How would the NRL/Sydney public react to a GF with no Sydney based clubs involved?
IMO the AFL has grown as a commercialty attractive business on the back of bcoming a truly National game, and the last 2 (this will be 3 in a row) GF's featuring non Victorian clubs has had a huge influence in this perception growing, positviely impacting in their growing commercial appeal. (Think TV rights at least)
Does the NRL 'need' a non Sydney based GF to recapture an almost national appeal? Or is the League still seen as a predominately NSWRL plus a few invited guests?
Being a Storm fan, as well as a Sydney expat, perhaps my thoughts are a biased...but I spose everyones opinion is biased technically speaking...!
I think there is a great oppurtunity for the NRL coming up this weekend if both out of town sides get up.
GO STORM.
