And so close to the Rah Rahs world cup. Think about it. Three quarter empty stadiums.... what a great rugby league promotion.
Who really enjoys a rugby league player sprinting 80 metres to score every 25 seconds.....
If you want to watch sevens, go to Hong Kong.
Honestly what are our "wisemen" thinking about....timing is everything.
I'll wait to February when the Rugby League starts....

I reckon it's great because it allows all the fans, no matter who they are, to get a good day out for cheap. It's just an entree but it doesnt claim to be anything more.
The flip side of that is the dregs who come out of the woodwork because tickets only cost about $10.

I know how to turn 30,000 spectators into at least 60,000.
You remember or have you heard of the old picnic game. chase the greasy pig. It was a game which has obviously now been banned, but involed greasing down a pig and having all the kids chase it and try and catch it. So you get my drift.
Well during the break in play, we could get the mongrel dog that stole the loot and grease him down, and have the Roo's chase him around the Stadium.
Now that would be sports entertainment. I'd travel down from Central Queensland to see that.
Whadduh ya reckon.
