Source? What was the ratings and how did they compare? Was it worth screwing the product and active fanbase for? We got more money after we dropped it. Sounds like your the only one convinced its coming back! Its much more likely to return, if ever, when the NRL goes to 20 clubs.
“We would have to carefully consider it,”
NRL CEO Anthony Abdo told News Corp.
“Having the nine fixtures is a great thing, it's more football for fans, more games. When it would be played, obviously, that would be a very strategic consideration."
"There is a whole range of factors that need to be considered.”
Fox Sports Executive Director Steve Crawley believes that even if more teams are introduced it is more likely to play an extra game on Sunday. You could definitely go to three games on a Sunday. If you can have a 2pm and 4pm game, you can have one at 6pm. There is a hole there,” Crawley said to News Corp.
As the introduction of a new expansion team is on the horizon, the NRL could see the return of Monday Night Football to accommodate all 18 teams across five nights.
