I don't see how having a commercially successful game at Wembley, drawing media attention and showing some of the best that the sport has to offer would not help RL.

Commercially successful? 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 !

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.

There's only one way to find out if it would sell out and be on FTA TV fax, innit?

I would have to go, I would do a lot to go and see it, I didn't go to any WC matches this year, but I went to 2 in 2000, the semi-final at Huddersfield and Wales v NZ in Cardiff.

Are you over 50 yrs of age fax? I'm under.

Nope but then again, I didnt know BBC 3 were showing it.....

I simply cannot understand what your point is. Why would a SOO match be detrimental to UK RL?

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.

LOL at people that:

a)are getting all precious about perceived arrogance. Here's a tip. Premier sports is dirt cheap, every NRL game is available to watch when the new season starts. Watch 2 a week along with the 2 SL games on sky and tell me which is better. The nrl is a serious step up from super league, in everything.

b)Think this would be a success. It's a fanciful idea, i'd sure as hell go. But it's a logisitical challenge for the aussies and there simply wouldn't be enough interest. You'd struggle to get 20k unless a sh*t load of aussies travelled over. How many come over for the kangaroos? Yeah, exactly.

Detrimental? No!
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!
