Wow, I'm really impressed. Went down to Olympic Park to watch the Raiders a few seasons back, the ground was in worse repair than Warringtons old ground Wilderspool, though don't recall what was on the piece of land they're now building on.

At what point did this annual set-up - laughingly described as an international (level playing field anyone?) - receive a complete bar from ever being played in New Zealand?

Just a quick tip for the RLIF etc., how about giving the Kiwis (current World Champs after all) an opportunity to play a Test or two on home soil?

Anyone?

Surprised any footage can be found that doesn't have the Super 15 team (perhaps found under the dictionary heading "Johnny Come Latelys"icon_wink.gif, prancing around pretending it was built only for them...

should be like origin, 3 match home and away.

You put the cart before the horse on this one, DM.

Origin only followed the three match pattern established by Tests, certainly in Australia, since the 1910 Lions Tour.

Thats an unusual design to a ground, however i must say it looks magnificent, coming along nicely.
