Have to admit, the MCG is a great stadium for Origin. Was such a good atmosphere to watch a game of Rugby League in.

So do you think the NRL will risk doing it again next year??? I mean that unless they get the same crowd or more then you'll hear a chorus of people saying it's not worth it (particularly NSW RL people!)

They could play it at home where they have shown over the years they can and do get crowds.

The ARLC and esp the ARL say thankyou very much for the extra $$$ this year and just in time for the next TV deal, thankyou very much Victoria :D

But question is will they do it next year / they could hold it at the venue because their not competing against another event on a Wednesday.

Lol are you blind .

But that's not the question surely a 91k crowd being a record for RL and the record TV ratings the NRL could very easily bring it forward if they wanted to or had the balls to, but will they??

its the usual huffing and puffing, chest beating dribble from the NRLOL mob

Yep and again would they have the balls to do it every year - not asking what is just asking if they have the guts to do it every year - I take it as a no!

It's got nothing to do with guts .
Lol you fumblers are a strange lot .
Yr1 ..2 home games in Qld 1 in Nsw
Yr 2 ..2 home games in Nsw ,1 in Qld
Yr 3 1 game Qld
1 game Nsw 1 game Vic ( in future poss NZ or Perth )

It's about fairness ,& giving home crowds the opportunity to watch their state team .

So it's not in Melb every 3 years!

Oh my .

Every 3 years they will sell a game to a neutral venue being the MCG Perth or NZ or whatever place decides they want to host a game.

Too many NSW & QLD fans are very dirty at it being held in Melbourne at all. They say it is a Northern states event and Victoria don't deserve it.
Don't think the NRL would not risk putting it there every year with a lot fans being unhappy about it.

Every 3 years makes the event more special.

Learn to under stand why they paid for it? It's like the Grand Prix. It boosts the states overall economy from the influx of visitors!
