Given the success of the NRL allstars V Indiginous XIII in Australia, is it time to have are own "allstars match" as a curtain raiser between say an English/British XIII versus a World XIII. The world XIII would likely be made up of the best of the European and import players in SL. />
I really think the RFL should look into something like this, while it wouldnt have the same feeling as Indiginous players playing for their people, it would still be a great spectacle |

That allstars game was awesome and I'd advise anyone to watch it if you can. Invites available for a place you can get if anyone wants it (PM me). Sailors last game and a noisy full house with the Australian Prime minister on the panel at half time. You think Gordon Brown would sit between Stevo and Eddie? He'd lose the election hands down. I'd vote for him though.

I like the idea of an All stars game. Maybe it's time for a fresh idea to replace the magic weekend with.

What about doing it in a format of only 2 players per team can be selected (1 for the foreigners and 1 for the English) from the 14 teams with the remaining 6 spots filled on a wildcard selection basis perhaps.
This would help keep the game competative, ensure that no team suffers more than others through loss of players. It could also be played mid season meaning that the other 200 plus regular SL Players get a break, there could perhaps also be some kind of agreement from clubs that the players that partake in the game sit out the following weeks fixture. />
The only 2 possible drawbacks that I can see would be that it a) extends an already long season by a week and b) would there be enough quality only using 2 players per team? |

The All Stars team was selected by fans voting for their team's reps, plus the Aus and NZ captains as automatic selections. The reason this game worked was because the fans got into it and it really meant something to the Indigenous side. I hope they keep it going.

Quote ="gnidir"I think theres something to this, but id like to see a European Superstars vs ROW Superstars (all players from superleague) in the same format as the allstars game, where the fans can pick the squads, it would be a good way to drum up interest for fans pre season, and it could coincide with the Superleague season launch, maybe playing in a host city to expand the game, or as a pre cursor to the world club challenge. />
I think the idea of a european team is something which would enable the best players to play in a team which other wise would never happen. />
It would let the likes of Pat Richards play for Europe, and the best french talent. />
I think it could also add gravity to players opting to play for less established nations whilst still being able to compete in a top level rep game.'" />
i like the idea of the game coinciding with the season launch. at the minute it just seems to pass by in meaningless fashion.
