Fixed that for you.
Origin matches are highly successful events in their own right, but they do not accurately reflect interest in Rugby league, any more than tv ratings for the Olympics accurately reflect a widespread interest in Athletics. People watch it for the spectacle, the theatre of it. Not for love of the code or the NRL.
hence the title of the thread "proof that SOO is nothing but a state vs state gimmick"
and it will only continue to be proved right, as the two SOO games are played, the NRL crowds will drop off.
SOO so much media hype NSW vs QLD state vs state, bandwagon interest,
NRL very little interest

so where does every one go from SOO if it is a true reflection of the interest in the NRL

Close enough .
The Resemblence is uncanny.
Milo Kerrigan, also known as "The Brownish Bomber", is supposedly a welterweight champion who has experienced 27 knockouts through his career, as well as the 2 that he inflicted on his opponents and has had his face horribly disfigured due to all the blows he has had in the face. On top of this, he has a speech impediment due to damaged vocal cords that make what he says incomprehensible.
That's nailed swines in One.

....and they still don't get it,the AFL crew,and we are very amused. What don't they get? They don't get the fact that SOO gives the rugby league world a team and they line up behind that team and they are passionate in their support. This is not a club game or even a grand final where at the heart are the supporters of the contestants joins by those who like watching a league game. In SOO all leaguies have a team and by the way that extends to places like NZ and PNG who just don't love watching SOO they are passionate each year about supporting the Blues or Maroons. AFL has no contest where the AFL world has a team.
Yes there are a number who watch because it is an event and what a great marketing tool SOO is to bring knew followers to the code. What geniuses think this is a problem.?
As for the fact that SOO is the whole cake well big as it is with around 12m viewers this year that is till a fraction of the around 130m viewers that the NRL will get this year. Have a look at those individual cable or FTA games for NRL not he before and after SOO to see how the games numbers hold up.
I do love the concept that somehow Oztam report on how passionate the supporters are or is that AFL desperation?

Emenarella perhaps you can explain it - if it is SOO why do both sides have players that were born OS or in other states???? It's all very well to say it's the pinochle of RL but if that's the case why call it SOO???? It therefore can't be a representative match because it's participants have manipulated the entry requirements - it makes the whole thing farcical - and like I continue to say if you enjoy it that is all that matters but don't expect others to look at as any more than a Tina Turnner gimmick. But unfortunately this is the ONLY area where RL takes centre stage - not in crowds, revenue, sponsorship or interest and passion week in week out - it is fast becoming the main event with your club competition a very sad side show - if that's what you want fine - but how do you sell it to Victorians, WA, SA, NT and Tassie people that they MUST play for either NSW or QLD to be part of it - how do you ask people from other states to maintain interest and be passionate about the contest and look it as just another event - yah can't because there is no attachment there! As for TV ratings - tell me just ONE thing with the ratings what is the percentage of support for each side????, Why doesn't those ratings translate into crowds, sponsorship or revenue???? It is one indicator and only one indicator of interest (and not a good one - generally people don't put their hands in their pockets for it!). But in every other indicators AFL is streets ahead!!!! So live in ur SOO bubble were just fine thanks!

My god - sound the bells, get the photographers,witnesses please as we have an acknowledgement " that the NRL takes centre stage" on something.
Of course clearly don't understand why SOO takes centre stage but sometimes things are just so obvious to all.
I do love the concept of a "gimmick" that has been going for thirty consecutive years and gets bigger every year. Is that an Australian gimmick record?
Clearly some high anxiety associated with this acknowledgement based on attempt to minimise due to some player irregularities in the past but still going the right way.
