| I would be there in a heartbeat. The thought of seeing a SOO in my back yard would be amazing. Its interesting to note that the NRL look on the financial advantages of London as a city for business. Something I and many others have been pointing out for years. Something that the RFL have failed to look towards.
RFU is succesful as they attract the Blue Chip companies in their droves. That is something that the RFU have exploited very well, where as the RFL over many years have failed to look towards them.
If and I know its a big IF a SOO game can attract a full house at Wembley and one or two blue chip companies then it can only do good for the game in this country.
We bang on about how great SOO is yet its packed away on a small satalite TV channel with an audience that you can count on two hands. The NFL and C4 and laterly Sky somehow manage to get people's imagination. A game that is played for 60 minutes over 4 hours. HTF does that happen.
Lets get a game (or series) to Wembley and shout about this from every roof top.

| I would rather Rugby League went global than the NRL!
If the Australians want to come to Wembley mid-season, let them send the Kangaroos for a mid-season test at Wembley rather than a State of Origin game, that would do far more for the game in the UK

The NRL has a duty to look after its own interests if that means games in England,China and the US then so be it.If SLE want to sit at the same table then it needs to shape up.Drop the rubbish northern clubs and get more French clubs in

Mental? Yes!
ENGLAND v New Zealand in a RLWC semi-final with tickets as cheap as a tenner...so a fiver a game... left 25,000 empty seats......Australia v Australia b in the other semi-final was less than half full by the 2nd half.
State of Origin at Wembley? Let the ARL pay for it, the ARL promote it, the ARL sell it and the ARL reap the profits (if any)....it would mean nothing to UK or European Rugby League in terms of legacy!'"
I thought the vague proposal is that it would be purely an NRL venture? If they want to have a bash, let them. I do think they'd get a good crowd though.

Why does it have to be anything for ruby league in this country over and above a really enjoyable game of rugby that most fans wouldn't normally see live?
I' play it up north personally but either way I can't see why it would be a bad thing for UK rugby.
