The point of the post was NRL origin would be a huge draw. Tagging on a UK player equivalent would mean it would get a crowd and atmosphere. But it’s a tag on not the main event. If it worked maybe it kick starts something. Maybe it won’t work or maybe will who knows unless we try

Because it would be tagged onto a marquee event and getting more eyeballs on it. In the same way the game at vegas in 2 hours with Leeds and Hull or involved has generated excitement way above a normal home game. I agree it’s not the objective of the event but would be a nice spin off. Stand alone it’s irrelevant tagged onto origin takes it to a new level. Let’s be honest England rl needs it but it needs jeopardy and meaning

Agreed but outside old Trafford no ground holds more than 63k. So if you think you will get that or more it makes sense to go there. Plus I wouldn’t underestimate the amount of antipodeans who would turn up and woukdbg for CCF. As I say I would also see merits in a northern town city as well

I think an origin match at Wembley would be massive. Especially when you add in the 100s of thousands of Aussies and kiwis living in the Uk and mostly in london. I would also consider resurrecting war of the roses and have it as a double header to the origin match. Vegas has proved blending NRL pulling power, vision and financial muscle with UK fan enthusiasm for this could kick start our version of Origin which has struggled on its own. Also would add to the crowd. I think it would work in london but 100% would work in Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds or Newcastle for sure.

Had 42 just bought 9 more @ £45 on second tier only 2 sections still available I could see. Taking 50+ city types

London is expensive 12 months around those places arent 12 month round. mainly Union and footy season. so they probably will be cheaper and more novel than London imo. alos I think the west coast trains to London are appalling last few years and not reliable so puts people off imo

simple for me. if CCF comes away from Wembley then has to be Millennium, Murrayfield and Aviva and rotate it

15k is a decent number after 10 days. Almost the number we got on average v Samoa and Tonga. So long way to go

not sure, why do you think they won't?

yes I personally spent around £350k before I left. I know since the another £50k+. no one does this to make money. these players are on of the reasons for doing it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:London_Skolars_players. this is just a subset
