JBs suggested it .... make him work it out  ;D

Ok everyone vs colli and whatlex :P

That sounds reasonable :) between the two of us we might be able to field a solid side  :-X

I have done a draw using Manchester and Liverpool as the border for north.  Grope Lane is not a town in its own right but a number of towns have this as a street so for balancing have included in North.

North
Bradford
Crosby
Hebden Bridge
Huddersfield
Leeds
Liverpool
Manchester
Newcastle
Grope Lane

South
Bilston
Birmingham
Hastings
Oxford
Nottingham
Staines
Swansea
Swindon
Winchester

Bring on the North South Rivalry

[Spinking]

I like it!  Judging by that list, I'm sure we all know the North will be superior - all the gun coaches and players hail from that way :D

Seriously it does look very even.  Premiership favorites Birmingham down south but some quality performers in the North squad.


Reckon the highest ranking coach from each side of the border coaches the rep team, the coaches vote on it, or we get some externals?

Are you sure Nottingham is in the South Ringo? It's actually further north than Liverpool...?

See, already teams are trying to get into the North...

Its like those NZ rugby league players, who have never lived in QLD but just want to be part of the magic...  ;)

Go North!

Not according to this map - Liverpool is to the North West of Nottingham.  Sorry Fletch.

sounds fair, the leading coach in each of the north and the south can captain, just name a cut off round for him/her to be appointed and away we go...

cant have it run by committee be too messy and time consuming getting agreement on the team to name for the clash?

unless you had all the coaches from each of the north and south make a part of the starting team.

1 - mids
2- fwds
3-def
4-ruck
5-utilities
6- captain
7- emergencies
8- ? vice captain - bit of a nothing contribution
9- ? ? ?

Nah just one coach whoever is highest ranked or has most points scored come 2 weeks before the rep match?

yeah i agree as i said it will be VERY hard to co-ordinate otherwise.

Ok, so two more delistings for me, Lower and Roberton.....  *sigh* That's now 12, practically 1/3rd of my list!! :'(

[elephants]

We have escaped very unscathed.

One retirement (Stiller) and one delistment (Harvey). Gillies found a home at the Dees luckily enough!

[Ringo]

De listings updated on page 11 to reflect latest de-listings including McPhee retirement.

Didn't realise Grope Lane wasn't an actual place/town... lol

PB and I took it off 100 rudest place names in the UK list.
