[QUOTE="William18, post: 640551, member: 38439"] I agree with you that representative football is too disruptive during the season and should be left until after the season finishes. I don't agree that international rugby league is more competitive than origin. Since 2005 we have a 4 win, 1 draw, 20 loss record against Australia. This gives us just a 16% winning record over the past 10 years. All time we have a 29 wins from 123 games at a percentage of 23.6%. We are no better now than we ever have been. It's just that our wins have come in important games. SoO has the opposite appearance. It seems uncompetitive because Queensland has won 8 series in a row but that isn't the case. NSW have actually won 7 of the last 24 origin games giving them a 29% win rate. Only 10 of those 24 games were decided by a margin of 10 points or more while 17 of New Zealand's matches against Australia have been decided by 10 points or more. I also enjoy the current 4 Nations set up. The good thing with the 4 Nations is that it allows you to have two games a weekend rather than 1 under the tri nations format. I think the Pacific and European Cups which should occur yearly will be given more weight by fans and players if they know it is qualification event. [/QUOTE]
