Two byes is much better than three imo (for fantasy sports-wise). Season goes a few weeks longer. Representative-style game... Mooted to be either the return of State of Origin, or else an NFL-style All-Star game... Defs interesting. Which makes me wonder, what do we really want? SoO or, All-Star game?
Closed poll ftl But obv SoO, but only if they cared. If its purely for the recognition and then they trot out their and try not to get injured, play All-Star and don't make a mockery of SoO.
All-Star game wouldn't work imo. Nothing to play for and would be a waste of time. A gimmick. SoO only if they do it right and give it 100%, and that includes players/teams/organisers. No point doing it if you're gonna do it half-arsed.
I wouldn't bother if it was played as a pre-season curtain raiser to the season. All stars game is better for that sort of thing as it's just a marketing gimmick. Have a proper Origin mid- or post-season or don't bother with it IMO.
AFL shouldn't do State of Origin it's really a rugby league thing. They should do the format similar to the NFL. However, because there isn't division's / conferences etc make it players from Western teams vs Eastern teams
