Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2640165, member: 8215"] I'm not saying I agree with Banker Dave, however there are monetary gains by taking a game overseas. It opens up the opportunity to get sponsors on board who are looking for international exposure. SOO may be shown overseas now, but it's still an Aussie game played by roughnut convicts. Play it overseas and all of a sudden you have an exhibition game where the big international fish are willing to pay big money for stadium signage, jersey exposure, even potential naming rights for that game. IMO that's not worth throwing more hurdles at players (add in jet lag to their list of issues, with some potentially being required to back up two days after). Nor do I want it to become a circus where its soul is sold to the highest bidder. But it's something that would appeal to a beancounter so wouldn't surprise me. [/QUOTE]
