I'd like to explore why Wests-Tigers should get more money from the NRL than Brisbane
What is you logic here ?
It can't be travel or ThNF impact
We're not talking the huge discrepancies of say the top afl teams v the bottom here. On a closer scale. Why should the broncos - with all their advantages (and yes its done to maximise ratings and no the broncos [claim] they don't like it, you know, the whole 20M dollars worth of sponsorships thats related to that and all.....)
stuff the broncos; everyone is over the broncos complaining how they've got it the best, I bet....
Should we really be paying them the same when thats all the case - when they are determined to halt expansion, ect, ect.
As for wests - IF we are not going to shunt them off to adelaide or be a half-part of Perth, or central coast, ect, then I suppose we are keeping them.
So they need to be helped out.
When people read my plan, its not a flat rate plan of giving grants to these clubs, and it could well change year on year. It targets specific areas.
If I were giving out the money (and I am not haha) I would be doing so trying not to waste money and trying to save for expansion.
How dare you question his logic you toothless commoner! Jon Sipper is our superior and we must bow down to his superior intellect, our infantile bogan brains cannot fathom such genius
Excuse me, I am not one who requires adoration, like some narcissist. People like that have severe holes in their character.
Your sarcasm is misplaced here.
The reason Brisbane should get a smaller grant than each the other NRL clubs is that they get the capital of RL to themselves and they get to play almost every Friday night. That gives them unfair advantages that should be evened out by giving them a smaller grant (I would say 20% less).
^ This guy gets it.

I dont know why I quoted you twice - but is that superior intellect to you?
Arrrha! .... Think about it..... think...... Um, maybe it is, after all...
Yes, I think it is logical because its better use of funds. I am not sure who/which club you are aligned to - but maybe a relative is on the board of the club, a chairman, ect... in those cases no one sits round the Christmas BBQ and says "Gees! Can't wait to hand our competitors more money than us! haha! Long live Rugby League!"
Its more like "I hate the ARLC... evil ARLC... evvviiilllssss!"
Personally - in reality I think you are sympathetic to the NSWRL - and not because you could be from NSW.

Pick the person who has no idea of history and the causes of the Super League War.
I thought he made a decent point. Its all irrelevant now. Sure the Broncos were up in arms, but look they are covered more than anyone now. And no Quayle saying he openly wants Brisbane dead!
I bet you want to bring Quayle back.... it may be hard to fathom but I advocate both helping clubs and stopping them from harming the league overall. Many think its some kind of evolutionary rush to be the victor in a fight of survival of the fittest .... ahhh no. Its a league. Like the Peloponnesian League in ancient Greece or something.
Seriously the NRL clubs are just working out geometry, let alone how to be a proper 'league'. One that is cohesive and self perpetuating, and expansive. May be sacrifice involved. The 'higher' calling.
(If I can see this, and people can't - maybe I am superior? Greater than sum of parts stuff)
They had their damned CEO/Chairman trying to kill them not 25 years ago! lol
Maybe thats why the NRL are so keen to build up digital as much as possible.
Is it healthy for the code to be hijacked like that? By someone who has stated they want to try to assist AFL.
As sensible as it is to have a second Brisbane team or level out some of Brisbane's immense advantage we can't because News will threaten super league every time.
Lets build digital.
They should be going digital as a matter of urgency - correct.
Its about this time Diego will be bowing down to my superior intellect (but actually NONE of my ideas are original).
When news and others can serve you your head on a platter, thats not cool, when clubs dont want to release players or they are not using their players to make themselves their own money on their own sites, apps, ect, thats not cool.
Its all inclusive and builds on itself.
They could use that revenue and they could use the chance well to dictate how they are perceived more, and the league could use agenda/tone and direction of discussion that comes from packaging things, and of course balance and the way the world is post-truth/social media orientated, ect. Why leave the tone of the message up to a company with vested interests, a group that can't beat-out the AFL packaged stories of down south, ect. We saw how the NRL handled the last few years of trash from news ltd with statements on their site, ect. Not a bad effort.
Thats only one side of it.

BUT NO! When it comes time to talk about it, the people on here largely say the NRL is going the wrong route with funding, ect, and serves Grant right.... ect, ect.
That attitude is severely lacking. The digital is a priority and I think this will be dawning on clubs very soon.

BEFORE I do any of that above - I would like to find out how many brown paper bags, and how much is in them, is going round at other clubs to try and combat the likes of the broncos. Though I suppose the broncos were doing it themselves, were they not.
