That’s like saying that Boca v River Plate isn’t bigger than Inverness Caley Thistle v Ross County because people in the highlands are more into the latter.

thebrewxi Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I thought this was a forum, where you could chat with others about what you might find interesting. Didn't realise needed to bow to a party line in terms of topics. Fair enough, I'll have a look at the featherstone investigation thread that I've ignored 10 pages of up until now and started getting really into whatever that's about.

Lots of NSW people reside in Brisbane, so a fair chucnk of the crowdis always supporting Blues in Brisbane. Whereas very few live in North Qld so it will be an extremely parochial crowd.

For a match that sells out within half an hour of tickets going on sale, it is pretty hard to justify moving it from a 52k capacity venue, to a 25k one.

Queensland v NSW is insular as not only is it a contest between 2 states but it’s the biggest game on the RL planet which harms international RL which should be the pinnacle of the game. If it wasn’t for origin players like Kalyn ponga would be representing New Zealand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
