From the article "Smith wants an end-of-season showdown in which three countries would be represented by sides from eight cities."
So does that mean that if Hull and Hull KR both finish in the top 4, do they toss a coin to see who goes in

They keep coming with schemes which means more and more games for the top teams and top players.
Whilst the lesser teams with players who are much less likely to have players representing GB play far fewer games which don't increase.
Salford and Widnes will play maybe 28 games this year.
Batley maybe 24.
Leeds and Warrington maybe 35.
They then are considering maybe another 7 games for Leeds and Warrington none for the other ''lesser'' teams and they will then be surprised and hold an enquiry when we tank again internationally when our top players don't perform to expectations.
