the game, so no thanks, we don't need it, we already have the england game vs overseas this season

i think it could be a good idea..with kr sending juniors over to oz next year, there desperate for funds....we could do likewise and send our youngsters over to oz aswell with the funds generated from this game......
id say 24k watching a combined team vs the kangaroos would. A. give both clubs alot of cash B.stand both clubs in good stead regards foreign relations. c.give the kids a real oppotunity to play some real quality opposition at such an important part of there development with the funds generated.

I like the idea....i also think it's the future, we should merge.

wouldnt go that far, but one night only would be fine....

No thanks.

We are 2 separate teams, just because we are in the same city doesn't mean we have to come together for a pointless game.

Agreed

i think it could be a really good oppotunity for the city and both clubs....surely the advantages are greater than the negatives...

The story was also picked up by The Yorkshire Post

Can't say I'm keen.

"Also, currently, the only players who are likely to feature for the international side from East Yorkshire are Hull FC winger Tom Briscoe and possibly Rovers counterpart [size=150Peter Fox[/size."

jesus, no wonder we cant beat the aussies...

We'd get far more value if we sent young coaches, rather than players across to Oz.

Just look at the total successes that were Tansey & Thorman, if you need to see the results of sending young players out there

Not for me but I see Allams stuck in the middle

If it were such a good ide, United and City would have already combined to play Brazil/Spain.

like they need the cash...... that would never ever happen....city and united would be chaos....

No chance, waste of time.

I have an idea!!!

They can play them 1st half and we'll play them 2nd.

I hear the gallows being knocked together.......That is the most 'orrible thought. It would be like breeding a thoroughbred (Hull FC) with a three legged donkey (KR) and then putting your life savings on it against an Audi RS6 up-hill on tarmac.
Anymore comments like that Mr Swedehead.....and i'll gladly pull the trap-handle!!!!

no thanks, i would say lets push to play them as hull fc but could you imagine the outcome of a hull v australia game, embarrasing to say the least. i seem to remember a combine hull team playing papua new guinea at the boulevard in about 91-92ish i think

If it's promoted properly and will raise substantial funds then it has to be looked at.

not for me,would not fill caravan park never mind KC

Hull and Rovers would b chaos. I can't STAND all this nicey nicey friendly rivalry horse that gets spouted about.
