[QUOTE="melon, post: 216262"] I totally support the move, providing that QLD gets 2 Origins in 2010 because 2009 was the year for us to have 2 but that has been taken away with Vic getting our first one. This should be this format for the next three years. 2009: QLD x1, Vic x1, NSW x1 2010: QLD x2, Vic x1 2011: QLD x1, Vic x1, NSW x1 If we find that Victoria draws a bigger crowd than NSW I think to be fair we should stay with the three states sharing an Origin each because it would be totally unfair to give 2 to QLD and 1 to Vic every year because interest would nose dive in NSW with the fringe fans. However if it is shown eventually that NSW will draw bigger crowds than Vic, then it should go back to the old format of 2 QLD, 1 NSW/1 QLD, 2 NSW. There are so many factors to consider though. [list][*]QLD is the heartland and will pull bigger crowds than anywhere else. [*]NSW need should get 1 game per year because if not then interest in Origin would decline [*]We need to penetrate other markets, in this case, Victoria [/list] [/QUOTE]
