Representative & NRL football

We all have an option when state of origin should be played & if it should be stand alone weeks.My idea is to have 2 pools in the NRL where you play each team in your pool twice & the teams in the other pool once.Pool A or regional pool teamsBrisbaneNorth QueenslandGold CoastCanberraSt George IllawarraNew ZealandMelbourneNewcastlePool B or metro pool teamsParramattaPenrithWests tigersCanterburySydney roostersSouth sydneyManlyCronullaThere will be 22 rounds of NRL footy with no byes as there will be a break for 3 weeks of representative footy mid season.State of origin to be played either Friday or Saturday nights best out of 3 games.Then on the Sunday afternoon best out of 3 games will be New Zealand national team vs a combined pacific island team all players from the NRL.These games can be played 1 in NZ 1 in Perth & the other could be played in any other regional area like Darwin, Central coast, Adelaide or in the bush.

  • It should be stand alone with NO NRL games on the weekend, just rep games.

    For eg

    Friday night have City Vs Country

    Sat night under 20 Origin and State of Origin

    Sunday have City vs Country

    Can also have teams like Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, NZ playing that weekend also.

  • My Idea is we have 26 rounds of state of origin NSW vs QLD with 2 byes. Then mid season Parramatta play 3 game against the Bulldogs to see who wins the series. 

  • Major flaw is whilst parra only have to travel an hour for 66% of there games, pool b will have to travel up to 6 hours for some of there games, I.e. Canberra, Melbourne and New Zealand, so that's hardly fair

"It's quite disappointing how Penisini has panned out.
He should of been a world class centre by now, and I honestly thought he would of been when he 1st came onto the scene.
I do hope Ryles can get him there but not sure if a change of club is what…"
