Kevin Sheedy: Play an AFL round overseas
THE MAN BEHIND GWS NOW WANTS TO GO GLOBAL
THE opening round of the AFL season would be played overseas for premiership points in a plan pitched to league headquarters by footy legend Kevin Sheedy.
Sheedy said matches should be played across the globe to broaden the reach of AFL and use Aussie expats living abroad to help sell the code to the masses
“We’re in a better position now than ever to seriously look at the growth of our game overseas while we’re still promoting and developing it in the northern states of Australia,’’ he said

Re: Kevin Sheedy: Play an AFL round overseas
Oh my
Dockhead is just not real bright .
Firstly
Why would RL sweat .
We already play multiple games overseas ....
It's no big deal
The biggest event at Wembley a few years ago was a test between England & NZ
There's pro & semi pro Rl matches played in NZ PNG France England Canada during the year .
Lol
& more importantly a whole round of afl overseas has serious ramifications
Oh my
Won't somebody think of the poor caterers ,
All those missing fans eating throughout the whole game .

Were do you buy Tickets? This is a day we will all remember. The day a village sport became international. We all new where we were and what we were doing when JFK was shot, the moon landing and the great Shanghai experiment.
Rugby League, the dominant force in Australian sport!

Try again
The top level is fully pro
How many fucking times have you posted this bullshit .
You keep getting proven wrong but that doesn't stop you .
They have full time professional RL Referees over there too
Just like in Aust .
See also: British rugby league system
Super League is the top league for the game in Europe; eleven of the twelve teams are based in England. It is the only full-time professional rugby league competition operating in the Northern Hemisphere. The French team Paris Saint-Germain competed in the first Super League season but folded in 1999. French presence was re-established in 2006 when Catalans Dragons were admitted to Super League.

How can it be semi professional when it has professional tv coverage and buys players off NRL clubs.
