got to agree with most of that, I don’t think they are worried about getting beat though? Just so up their own backsides & affraid that the NRL will be shown up as a boring one dimensional bore fest that it is, I had the misfortune to attend a couple of live games one at Manley a old fashioned stadium & one at Sydney’s main stadium to see Souths v West tigers both were boring & no atmosphere at all plus pathetic crowds for what is supposed to be their major sport? The sooner we get rid of this obsession with all things Australian the better. I would love to invite the Pacific nations to join a super league competition if we could only fund it. It won’t be long before the TV stations down under loose interest especially if soccer gets a bit of a boost.
Spot on again!
One-out rugby, five drives and a kick all game every game in front of 75% empty giant stadiums. It’s the equivalent of Wire playing in front of 2500 at the HJ or Wigan in front of 3000 at the DW that stupid big love off stadium they’ve got in Sydney.
Brisbane are the exception.
They’ve got more top level players and can pay them decent wages but our style of rugby and bar the odd side have far higher percentages of our stadiums full.
