Message: [QUOTE="Morepudding, post: 3081515, member: 8923"] Im on phone so replying properly is hard but Il try to do so tomorrow. For your point about people not caring about their uni, and Australians not caring much about sport etc. I totally get your point. But for building history and rivalry, this will start it. It can be played at the local grounds or smaller stadiums. Similar to the way the Qcup does. Yes it would take time to get it off the ground, but I feel this is a way to get people more involved with the game, and increase exposure to an international market (Asia). With so many international students it is a good way to make them more aware of the game by having a competitive uni team. But for the general public, college kids would all go (by college kids I mean the ones who live on campus). I believe UQ have a couple thousand, ANU has loads as well. This would get people watching. Where possible try and use them as curtain raisers for other games etc. We need a better development system. NYC was always stupid because it was just younger kids from the same NRL clubs. So it didn't bring in any new audience at all. The state cup system, even people who love NRL, don't give a shit because they didn't ever go to their games as kids and whatever. But as you said, a lot of people go to uni in Australia. Would I watch a UQ game on tv? 1000%. Why? Because I went there and have a connection to it. Other people would feel the same, and that grows a lovefor the uni, and more history for the uni (so that helps the unis get on board) and also, it will bring in people who don't usually watch sports.
