I feel like there's a few threads that have touched upon this general theme, so reckon it deserves a dedicated thread (Happy for it be merged if one was made previously). Open to discuss both squad selections. I won't do a full squad just yet, but I reckon there's about 8 in each that are nailed on already, in no particular order: England Welsby Ashton Farnworth Williams Smith Radley Wardle KPP Australia Cleary Carrigan Yeo Crichton Lomax Mitchell Haas* T Trbojevic *If he's still making himself available for Aus when the squads are announced.

Just putting this out here to float an idea I have had. Ahead of next year's Ashes, if I was involved in England RL/GB, I would investigate the possibility of approaching Bevan French to see if he'd be up for playing for England/GB. I am unsure of the exact eligibility criteria, but can remember when Maurie Fa'asavalu was capped by GB after spending 5 years in Britain and thus qualifying under residency. The England cricket team has benefited from selecting overseas players who have spent more than 5 years in England (Pietersen, Stokes, Roy, Hussain, Greig, Caddick etc) With Bevan French joining Wigan in 2019, he has now reached 5 years over here. Surely it's worth asking the question?

Roosters. 4 year deal. Apologies if already discussed. Great move for him.

Thought I'd knock up an idea for a comp at the end of 2024. While tests series can be great I dont think they capitalise on the amount of good quality teams we have in RL at the moment. I know France will be just making up the numbers competitively but they would be much more cost effective than flying over and paying a third SH team. I've suggested ideal locations but id see which cities want to bid to host international sport first and select accordingly. I'd be open to Frances place being taken by FIJI or PNG if people think the comp would still profit England, New Zealand, Samoa, France. Week 1. England v NZ: London France v Samoa: York Week 2. England V Samoa: North East France v New Zealand: Albi/Perpignan/Toulouse Week 3. England v France: Midlands/ South Yorkshire Samoa v New Zealand: Headingly stadium Leeds Week 4 (Final) Etihad stadium Get a competition sponsor and get the games on BBC 1 or C4
