Attendances (Multiple Merged Threads)
Tony Angelino replied to The storm's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
I’d like to see York city knights target North Yorkshire more and position themselves as North Yorkshire’s club as there is a huge potential audience out there with not much competition in terms of other RL clubs and other professional clubs be it football or rugby Union etc. -
Maybe these expats aren’t interested in watching substandard rugby league? A regular NRL season match or even origin series game would be a whole different ball game. imo Im sure if marketed and promoted right by the NRL you could get a crowd in the low 20k to attend along with southern based RL fans and curious newbie sporting fans.

The fact that these fixtures weren’t sorted and planned out before the season makes me doubtful that they’ll actually go ahead but I’d love to be proven wrong.
-
I guess I’d be more supportive of the idea if there was an actual long-term pacific plan/strategy by the NRL which btw for me is a no-brainer.
-
To be honest I’m split about the decision as like you it makes for a potentially competitive World Cup but I’d just wish that there wasn’t any allegiance hopping between countries. Interesting to note that I believe rugby Union is going down the same path allowing dual representation at international level which indicates to me the threat of Tonga RL and RL in the pacific in general poses to RU.

That’s Potentially good news regarding the World Cup if not this proposed match during origin.

London Broncos Squad 2022
Tony Angelino replied to Twickbronc's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Most definitely but in true RL/London broncos fashion they did it backwards. The broncos should have stayed in Ealing when going part-time and should have only moved to Wimbledon as a fulltime operating club. -
Not upto date with all the latest origin eligibility rules but can you represent either NSW or Queensland and a tier2 nation like Samoa?
