Leeds played Salford for 2 reasons
A pre season warm up and to raise awareness of the sport in a country that doesn't play the sport to any great degree
Do we need a SoO game over here to raise awareness of the sport ? No
Would it fill Wembley ? No
Would it fill the JJB or Galpharm ? possibly
Will it happen ? considering how much moaning you lot do about travelling over here , No chance
Would I go to watch it ? No

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

OK, so the jist of it is you want 2 sides mainly made up of players from a team who failed in the WC to come and play a showcase game in front of a big crowd?
Er, our last 2 GF's have been just that, and they weren't 5-drives-and-a-kick fests either.
So, if you don't mind the ego blow, we'll pass thanks.
You've stolen my washing From out my back garden You've tarmacked my driveway Even though I said no You've nicked my lead flashing And weighed it in at the scrappy Oh St Helen's tatters Come rob me again

some just get a bit upset that origin is the best that RL can be and that internationals dont come close.
i just cant work out how AFL can get 20,000 and then people say there would be minimal interest for origin.
ill bet the people bagging it dont watch it
Correct I dont watch any aussie RL , I dont watch live SL rugby ,so I wouldn't pay to watch SoO

because its the best RL youll ever watch
They might well watch it in the pub on the TV but doubt they would pay to watch it live
This is what we have all been telling you , british sports fans are very club loyal and tend to have little interest in watching as a neutral
Yes the Challenge Cup is well supported by neutral fans but more so as a weekend away rather than just the game
