what that should tell you is that even a game between the two best RL nations only has a hope of filling a small stadium, why then do you think SoO which is played between to states of the world second best RL nation :wink: would sell out the English National stadium and bring a new unprecedented level of of support in London for RL?


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.

a few weeks back you were trying to talk about RL in australia like an expert and if you live in the UK you cant have kept up to date with those that live here.

lets just be consistant with how we argue here



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.
