you can't pay on the door

You can pay on the door,it's always been like that from day 1.

To have to play another game to attract a crowd isn't good marketing. Good marketing is attracting people to the advertised event. To change the event means the marketing was so poor they couldn't get enough people to the original event.



It's like moving the England/Cumbria game to Old Trafford with the Grand Final because they couldn't get a crowd. Is that good marketing?



Sydney shouldn't get tests next time around until they can prove they are going to put the effort in. This game would have probably got more in Perth.



Where's Jonesy when you need him?

it was always the intention to play the tonga game as a warm up



so you think having 2 games played at once is a bad thing to offer paying customers?

It's not bad for the paying customer, no. It's bad for business and the image of the game that we need to have a curtain raiser to attract a crowd to see the best team in the world play at home.

Why don't they play it in PNG? There would be a capacity crowd at the ground and another 15,000 in trees around the ground to see it.



They really dont have any ambition do they.

hey you thought they moved samoa vs tonga because there were poor ticket sales initially



so its good for the customer huh?



then its good marketing

Just because something is good for the customer doesn't mean it is marketed well. They aren't even nearly the same thing.



I could have the best product in the world. But if it's not marketed well, no-one will buy it. If I make it better, the only people it will benefit are the few that it were marketed too before.

ahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa



It's funny because it's true

Just shows international RL is seen as a joke, in the northern and southern hemispheres.

Money, saddened. Money.

This is what really annoys me about the International Board.

Why oh why can't RL market the game properly,I mean FFS the product is there and I know it's only Aus v PNG but it is the 4 Nations.

This is supposed to be the pinnacle of RL in the only International tournament of the year,for God's sake I wish they could promote the game properly for a change,when will they ever learn.
