Problem is we have a big vacuum in leadership from the NRL on taking games around the country to boost crowds and grow interest in the game. At the moment clubs are left to their own devices to chose if and where they take games, usually soley based on bringing in a few more $'s. This has the effect we have a piecemeal approach with no opportunity to build ongoing interest, grow memberships of both teams and take the most appropriate games to the best places.
NRL needs to get its arse in gear and dictate what games clubs will be made to play in which cities when. The extra $1million NRL grant payment should be the carrot.
There is an over supply of games in Sydney, those lower drawing out of town games should be first to be moved.
Cairns - manly v cowboys, sharks v cowboys
Perth - souths v warriors, manly v warriors
Adelaide - bulldogs v broncos, St George v raiders
Hobart - st George v melbourne
Darwin - eels v cowboys, panthers v broncos
Gosford - manly v Newcastle, wests v Newcastle
Etc etc
Both clubs allowed to have membership booths, merch sales etc and have to spend two days before the game in the city promoting the game etc.
