You reminded me a lot there about the good old Lion Red Cup days.
I remember when the Warriors came into it, you'd have blokes like Hitro Okesene, Stacey Jones, Joe Vagana, Nigel Vagana, Willie Swann, Duanne Mann, Syd Eru and Tony Tatupu going around. When the Warriors were born they had their reserve grade team in the competition. It was a very good standard of competition, I think that competition would match what the NSWRL is, as long as you streamline it to say a 6 team competition.
The thing you'd need to make it successful is TV rights worth a bit of dough, to start then building up corporate support.
