would you be interested in going too see it live

Eeerrr.......yes!

Nah its overrated, the Lancashire v Yorkshire games had more intensity.

yes we could play it up north or london . we are talking about it a thread in the The Virtual Terrace

Yes, but its never going to happen.

Besides, City v Country is the real deal.

you mean city origin vs country origin

I'd love to see SoO in the UK.

But as mentioned above, it will never happen.

1. Channel Nine won't allow it unless its played at 10/11am BST to suit their Wednesday evening schedules. The alternative is its shown live in Aus on Thursday morning, cant see the ratings being very high though.

2. ARL don't need to bring it over here, not when they're developing ties in Melbourne and with plans and rumours for expansion to Perth.

3. Wembley would probably be the best stadia to play it at, but the majority of RL fans in the UK are northern based. They would need time off work in order to attend. Makes it even more awkward if the match kicks off in the morning.

4. An issue that was brought up when the IPL was being considered for England, what are the TV rights for RL in the UK? Setanta currently broadcast all SoO games like they broadcast all IPL games. But in cricket SKY have all the rights for cricket in the UK. Whats SKY's position with regards to RL being broadcast in the UK as they hold all league and international matches?

I can't the point of playing it in England whatsoever.
I could see where the idea came from to play in America, and I would quite like to see an Origin 3 played in Perth, but I don't see the point of playing one in England, even before you begin to take into account the logistics and the row it could cause between organisations and broadcasters.

Would be great to see an Origin decider at Subiaco, the interest in RL is definately there. A pre season friendly drew a healthy crowd to a substandard stadium, and I reckon the South Sydney - Melbourne game could go close to a sell out.

If a Perth or Adelaide team joins the NRL in 2013, maybe they'll take Origin games there in the couple of years beforehand. They cannot afford to ignore two of Australia's biggest cities any longer, expansion is crucial to the games long term prosperity over there.

why is it all negetive with you lot

WTF are you on about?

Everyone has said they would like to see an Origin game here, but the truth is it isn't ever going to happen. That's realistic not negative.

I would like to see Origin games played in Perth and Adelaide, along with Melbourne on a rotational basis to spread the game beyone League's heartland in Australia. Positive enough for you champ?

Would love to see it. However would like to see more international/county games.

Especially if it resulted in strong home nations.

play a double header . war of the roses. county vs county?? east vs west?? then a SOO now that would sell out

Like You

tooheys blues cockroaches vs xxxx maroon canetoads

its just sour grapes from some of the neg mis sods in england . you could use origin . too pump up more fans . get war of the roses back . play 2 games at the same venue . like wembley . when the fans see the brutal warfare like SOO they will go crazy for it . all the players will want too play at wembley on this day . pump them up aswell . if its done right it could turn out too be 1 of the greatest rugby league days of the year .if we could get 2 games played at wembley . same day . the fans would go crazy





. tooheys blues cockroaches vs xxxx maroon canetoads

what about winner of war of the roses v winner of state of origin .......

The Lancashire V Yorkshire game was a bit of a farce, a few years ago John Monie used to pull all the Wigan players out of the team to save injuries and the same would happen in today's game.

yes i see what you mean . but SOO overule club rules

if your picked .you play . plus you get paid very nicely aswell .

forget lancs v yorks what about really trying to push a league equivalent of 6 nations...probably at the moment it'd have to be 4 (england, france, wales) but i think it could be a top competition especially once celtic have developed (hopefully) like catalans did and scotland may come into it too

would be an ideal breeding ground for success in end of season 4-nations comp against aus & nz for england and france by providing the players with a step up in intensity and a real goal for players during the early start of the season

play each other home and away, that provides 4 games each, scrap the extra round of superleague at murrayfield or wherever

yes thats it . i like your vision . need too step up in intensity

not long to go
