It only occurred to me last night that David Gallop and the NRL are slowly trying to sell the Sydney teams out.
That's what it boils down to.
They're selling us out!
Us Sydney teams have become a burden in the equation!
Gallop and co had/have this vision of expansion!
He keeps harping on about the central coast.
Oh yer, the central coast Rabbitohs.
A south Sydney team based in Gosford that'll work.
You can bet your arse that it'll be Adelaide and Perth next to follow too at the expense of Penrith or Sharks.
I heard this morning Manly merging with Parra.
You're on notice Rugby League.
See how Gallop awards himself with a nice cushy little job and fat pay check but the game is in trouble.
Perhaps those in charge should look at themselves and ask if they're part of the problem.
They're the ones pushing the panic buttons!
And I dare and not ask this question, as I'm afraid of the answer, but, are we trying to compete with the AFL?
Gallop offers Souffs 8 lousy million to go to Gosford and on the other hand AFL offered a Victorian team 100 million to go to the Gold Coast. (Which they rejected!)
So you can see how tiny we really are.
Remember The Jacksonville Jaguars laughing at the souffs team when they heard what their salary cap was? Here's the Florida based NFL team with a salary cap of 250 million making us look like knats.
Rugby League is starting to bore me with all this kind of talk.
P.S. and one more thing that's starting to bore me is this sole excuse "The government pokey tax is killing clubs."
Was this same excuse used to boot out the Bears or Steelers?
What excuse did they use back then to boot them clubs out to make way for Brisbane - we're not selling tickets to our games? No one is buying the hotdogs? Or we can't pay our electricity bills at Bear Park?
Did the pokey tax retire the bears, Steelers or Jets in the day?
What excuse did they use back then to boot those clubs out?
David Gallop is slowly selling the Sydney teams out!
The Sydney teams are a burden on the comp in his eyes, people!
The NRL favours all the interstate teams and wants a wider Australian participation involved at the expense of traditional clubs.
Whose side are you on, Gallop?
Gallop's a yes man to a higher order!
