Are they really necessary?

Couldn't they have separate club and international seasons? This would somewhat eliminate the club v country row as players would not be being called away mid-season, international teams would get more continuity as they would be playing/training together regularly for a set period, less caps would be handed out willy nilly to sub-standard players and it would leave us to enjoy uninterrupted club footy.

Barely 2 weeks into the long awaited new season and we are forced to sit out a weekend for qualifiers, could they not maybe have been played prior to the season or something.

Obviously the drawbacks would include not all domestic seasons coinciding, players complaining about lack of time off etc. I haven't fully thought this through really, on the whole I have been influenced a lot by the fact I HATE internationals with a passion.
