its worked in melbourne to help the storm, a market similar to london in terms of loyalties to a rival sport.
because of origin the storms crowds grew by around 50% after they got a game and awareness of RL in the city increased hugely.
and as ive said before someone like russel crowe could be used to market it.
hes is world famous, indeed hes in england now shooting the movie robin hood.
would the game do well with crowe backing it? course it would.
take off the blinkers boys
OK – here's a thing, which is why I accused you and your cohorts of being arrogant and patronising tosspots earlier – England is not a new market for RL: we don't need you to stage one of your domestic competition games over here to 'generate interest'. Got it yet?

what about london tb
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

26 years of professional RL, two professional teams, a host of amateur teams, loads of kids playing the game, home of the biggest game in RL (the Cup Final) for well over nearly 90 year – and the sooner we move back to hosting at least one international at Wembley the better.
What it doesn't need is some arrogant and patronising Ockers insisting that playing one of their domestic games between two teams 98% of Londoners have never heard of and have no interest in is something we need as a favour.
If you think you need to take Origin on the road to build interest in RL, have a look at WA, Victoria or Northern Territory first.
Oh: and with my official hat on

Is this thread still going!!
Anyway as TB said, the ARL need to look into expand the game of RL in their own country before looking at another, Western Australia especially!! I mean it is supposed to be the National Rugby League isn't it?

Perhaps your teacher can help you with that – some extra homework, maybe.
Having said that, your use of language appears somewhat better than fredie's – just a pity your ability to put forward a coherent argument or comprehend a debate is at the same level as his.
perhaps.
perhaps people might actually read the quote and see how it applies to the thread title rather than just talking about the punctuation
but hey, its your forum. if you want to ignore the thread topic, go right ahead.

as ive said before, london and melbourne are pretty much the same wrt to RL.
the ARL took an origin to melbourne to promote the sport there, and guess what, it worked fabulously
why is the idea of a game to try and benefit RL such a bad thing?
