You assume that UK sponsors would be keen.....you assume Wembley would sell out......you assume a UK based broadcaster would be interested.......you assume too much methinx. Minor UK sponsors bothered with a 5 week tournament, Wembley had 25% empty seats for 2 games, SKY weren't bothered and the BBC got the same/more viewers for union friendlies.....it's only "MASSIVE" because you follow RL....nobody else would give a love!
Fly 50+ from each camp SoO to London 1st/Business Class......you'll maybe cover that expense with the ticket sales.....MAYBE! You haven't sorted out a training facility, hotels, Transport, stadium hire etc......not to mention the negotiating with NRL coaches/clubs about taking players away for a fortnight.'"
Ironic that in a post where you suggest I'm making assumptions you do the same. When have I said that Wembley would sell out? Stop making assumptions about what I'm assuming, dude.
Come off it. If Super Rugby can host a meaningless game and draw 30k at Twickenham, with next to nothing in the way of promotion, then the Aussies could bring State of Origin over and make it a success.
Go take your Yawnion rubbish elsewhere. Nobody cares about your predictably low opinion of rugby league.
