Never heard anything of it before S/L show..............daft idea...could finish 3rd and be crowned champs....barmy.

One 400+ seat jumbo, then they could bring some fans too!

Happens in the Champions League all the time.

I know mate and thats wrong as well...i mean Chelsea could have won it but wasnt champs...totally wrong....and Man utd won it in 99 as runners up.

The World Club Champions would still be the winner of the 1st v 1st match.

I think if it was done well it could be a good competition.

Say on Saturday have NRL 1st v SL 2nd. Then on Sunday SL 1st v NRL 2nd. With a Grand Final the following Saturday.

See what you mean but think it would dilute it a bit.

I don't think there is room in the busy fixture schedule to have a more than one game tournament, so they'll have to stick with GF winner vs GF winner.

However, I don't see the harm in an Intercontinental Cup as another trophy for the CC winners and minor premiers of the NRL.
So we could have had St Helens vs Melbourne as well this weekend.

Have the losing finalists of the CC play the minor premiers in a warm-up game the week before ala Quins (so we'd get to play Storm) and the losing GFists to play a warm-up game against the NRLGF winners (if that team is already involved, then the next team along in the POs, so Wigan).

That's 4 SL clubs that get to play against 4 NRL sides. The more exposure our teams can get against these sides the better our standards may get.

i would love too see this happen
