Great idea for the NRL..

I'd love to see a magic weekend in Sydney, and it wouldn't be that hard to organise.
You just need to schedule all the Sydney sides for a home game on the one weekend and put all the games on at Homebush.
The NSW government should come to the party to get every league fan in the country to travel to Sydney and spend lots of money - so massive amounts of publicity for free, big crowds at Homebush, lots of chances for other events like charity dinners, fan days, etc etc etc.
Just charge one full price admission and you can watch as many games over the weekend as you want - that would get 60k crowds for all three days i reckon.

You would have to aim at beating a 15k average per game. 8 games means 120k over 4 days - MNF would stuff it. Otherwise a double header Friday night and two triple headers on Sat and Sunday Arvo.

Or split the games between ANZ and SFS. Could have Easts v Saints and and Sharks v Warriors at SFS on Friday, Dogs v Storm, Manly v Knights and Panthers v NQ on Saturday, and Souths v Raiders, Wests v Titans and Parra flogging Brisbane on Sunday.

What a great idea. You should contact the NRL with that suggestion and I know that I would fly into Sydney for the weekend if Storm were playing.

Why wouldn't they be playing??? :?

Well you know just about everyone in Sydney hates us, so we could be conveniently forgotten about and have a bye with another hated team;-)
