I would like to see the return of a sevens pre-season comp.

Win the GF you get $500k (I think), when compared to that $100k for a pre season comp is ok.

Considering it stated that it would be funded by a third party well im all for it. I am sure the broadcasters would get involved, so hopefully it means then that i get to watch MORE footy and more importantly manly EARLIER.

The larger picture is that the NRL can increase their asking price in the next tv deal.

I reckon it would be good, more league to watch what is wrong with that, but teams would have to play at least 6 or more under 20 players

Why not just make the comp. for players that played majority of their games in the NYC or NSW/QLD cup during the last season?

Future Stars Tournament or something like that.

Haven't read the full article, but does it mention how the WCC side would be involved in the comp

Sounds just like any other pre-season comp to me.  Distracting and prone to injure players.  Silly idea.  Whye don't they ust extend the season so each club players each other twice.
