[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 624208, member: 12207"] If they focus the game around Brisbane again, it will get good crowds. The Final was a sell out (and a cracking match) in 2008, and the tournament itself was successful enough to justify the interest in the England one. South Africa would have been a bad idea, you're right. I'd argue France is a more fertile ground than SA at the moment - at least they have one pro team. Nevertheless, the game is only really becoming strong in Australia and NZ. Everywhere else it's still stagnating, and from what you're saying Dan it's going backwards in England. It does, but in all honesty that will take decades and considerable resources from bodies like the NRL. And whilst the NRL is doing brilliantly here right now, it is still fighting a war with the AFL that it won't want to water down its resources for. [/QUOTE]
