Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent

[Wb1234]

Maybe they're spending all their money on plane tickets. They're not selling here for Origin prices that's for sure

Wow that compares with 80 to 120 tickets for some nrl games

The WA public considers Lions matches as half the quality of NRL games

The prices reflect this

I believe they have overestimated the interest from the Australian public but 40,000 Lions fans coming to Australia is always good for the economy.

It is only good for the local economy if the 40,000 RU supporters don't keep out normal people from tourist destinations

Glory holes aren't tourist destinations for normal people

I’m sure Rugby Australia will get a decent sugar hit from the Lions tour. You will get a battalion of cashed up UK bogans with a mixture of the Aussie private school set wanting to be able to tell their mates they were at the Lions game. RA will think they are the number one sport for a brief second and then when all the money is spent and no one can be farked watching Super Rugby in 2026 they will be sitting around wondering where it all went wrong again.

They are like a gambler when they get a rare win...

Blow it all on Cleary or pay off our debt?.. Cleary it is!

Cute you went to all that effort but wrong game champ

So when you post "Friday game just gone", or last tense....

And I post a game with a future date...

You're just outwitting me?

Yes Friday night just gone is pretty clear for those with basic English comprehension.

Listen I know you got a bit excited on the initial read, but put a bit more work in next time.

2005 wants its narrative back. The Lions makes an absolute fortune, it is not changing. The minimum ticket price for the Friday night fixture just gone was $320 AUD with 30,000 travelling for it and Sky with wall to wall coverage. Keep on giving lads here what they want to hear though...

That's a lie. I've literally just gone on TicketMaster and the lowest cost is still AU$39 which is £18.59 in GBP, f**k all. No question ARU will make coin from this tour but don't need to be a Billy Bullshit. The Lions Tour is running head first into an Origin decider (which has worked out very well for the NRL) as well which will drown out the noise/coverage.

Back to the Fight Club you go

I literally posted "Friday game just gone". I don't know this is so challenging for some of you.
