NRL faces major turmoil as clubs threaten breakaway league

[taipan]

yep and part of their expense is that they give to the poorer clubs.

Are socialism ,the AFL's honcho is Lenin not Polo Pete.
Or a 21st Century Robin Hoodism which is alive and well in Victoriania.

The AFL for starters.
There's not enough money for the NRL to function as it should - fact.
Maybe it's down to lack of sponsors, lack of an audience or other reasons.
I think the game is poorly run at the top end - poor scheduling of games and poor FTA coverage amongst other factors.
I also think that some clubs and players get preferential treatment by the NRL management.
A lot of people are becoming disillusioned with the way the game is being run - many who were big fans back in the day.
Take it or leave it - I don't care.

I knew I could count on you to be on the same page gUt, but the others I wasn't so sure about.

The amount of money in the game now is obscene compared to 25 years ago...

I don't get the doom and gloom...

Nothing is further from the truth dude.

It's well known that you are mate.

Dare to compare NRL to afl and you're gonna get the AFL troll response, it's like an auto text for LU.

Particularly the ones that parrot the "AFL is the greatest sport in the world" whilst at the same time are saying that NRL is at deaths door...

 

[ed-grimley]

For the record I loathe AFL and everything it stands for.

So explain to me how the NRL is "povvo" compared to your beloved AFL moneywise?

Povvo would insinuate that the NRL makes a 10th of the TV dollars that AFL, or has less than say 15% of its TV ratings.

There is no arguement that it's total revenue is less, but "povvo" is trolling in the extreme.

As above f**kstick.

Your constant death riding of anything Rugby League related, really backs up the whinging Pom stereotype.

 

[Perth Red]

That's ok, you're inability to have a decent debate reinforces the stupid cringe worthy loud mouthed ocker stereotype.
