[The Future is League]

I'm with Will Kennedy on this one, and I think NRL clubs should take one home game a season to the bush

They do Penrith play at Bathurst each year and Paramatta plsy in Darwin each year. If a city council stumps up the cash one of the Sydney clubs will.play there.

The fact that the NRL is also engaged in a "hearts and minds" contest in country aras agains AFL is another reason why games in the country will be more prevalent in future.

I watched the Penrith game. Good atmosphere but it looked a bit dark. They should upgrade the floodlights for next season
