If anything, you've proven why this wouldn't work with this comment.

How many local fans turned up to see MM? Very few. How many were from the north to see their team play? The vast majority.

Unless you're expecting NSW and QLD fans to fly half way around the world to fill Wembley, very few locals will come. I doubt many from the north will bother travelling, especially for a trial game (as it isn't part of the series).

but play war of the roses game aswell . you have too start somewhere . SOO was a one game hit .in its first year . now look at it .its gone crazy

The only way I can see this working would be to suspend all domesic RL for a weekend, and to hold it as a double header with England vs SL based foreign players.

People say such a match wouldn't be taken seriously, but I think it would if it were played at Wembley with Origin. All players would love to take part in such an event.

But there are way too many practical ostacles involved in flying both Origin teams half way round the world and back mid-season.

Yes, because the Yanks are used to watching a game of drive, drive drive, kick, repeat.
