The Suns vs Collingwood game this Saturday night will be massive.

The Suns are improving rapidly & Collingwood have won 5 games in a row & are probably the biggest sporting club in Australia as much as I hate them.

I predict possibly a sell out crowd.

No one ever said that the suns were going to be popular on the Gold Coast especially considering that it is Rugby League territory but in truth is not really a sport city at all. I mean surfing is the most popular sport there. Although in saying that if they start making finals & God forbid win ...

I agree with you Leeroy.

But the thing is in the AFL states footy is extremely popular yet in the Rugby League states Rugby League is not really that popular at all except when Origin is on.

So percentages on that.

There is thing called the Barrassi line which splits footy states from Rugby League states. You guys should look it up because I am pretty sure Northern Territory is in the footy zone not the NRL zone. Facts are facts.

3 big Origin games makes every NRL game look amateur hour. Which it is clearly.

Yeah 10s of millions is good because of Origin. But guess what you lose from no one caring about NRL in the 9 weeks Origin is around!?? Yep you guessed it.... 10s of Millions

Don't let these Rugby League guys brainwash you Fred. They are good at that.

I think we are a little bit

Well said Fred. Well said.

I bet these Rugby League fans will not agree with us though.

Look at all the injuries in origin last night that happened to good players. It just ruins NRL teams so that is why AFL will never get origin back because winning the premiership is more important than winning basically a All Star/exhibition match that is meaningless

The worlds best!!! ahahaha. Its like saying AFL is the worlds best. No footy fan cares!!

I just read that Origin is not even sold out yet & that they are giving away tickets.

In a city of 5 million people they cant sell out there only origin game!! Wow!!

Yep it is one of those rare nights where footy fans watch rugby league.

Make the most of it because really Origin is all you league fans have got.

This how stupid it all is. If a team is up 2-0 in the series they still have a meaningless game 3.

Imagine that happening in any other sport on earth. It just shows how desperate Rugby League is for Origin because without it the sport would be broke.

I agree that it is unique & it is quite good. You can thank the AFL for Origin because Rugby League copied it off us in 1980. AFL Origin started in the 19th century before Rugby League had even been invented. Even QLD & NSW had a team. That's a bit of information I bet you Rugby League bloke...
