origin is the best RL on the planet.

why not showcase the best the game can offer to fans that arent converted, with a flow on to the local RL team?

we played an origin in melbourne and because of that the storms crowds rose straight after by 3000 fans and have stayed loyal.

its a way of promoting RL by using your best games to do it

If that SPARC report is to believed the NZRL prefer to play Kiwi games in Aiustralia because the revenue is much larger. I can't see the ARL willing to lose money, which is what they'd do if they played a game in NZ.

it would depend on the finances of a bid.

melbourne origin is in a much smaller stadium thatn sydney, as are your games at suncorp.

the series still does well.

auckland blues stadium is where id host it

i agree . lets have a north vs south island aswell :wink:

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

taking a game to another australian state and taking it to another country are 2 very different things dally.
as for the island of origin, are there enough players from the south island to raise a good team?

melbourne arent part of the origin concept

but they have an nrl team

nz arent part of the origin concept

but they have an nrl team

its exactly the same concept.

its used to grow RL in a market where theres already a team

i think it would be massive

the kiwis would go crazy for it

and its something that union can never match

the warriors got close to 18,000 last night

how would you define that?

So by this reckoning you would agree that RL is dying in Sydney too?

NSW Waratahs get crowds comfortably better than any Sydney RL team.
