We'd probably get more biff and fan base to a Yorkshire v Lancashire match but again that's leaving out any players from other parts and going back a step to the M62 tag which is what they are trying to expand from.

I don't think we can pick the England side. It would be interesting to see what side would be chosen, though. I wonder if people like Tomkins would be selected by the majority of voters or if he would miss out on a place due to peoples hate for him.

I'd just like the England team to be selected on form, with players playing in their correct positions. I don't care how many games Sinfield has played at 6 for Leeds, he is a loose forward as the commentary team said along with Farrell and Sculthorpe we have been doing this unsuccessfully for years (decades).

I understand we had the set back with Brough but we could have drafted in Kevin Brown who has been playing on form this season. I am not saying Myler isn't a good player but I do not think he is international standard. He is a running 7 not a creative 7, that to me was why the whole team did not look organised and the kicking game was seriously lacking, Myler has only got 5 try assists in 13 games so for a 7 you have to ask yourself is Myler any more dangerous than Rob Burrow who too is not a creative 7 but I'd say a more scary prospect due to his running style.

Maybe our players from down under would have made a difference but I honestly can't see them being enough to mount a serious challenge at the end of the year. I would like this to be a 3 game series maybe mirroring the State of Origin with mid-week night matches, Hull, Leeds and Wigan as venues.

I really like the concept and hope it continues, much better than the France game but the Knights should probably have played France before this match.
