The NRL is a quality product, even if it was Tigers v Titans

Agree wholeheartedly but the only issue I see was that if the shoe was on the other foot and the NFL were sending two teams over here for a game and one hadn`t won a comp in 30 years and the other had never even won one I`d straight away be thinking, what are we getting, the dregs, these teams can`t be very good. That wouldn`t help with marketing for anyone who does a bit of research before buying tickets.

I’m not sure. It’s not often you get a chance to see an NFL game so I reckon even the worst teams would sell out.

Love the Poms enthusiasm but FFS don`t let them anywhere near the running of it, they`d f**k it up big-time.

Including allowing everyone to simply call it "rügbeh".

To be fair, the first NFL London game had teams that hadn't won for 17 years and 34 years, and it still sold 81,000 tickets. The 2nd London game had 2 teams that had never won a superbowl, and it sold 83,000.

They brought a freaking preseason game back in 99 where the starters play one drive then never see the field again. And had the gall to make Sterling in the footy show say that the game meant something when it meant absolutely nothing. Chargers vs broncos.
