as an expansion tool, 1 game a year played outside of either nsw or queensland ie perth, melbourne or imagine it adelaide

if we played an origin game in auckland wed kill off union

For once I agree! SOO is the games most marketable tool in Australia. They'd sell out Subi for it no problem, when we get our new super dooper stadium maybe??

It should however be a part of a coordinated NRL offensive to spread the game across the region.

don't care now, gidley's playing.

Would like to see a SOO game over here in the UK. Would be a sellout crowd IMO.

Melbourne deserves to keep getting games that is for sure.

From the 1994 crowd of 87,000+ (what we should be aiming to get back to in my personal view; ie. MCG pre- SLW) to the plus 50,000 throbbing atmosphere at Etihad I experienced there last year in game 1, they have contributed plenty to the arena.

Thanks for reminding us, eels, that not all supporters are in the envious position of being able to travel to games as flippantly as certain other posters feel is necessary (I am not talking about you, DM). You are a good man and a true supporter of the game; that is worth much more to rugby league in other ways than attendance alone.

yep.........totally agree

across to perth ??

NSW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

when (if!) we get the new multi purpose $billion stadium then we will certainly have the facilities to host one. Hopefully by then the Reds will also be back, the game will be back on FTA TV and we can use it as a massive promotion for the game in WA.
