if you want to promote RL in new markets, the best way to do it is with the best product.

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?

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?

Of course you might just have been unable to copy something out of a book correctly.

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?
