You are aware that the VFL had state of origin before the NSWRl? It lost favour with the clubs because their priority was the normal season…I used to like watching them.leeroy*NRL* wrote: Thu Apr 03, 2025 2:10 pmBaseball or NFL ??Fred wrote: Wed Apr 02, 2025 6:53 pmSoO is indeed a popular thing in Victoria as it is a marquee thing. You’ll also see other marquee games such as baseball or even when the nfl come - rate well and draw crowds. Grand finals also the same for both codes.

Rugby League could be extremly Popular in Perth and Melbourne.
And State OF Origin would still be Very Popular.
it would actually probably be more popular, as teams situated in those states get more involved.
with players in there team (Perth for example) played for NSW and QLD
this happened with the Storm being in the NRL. With players playing for Melbourne Storm that played for the MAROONS>
Now we see 400k Plus from Melbourne tuning into a game NSW v QLD (this figure does not include Regional Victoria or BVOD
When the arl can fields a Victorian state of origin that would be good.
I thought it would be good to have Storm go up against nsw and/or qld - with Storm getting to keep all their qls born players. Would be interesting. That would draw a lot of interest in Victoria.
they have not even played in Melbourne yet ??and of course NFL is going to be BIG its the first NFL for points ever...
its gurantted to sell out... and its not because of Melbourne any CIty in Australia would of sold out.
State of ORIGIN gets 3 games poer year good ratings..
See state of origin will never become a Victorian thing in Rugby League even if they had 100 players..
You have to grow up with State of Origin to understand (it stays with NSW v QLD)

BVOD is included in Total TV figures.Beaussie wrote: Sun Apr 06, 2025 5:19 pmPerhaps Wookie can confirm? I’ve always thought BVOD is included in the totals reported from VOZ for metros and national.
On this rare occasion you are right beatup.
