If I remember correctly, there have been a couple of occasions when the Aussies have declined to host it, and it's had to be "moved" to the UK.

What ever happened to RLForums Bramley?

Lack of ambition.

The same reason it will be held in the clubs home ground and the game will complain about lack of visibility profile and sponsorship.

Yeah o figured it was probably a combination of not being able to market it well in Australia and not being able to fill stadiums. When it was at roosters ground the other year there was over 30,000 people there but also 15,000 empty seats. While attendances here will be lower we will also fill stadiums so will have a better atmosphere, least that's what I was assuming when trying to explain this to my brother.

Wigan had to take about 2 weeks out of their season to go down there last year, the cost of travelling is a lot greater than hosting too I would imagine.

A shame the series isn't played further south. Well one game at least.
