Love your work.
But please feel free to elaborate.
If you know how.
Pretty much what the captain said.
Thanks Cap.

The sport makes millions a year and returns nothing to the community. As soon as pokie taxes were mentioned the first things threatened were the community services that the social clubs provide. I can't see why the taxpayers should fund a venue for this business any more than they should fund a new Westfields shopping centre.
The government could concentrate on funds for the areas that are now neglected by the sport - junior clubs & facilities.
Gallop was never the alternative. You never go back. The commission let him go for a reason. I.E. to get a better CEO. Unfortunately they didn't succeed, or succeeded marginally.
The game is only a laughing stock with comments like yours Oinkee. Who cares what a game show host thinks?
This code has never been at the bottom of the ladder. It has always attracted better crowds than both Union and Soccer, better TV ratings than Victorian Football and was looking to expand effectively until the disruptive and insidious Super league debacle.
And who has suggested that anyone wants to rid us of the independent Commission? I don't.
I just want to see that two blokes who have put themselves into a position of power, do their jobs. It's just my strong conviction that they aren't and cannot and need to be replaced with people with better sports management skills and can engage to clubs, players, members and fans. Clearly that's beyond Smith and Grants capacities.
Forgetting that NRL revenue is $300 million compared to National GDP of $1.5 trillion, yeah, the NRL are the ones with cash to burn....
When the arguments are coming from idiots it's impossible.

You'd think someone with over 40 years of business experience at the high end would be able to master the simplicity of the f**king quote function on an Internet forum.
The NRL is a not for profit, the fact we are on a forum discussing a game we are entertained by watching every year is evidence of its value to the community, just as is everything that stems from it, like participation.
