"MELBOURNE may be awarded a State of Origin showpiece next year as part of a push from Victorian officials to increase the profile of rugby league in the southern state."
"Melbourne Storm chief executive Brian Waldron has lobbied the State Government to construct a 25,000-seat
facility to host rugby league, union and soccer.
Provided the project gains government funding then the Australian Rugby League will consider putting Melbourne back on the Origin map to host one match during next year's series."
Great news for all those League supports south of the Murray!!!
