We are kept in the dark down under in oz, the only time we know its on is the final on t/v ,,, last year they showed the dragons v saints and i was wondering why a middle of the year game could attrack such a crowd. Anyway moving on now we had a simalar type of concept as druzik knows the panasonic cup, but that went by the wayside, now it origin, but having said this its our best watched and attended series by far.
Well really it is australias number 1 sporting event, which is a real bonus for league, this and the challenge cup keeps the game healthy.
They have something special planned for origin this year so should be a cracker, 2 games in sydney and one in brisbane, now if i think what might happen is we could get the 3 games sold out, that would top off the year nicely, the world cup will be a sell out for sure. We are getting 50k crowds just to the local derbies here in queensland so every thing looks good for a league year. Swing low sweet chariot.
