oh dear
as I thought .... cr@p from one end of your reasoning to the other
of course you know more then anyone don't you
what has the AFL starting up expansion sides got to do with the health of the NRL .... they are egotistical organisation that barely admits the existence of other codes , their arrogance will be their downfall .. they'll get their little red wagon fixed .. & fixed good in the coming years
oh & yes .. the alcohol fueled incidents have put a lot of people off watching the NRL this year hasn't it .... near record crowds despite the wettest season in 60 years .. record TV ratings .. Record membership levels ... 7 potential franchises down on bended knee begging to be a part of this great comp .. yeah thats a relevant point aint it
Danny F..ing Wicks .. what the hell , refer to the above again
Judiciary BS ... tisk tisk tisk .. opinions .. we all have them .. this is yours
there have been people disagreeing with judiciary decisions since .. oh I dunno .. 1908
we had a salary cap breach last year .. & it was dealt with .. & dealt with well .. maintaining the integrity of the comp in the way it was handled.... I'd doubt some other codes would have had the b@lls to do what the NRL did last year ... again another woeful example
& now you are a legal expert too are you ?.... no infringement laws have been broken .. don't comment on things you have no knowledge of or you'll just look like a bigger goose then you already do
is that it ?
F .. me ... I thought you may have something of note .. not just regurgitated garbage .. hearsay & opinions
the facts are these
our code has never been stronger ... & more capable of growth then it is right now despite carrying useless clubs like yours ... record interest at almost all levels .. expansion out of our comfort zone & into non traditional areas on the horizon ... & TV stations , agreeing with me .. not ill informed nuffies like you.. & on the verge of giving us a billion dollar plus TV deal .. what a great show of confidence in the NRL
we have some dead wood to rid ourselves of to really reach our potential
lets start with your mob
hell knows your own fans don't care ... why should anyone else
Arrogance on their point? You obviously need to read your own posts, You have more hubris than the AFL could ever aim for.
Near record attendances are not Record attendances. So the league was healthier when those records were actually set.
7 planned expansion bids including one from PNG who pay their players $500 in a test match. Yeah they have the finiances to launch a team in this climate and this game. All the huffing and puffing from Bids do not make the game healthier than its ever been. They dont want to add to the game, they want MONEY.
The alcohol fuelled incidents have caused sponsors to withdraw from the game. Caused members distress and provoke them on the idea of not ruining membership or buying merchandise while giving teams black eyes.
Wettest season in 60 years? No that was last year.
The AFL has a salary cap breach as well. But of course you wouldnt know about that because youre to dim-witted to open your eyes around you to the rest of the game and the different codes in Australia.
Essendon/AFL are considering legal battles if the Brisbane Bombers get picked as a successful bid. And im sure their million dollar lawyers have a much better grasp on copyright infringements than your stupid ass does.
The NRL is no more advanced than it was when it had 20 teams in the comp.
Nothing has changed. Youre just believing what the media is trying to throw down your throat.
They have their own agenda to try and push.
You dont think for a second the NRL would allow their
independent review of the next tv contract to say anything bad?
Of course not.
Cronulla, Panthers, Roosters numbers and support have been going down for quite a while, now the titans are going down as well while they try and Fib and make out everything is all peaches and cream.
When even the doggies which usually has the highest attendance numbers of all the sydney clubs go down.
How is the game in a better position?
yeah but those clubs have money .... members ... backers .. or are in the AFL's firing line so will get assistance from the NRL .. etc
If the NRL have to keep on propping up teams because they are in the AFL firing line. HOW is the game better for that?
If the NRL has to support Cronulla, which they have done in the past and have to do every year.
How is the game in a better position?
Shitty at the world? Why? Because my team is going like shit?

Youve been pushing your anti cronulla agenda all f**king week while claiming the nrl is in the best position its ever been in.
If it was really in the best position its ever been in, it wouldnt have not one, not two, not three but many more "dead weight" teams in the actual comp.
Your team drew 12000 on a Sunday arvo.
Your team is not immune from the downstroke the NRL has been on in the latter half of this year and in general.
Youre deluded if you think the game is on the rise.
Its just the fake sound of progress.
