MORE EMBARRASSMENT FOR NSW
THE NRL is facing a hard sell with just 14,000 tickets sold so far for Origin III at ANZ Stadium on July 13.
Embattled ANZ Stadium chiefs are doing their best with more PR spin than Shane Warne, factoring 20,000 members into the estimated ticket sales for the dead rubber.
But there is no guarantee all 20,000 members will show up. In fact, it’s highly unlikely ... and ANZ could face the embarrassing prospect of 20,000 empty seats for Origin III.
So, being the progressive thinkers at The Inside Mail, we have a wonderful proposal. To spare NSW’s blushes, the NRL should move Origin III to a fine Sydney venue such as Brookvale Oval or Pepper Stadium. Both have capacities around 22,000. That will ensure an Origin III sellout. What a masterstroke.
I think it's a great idea, this would be enough to make me buy a ticket.
