Unless there is another super league war union is dead in its current formatI’d never say “never” without a crystal ball. I remember in the early 90s League people were talking about taking over Union. By the early 2000s Union was booming and League was still struggling with the fallout from the SL war and my north shore Toff boss was talking about how he wished League wild hurry up and die. Neither happened. Currently League is booming and union is struggling, but things can turn around especially if unforeseen things happen.
super rugby was going ganbusters with 12 teams
but having a stand-alone comp in Australia is a fantasy unless it’s semi pro played before crowds of a few hundred
nrl is just getting back to where it was in 95 where it was basically untouchable
