Where are the RL champions in the media shouting about how good SOO was? Why do so called RL writers talk down the game? You don't see AFL or RU writers belittling their sport. Why do RL writers put so much negative spin on a sport they are supposed to love?
Guys, guys!! All of whats been said so far is fantastic, bang on.
Don't forget at the root of all this is everyone is p.o'ed about sydney league in general, the small crowds, and the financial inability of the clubs to catch up with the rest of the comp, who could afford without a cap to keep the stars, and already play in great stadia (or adequate capacity venues..dairy farmers)...and everyone is getting jip of sydney holding back the other teams...
so you have a view on what could be great rl pretty much (even if we still had problems/challenges, these things always will be) in the non-sydney lands, and in sydney you have this view of drabness and dragging its butt, and just a general malaise about it. It distorts everything!
do you see why people get bitter?
FIX SYDNEY NOW!!!
AND
CHARGE FORWARD!!!!!
That will be the punch line at the next nrl meeting, hopefully.
