If you are soooooo concerned about the CRL then coverse with David Gallop via email about injecting funds into bush football
Ha ha ha.....What a cop out. The NRL has
no concern about the game at grass roots level
or for its fans...The NRL, the same as ALL Sporting bodies at the elite level want to suck everything from the grass roots Clubs, its fans and put NOTHING back.
The TV rights deals in NRL and AFL being an obvious case. Does the elite sport belong to the NRL, ARL, AFL, ARU, FFA or does it belong to the fans?
Denying financial assistance can, and will, only last for a short time before the game starts to decay from the bottom up.
Implementing a fine instead of suspension for finals series is away to keep everyone happy. Players, Clubs, supporters and if the money is channeled back, Clubs at grass roots. Where is there a problem?
Win - win it seems to me...And you won't convince me otherwise..
