By the time he leaves nrl will untouchable

I’d argue he’s already done enough with 20 teams plus Vegas and pacific cup
Agreed but we have to secure the player base to ensure that all clubs have decent rosters. As pointed out elsewhere, though, the clubs need to have strong administrators to ensure they are competent managers. The history of the sharks says hello.

New clubs would surely HAVE to get that as a right of "membership", otherwise you get two tiers of NRL club - incumbents who can sign-off on decisions (or indeed stall & effectively veto), and newbies who have no such say.

That would be sowing the seeds for a breakaway competition if we have enough newbies along with radical expansionist incumbents who agree with the newbies (and at odds with the other more conservative incumbents), then Superleague V2.0 is potentially on.
Agree, but haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere

Maybe they are coming to the realisation that there is not enough talent in the competition for 20 teams

Or just that the bids are shit. You could have 100 bids, but if all of them are shit, you don't just pick one.

Like NZ might have 4-5 bids, but if the one that wants 50% fan ownership is the best, you reject all of them.
