It's mot too long ago we got 50,000 at Old Trafford against the Aussies and 60,000 plus at Wembley.

Maybe the RFL should use the Wigan marketing team.

We got 70k on more than one occasion at Wembley against OZ and 50+k against NZ under Mo's leadership but these days we'd rather gloat about selling out a 25k stadium like the JJB or KC!!!!!!!!!

It was the same for the semi's !!!

10/15 years ago they'd go to Maine Road and Burnden and then JJB and get 15k+ soemthime 25k but now theyre happy to sell out Widnes & HJ at 12k !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mo was ridiculed for not filling Wembley yet he got 50+ k againsit NZ!!!!!!!!!!!

Rugby Union has the Heineken Cup European competition.
It has the Six Nations
It has International tours on a regular basis.

All things that we don't and things that can influence a young player. That is one of the reasons I can never understand a lot of RL fans (from all clubs) putting club Rugby before International Rugby.

We should not be losing the likes of Chris Aston and Lee Smith to Union. The Saints Chief Exec made a very good point on Radio Manchester a couple of weeks ago regarding the salary cap.

He was insistent that there should be a minimum spend on the cap as well as a maximum so that players like Smith and Ashton stayed in the game. he was also of the same opinion as I am regarding the International game.

The greatest (arguably) team on earth in your own back yard and you can't be bothered. Pathetic.

It is little wonder why we have so little international support when we have fans like that IMO.
