the top nrl players are on 1.2 to 1.5 million plus origin tests and sponsorship

It wouldn't be the death of RU though.

Besides SR is a failed product anyway. It's been a zombie for over a decade in Australia.

I didn't say go head to head with them in the school system, I said to use areas of the school system where rugby isn't wholly dominant. That would fit into your "be smart and find ways work around them."

Yeah we tried that here. It failed spectacularly lol. Wanna know what happened?

You know, you seem extremely one dimensional. Very strong "This is the way it's always been done" vibes.

Let them have internationals based on players who play overseas whilst league dominates the club game

that would be a massive win for us

League needs to up its international game to put it on a more level field. Internationals are a pull for Union that league barely has (particularly with its pretty loose eligibility rules). Being based around the best interests for the NRL clubs and by extension Australia holding all the power is a detriment not a strength of league to any player that is not Australian

It shows the small time mindset of wb1234. He wants the game to be big in NSW and QLD, and who cares if the rest dies. He regularly posts that he wishes the game would die in England, and only cares about the international game if he thinks he can use it as an insult against another sport.

Yeh true but Rome wasn’t built in a day

adding nz2 and png helps the international game

realistically I can’t see league overtaking union at international level

Only club comp level

The game in England and France is f**ked.

Our best hope is to grow our position in the South Pacific.

England is useless but they will get dragged along by the success of the nrl

there is a good core of clubs there but then the rest are holding the game back

rfl has a rough job bc it represents all clubs not just super league clubs

maybe 50 years down the track the nrl could add two English teams to its competition. One in London and one in Manchester. Totally bypassing the current club system

France has real potential. From the time the game was introduced in France to six year later it had surpassed rugby union

toulose is an obvious choice

other major cities in the south like Lyon and marseille

then maybe another merged club like Catalans from Avignon or another similar traditional area

So this sort of trolling is considered discussion on topic now?

People will get sooky about someone responding to these two dickheads but refuse to call them out for obvious trolling.

The smaller clubs should look at merging with one another.

Which is why the Super League will never have a club line Manchester United drawing massive crowds. It's too divided and is a glorified minor league for small regional teams.
