because to be honest origin is much better than australia vs nz.

and i still think the RFL shouldve played a test match in london at wembley this year as well, thought not that one.

its a different topic but it shows you that at least im consistant with trying to grow and be ambitious

edit : the skills and level of RL in an orgin kill any test match football played.

I agree with your second point, and Im 50 - 50 on your first point, but even if SoO is a better brand of Rugby, i would say that more people would be interested in an international fixture rather than a fixture between two states. I reckon over 95% of sports fans in this country wouldnt even know what SoO was, never mind want to go watch it.

people dont know about it.

thats where the marketing comes in.

and because its different to what soccer or union can offer the public, people might say, wow, ill give this a chance

the kind of people that normally dont give RL a lot of time.

when you want to introduce new people to RL, its the best way to do it.

ive seen it happen year after year basically since its started where you go wow, this stuff is amazing.

if people like what they see, they might get hooked on the RL bug.

You went last year Dally?

Funny about that, I went to the last game that was held in Melbourne and that would have been near on 3 years ago.

I've been out of the country for 16 months.

Secondly, I still manage to see 4-5 games of RL a week through a mixture of Setanta and the net.

I am also still able to read just as much as I did before I left, this internet thing is amazing.

its a silly argument to use. just argue it on its merits.

most aussies i know say nine is s**t vs fox. you said it wasnt.

you havent been in aus for a bit.

therefore its cause you are overseas?

see where the agrument gets you.

poor debating.

see what i mean about poor debating.

in the words of fatty vautin, youve got nuthin

hindy, you stick to reading about NRL games, ill stick to attending them live.

round 3, 6 games already.

I'd say getting your facts totallyt muddled up is pretty poor debating!
