[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 624210, member: 12207"] Really? In a city of where the population for the Greater Metro region is around 21 million, you don't think Rugby League is capable of convincing less than 1 per cent (around 200k) of getting into the game? Surely if you can do it in Melbourne - a city that remains actively hostile to Rugby League - you can do it in London. You just have to build the interest buy actively and intelligently selling the product. Just why is it the League has such a hard time breaking into the English psyche beyond the M62 corridor Dan? Surely the game should have appeal for your average Englishman if only he watched it. It's a hell of a sport, and you have the only other fully pro league in the world there. [/QUOTE]
