Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2448743, member: 1764"] Of course, let's forget that players would get over their little niggling injuries in that 3 weeks off, meaning they'll be fitter and fresher when the competition resumes. Sure, they may take a bit of time to get back into their mojo, but the benefits far outweigh the negatives: - no more bye-affected rounds - no more games with Origin players unavailable - no more games with Origin players backing up after less than 48 hours - less impact of club injuries affecting Origin (bar any that happen before the series starts) - less controversy of club suspensions overriding Origin (bar before the series starts) - the origin squads completely focussed on Origin for the whole series, not having to worry about their clubs. I can see the games being even more intense as a result Honestly, having a 3-week Origin window is an absolute no brainer. It'd also be a great opportunity to have Tests between pacific nations and NZ, or even have Great Britain come out to play NZ (assuming England is happy to have a break in their comp as well, which may be a harder sell).
