The obvious one are Bulldogs letting Thurston go. Broncos not signing Cameron Smith, Billy Slater and Cooper Cronk. Bulldogs swapping Ennis for Lichaa. Then others like the Knights not wanting Latrell Mitchell. Adam Blair leaving Melbourne for the Tigers

an old one but a good one

Having a second set of books

Keeping the name rugby and generally losing interest in evolving further away from Union. i.e. retaining scrums, kicks at goals etc.

Keeping the name rugby.

I actually reckon keeping Rugby in the name is a masterstroke.. Like some new countries like Canada for instance just call both codes Rugby.

If we were called something different it would be such a hard sell to new frontiers.. . Imagine saying this is a new game called "Grunt Ball " its like Rugby.
Difficult sell.. This way just Keep the name Rugby and people know roughly what your talking about straight away..

Just about every decision the Dragons board have made in the last 20 years regarding Coaches signed and home grounds used..They really take the cake..

Re signing McGregor and Price was hard to cop.. Playing home games at other teams grounds is another doozy from the board effectively giving our home ground advantage to our opponents unbelievable! Keeping Doust in charge for 17 years.

Getting rid of ashes tours
Abandoning the games national footprint strategy in 1997 peace deal
Appointing Whoever couldn't work out a deal with Murdoch in 1995
Thinking old man campese and dck head Kelly could keep us in superleague

 

[Stallion]

The 1997 agreement to reduce Nrl team numbers was diabolical and reeked of a deliberate plot to weaken rugby league in Australia.
Apathy toward the international game and a lack of communicating the various injustices suffered by the game in other countries. Things like non recognition of rugby league being a distinct sport from union. And its subsequent lack of government support due to such reasoning.
Local senior rugby league competitions going to Sunday games which has impacted negatively on the games social /cultural relevance and player recovery time. And given other codes an advantage to attract players.
Theirs more but this will do for some major bad decisions on the local, national and international scale of things.

 

[Knightmare]

The decision to stick to 14 teams for 2000 and not let the Bears relocate to the Central Coast. So instead we got the Northern Eagles...and nearly 20 years later we still have a combined area that offers 1 million+ people and one of the richest districts in Australia left to rival codes, while people think a plastic second Brisbane franchise with SFA history or fan support is a better idea for expansion because Channel 9 and a game at Suncorp every weekend blah blah blah....

....Meanwhile the Titans (who got in ahead of the Bears because OMG QLD team) struggle for support or relevance after a decade...

And all this could've been avoided if the NRL had something resembling foresight...
