Not entirely sure what they expected to be honest. Its a gimmick and should be removed. How many other sports do something like this?

Liverpool sell out Anfield for legends matches and all the teams in the Super League can only get 50,000 between them.

Focus needs to be on growing the game further where it is already "popular" as the average attendances of Super League teams is shocking.

Personally I would prefer a few double headers during the season rather than 3 games on the day, too many people just wandering in and out at random and some games very poor.I have never fancied going and doubt I ever will.
