im sorry . i did not know you were the leader of the master race

But if we adopted that policy, there'd only be me left posting on here …

nobody gives a damm about NFL . AFL in england . but its a sellout at wembley soo might show you up . but you just need too bite the bullet

The only people that need to bite the bullet are yourself and dally fredie.

You guys havent looked at this objectively at all. I threw a few simple logistical questions that would come up at the concept stage of any new venture for a sports promoter, Dally came back with a few random examples that used totally different ventures with different objectives to your origin in england concept.

It will acheive nothing
No one would underwrite it
It would devalue the Origin concept and brands

You're just throwing half cocked examples of similar ventures about, saying look this worked. Fair enough you've had an idea, its not viable, it won't eventuate, time to move on.

we took the SOO too LA. USA alot of english fans want the WAR OF THE ROSES back . SOO could be the injection it needs

FFS, you'd think the very future of the game in Oz depended upon SoO being played over here!

So, Fredie, is this the case?

yes it would pump up our pension contracts

you have no vision . its all just negative for you . no wonder england team is a shambles . get out

this concept would help the english team

when you were sending out people to australia, did they pick all the really athletic ones to make the voyage over.

it would explain a lot.

you missed the point of my post.

heres a quote from wally lewis book on origin :

"at half time the yanks were invited to give feedback and the articulate yanks did not dissappoint - "non stop, fast, rough, aggressive, they knock the hell out of each other, wear no protection, no helmets, theyre real men, its great".

if you want to promote RL in new markets, the best way to do it is with the best product.

its worked in melbourne to help the storm, a market similar to london in terms of loyalties to a rival sport.

because of origin the storms crowds grew by around 50% after they got a game and awareness of RL in the city increased hugely.

and as ive said before someone like russel crowe could be used to market it.

hes is world famous, indeed hes in england now shooting the movie robin hood.

would the game do well with crowe backing it? course it would.

take off the blinkers boys
