Fredie, I make no apologies for agreeing with Albert that you could work on your English writing, I can't understand a word of what you're writing.

As to the idea of

A - Aussi SOO in France, we should look at its TV ratings in France and the total dissinterest by the Antipodeans to export their brand. I think it would make more sence to play a game in Nz and build on the RL following there.

B - French SOO? It would be a walkover, with the Catalan region crushing any other side. We could promote the Presidents v Dragons as a SOO of sort, or possible the TO v Dragons. Until TO kick off as a major force in RL (i.e. never, as they will never match us) it will be pretty one sided. For SOO to work you need multiple sides feeding in to one Origin side, and the Origin match needs to be the highest intensity match. So even an LER-only SOO would not do too well since Catalan matches would be better. Still, an LER SOO would possibly not be too bad an idea.

whats TO . LER ?? we could play a double header . with the nsw cockroaches vs queensland canetoads involved in 1 of the games . it would lift the profile of france rugby league . and the french test team . good ideas baby

Frankly, I find it hard to decipher anything you've written, so wouldn't have a clue if you'd made any proposals on promoting the game. All I see is that you want French people to be able to watch State of Origin, which they already can, or you're suggesting a French version of Origin, which would not fly without far greater playing depth or without a traditional rivalry that could be found between areas where the game is strong.
