International row

As usual we've had a controversy about international availability for New Zealand for the Centenary Test in Friday. For me there is no controversy - internationals MUST take preference over domestic football.

Over the last couple of years, Quins have lost both Tommy Leuluai (NZ) and Chris Melling (GB) to long term injury suffered in Tests - its the price of success in a collision sport like ours.

The answer lies within ourselves - lets make a meaningful mid season international / representative season that may build over 20 years to rival State of Origin. With the right marketing we should be able to attract enough sponsorship to reduce Super League fixtures without undermining club finances, allowing a few bye weeks to give rep players some respite.

Maybe we have a Home Internationals tournament - maybe a three game Origin style series - how about Saxons v Celts?
