Message: [QUOTE="nopatience101, post: 2640006, member: 1755"] Origin, along with the grand final, are the games marquee events and some of Australia's marquee events, and it should be priced accordingly, the QRL and NSWRL consult with the NRL/ARLC on pricing so they are just as responsible for pricing as Smith is, if not more so. The revenue that the NRL generates goes back into the game, so if as you suggest making money is Smith's priority, it is one and the same with the games. As 1910 says, origin has been moved from NSW/QLD decades before Smith got there and the policy to move one game every three years was introduced before he got there. Origin has only gotten bigger since the rule was introduced, it's only been missed by those more interested in the biff than the footy, it's still as tough and brutal as ever. The games support is broader than the narrow attitudes you represent and Smith is appealing to that broader base in order to grow the game. [/QUOTE]
