I’m going to repeat this for you

in 45 years I’ve been watching this competition this is probably the second strongest it’s ever been

and the dolphins are a way better side than the crushers will ever be. That club will be worth 200 million within five years

They will be providing growth to the nrl for at least a decade

Theres the truth, and then theres the truth. Hes made some poor calls, sure, but the league as a whole is in better position now than it was before he took over. Not every league has to be the AFL or will be the AFL.

And the AFL was never going to sit around and just watch the NRL rise either.

CBA negotiations are almost never as terrible as media reports would have you believe, and all reports have it as almost done....sooo no big deal.
NSW Govt stadium thing...well that was just naive on his part
TV deal - could have been better, and his reasoning was downright stupid - BUT STILL A RECORD TV DEAL

Always room for improvement - as others have said, theres sponsor deals and an increase in rights coming this year. For all issues, theres still in record revenue, delivering big profits, building assets. Audiences are up, Support is up. Especially given the impact of COVID. Im not sure where the downside is really.

I think we all have to admit there has been some missteps, but the situation is far from all doom and gloom. The ARLC seem to be very bullish, to quote them " very ambitious plans for the next five years" and I think there is enough good news in there to not doubt them and to give them the opportunity to fulfil those ambitions.
V`landy`s and Abdo are no fools and I would suggest are extremely motivated, they will both realise their shortcomings to this point. I`m quite prepared to give both the benefit of the doubt thus far and see what unfolds over the next period before I write them off.

You do know that we can read your posts? if we were to believe many of your previous posts it seems that there is considerable shame in it.

Yes, unfortunately I suspect we will be being told soon 'there ain`t no second prize".

Shame is an internalized emotion. You may need to look inward if you're feeling it.

Yeh there was another pom that was commenting about Jimmy Barnes saying he hadn’t heard of him and he wasn’t famous in Australia

Just more evidence of pommie league fans (lack of) knowledge of the Australian game
