Leicester Tigers vs Leeds Rhinos

It could happen!!

Reading the Leicester Mercury website, both parties have started talk's on a single one off hybrid game. They would use League rules in the team's own half then Union's rules in the attacking half.

What do you guys think?

Did they not do something like this in the Southern Hemisphere before and would they not be better using a hybrid code or different rules each half?

Those rules just... don't work. League and Union are so different, I cannot see how the breakdown is going to work when Union rules are in play. Basically, if Leicester get the ball into Leeds' half, they are going to get infinite possession

Sounds dodgey to me. If they want a game then organise a 7s or 10s game. Otherwise it will just be chaotic as LT says.

it's been done a few times before. Bath vs Wigan in 1996 and Sale vs St Helens (score being 41 - 39)

As much as I love both codes these exhibition matches achieve/prove nothing.
