Aren’t you guys longing to become part of Lancashire again according to another thread??

State of Origin is often the most watched programme in Australia - full stop. Not just sport, any TV programme. That is why it is 3-games, that is why it is going nowhere. 

I don’t doubt any of that marra. It’s a behemoth that’s slowly killing international RL unfortunately.

Put the NZ Kiwis in. Thats decent expansion of SoO. 

Make state of Origin an annual one game affair and bring back the 3 test trans-Tasman series.

We'll see with Arthur morgue and césar rougé if they get a chance to make an impact or if they'll just be used as squad members to cover injury to english speaking players as Lucas Albert was. 

This. Sad but true.

Haha!! We’re like the kumuls of the U.K. passionate about the game but lacking in structure.

' Should ' ? 

In terms of this and this alone. No standalone teams in the top flight either.

I think ' merged ' sailed long ago , that's why nobody is suggesting it , stand alone club is the only other suggestion , and you still have the same issues 

Ultimately all 3 clubs have the potential to be competitive Championship clubs , competition between the 3 is the way to drive growth IMO

Not many people will like this but west Cumbria should just be a breeding ground for super clubs in terms of playing talent.

Welcome, who is your team, apart from Sunderland?

Hello marra, don’t really have a team to be honest. I was born in whitehaven and used to follow them as a kid but I generally just want to see all teams to do well both on and off the pitch. Have a soft spot for St. Helens too.

Playing for the dragons or should that be not playing for the dragons is a backwards step imo for any young French RL player.

 

better to back yourself like Theo fages and sign for an English super league side or even championship side.

Can’t honestly see a merged Cumbrian team happening. That ship has long since sailed.
