SHRL = Southern Hemisphere Rugby League......Now that name takes in all current teams and any expansion down our end of the planet.

What the friggin hell is wrong with the name "National Rugby League" anyway? Demographically, it's more national than Ponceball from Melbourne!

errr its not a national comp! It is neither national in Australia and it includes another country so cannot be national even if Perth, Adelaide, Darwin and Hobart were in it.

ps the AFL doesn't call itself the NAFL does it? (although I quite think the NAF League fits it well!)

I would keep it as the National Rugby Legaue. The NRL has developed a good branding from it now.

I know there's no team from WA or SA but that will be fixed eventually.

By that logic, lets punt Canberra, Newcastle and NZ - lose 3.5 million fans. Insert Burnie, Margaret River and Katherine, and gain 30 000 fans.

That makes it national?

That makes it represent more Australians?

No wonder you can't find 13 players to make a first grade side!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course. We must copy the AFL. Let Willie Mason wear a singlet. Next time Vatuvei gets pushed into touch, give him 2 points for almost scoring a try. Next time Heather does a cut out pass, make him punch the ball instead.

If AFL is so wonderful, why don't you go and follow it????????????

i think we have to go further than this and change our name from Rugby League. across the world, noone knows the difference between rugby union and rugby league. and rugby union, being the more well known game, and it being boring as hell, we are fighting a very uphill battle internationally. The rugby part of our name has to go imo.
"Super League" would take care of that.

Aaah, so that's why you want to kill off every Sydney team! You are a traitor league fan!

I guess you have the low IQ that goes with it?

What question? Call the comp what it is. It is not National, simple. If you want to call it the National RL then punt NZ and bring in teh capital cities that would make it National. If you want to keep MZ and the Eastern seaboard only then find a name that reflects that. Simple enough for you?

ps your turn, are you on drugs?

Aaahhhh. So, regardless of how many zillion places there are in Australia, the only thing that makes the comp national is if it is played in the 5 state capitals. Yeah, and to hell with Canberra and the regionals.

Nice to know you want to kill Canberra, Newcastle, Titans, Cowpats, Warriors and the Illawarra part of the Dragons, so you can have the Reds back.

You are wired to the AFL bullsh*t. It ain't national if it's played in only 5 places.

Traitor league fan? It's because of the Super League war that I became a league fan.

I don't have a problem with the name NRL. The only way that should change is by dropping 'Rugby' and then Super League would be an option. It seems to work in the U K.

I don't recall wanting to kill off EVERY Sydney team. What I have said is 9 is too many.

It's easy to avoid simple questions and say someone's on drugs. But the question is valid. You state constantly that nothing can be national is it doesn't include Perth. All theories must stand the test of scrutiny. If you are to stupid or gutless to submit your theory to scrutiny, then your theory is crap, and so are you.

You can bitch and moan about how terrible it is that Perth doesn't have a club and Sydney's havent died yet. The fact is that I have a team to support. You don't. Read it and weep, troll.
