Whatever they come up with is not going to work because there are always these idiots making decisions.

Everybody was happy with the fact that if you shoulder a player in the head you're either going to the bin or sent off. Then somehow the bozo in the booth doesn't sin bin crhighton on an obvious forceful shoulder to the head. Not to mention the exact same thing happened when these two teams played earlier in the year. The first was probably worse than the one on the weekend because it cost the warriors the game.

What system is going to change anything if the final decision is up to a bozo in the booth?

If it strengthens the game in Europe and aligns the international game then that’s a win for RL

Yes but it would be a financial drain for the NRL, at a time its planning on expanding both its own national men and women's competitions. The NRL may be in a stronger financial positing than the UKSL, but the NRL's financial resources are not bottomless, especially if the NRL's finances are tied into player collective bargaining agreements guaranteeing players a certain fixed percentage of it.

Clubs wont be overly pleased at funds going overseas either.

Would be better if the NRL just bought/funded the London Broncos. Hopefully agree they can't be relegated in exchange for not taking any funding.

London Broncos have the most commercial & junior player development upside of any of the English Clubs.

Broncos already have a rich owner who has invested tens of millions of pounds into them

Any review that doesn't result in the firing of Annesley can't be seen as a legit attempt to solve the issues. He's a major reason why the officials are so bad. His constant bullshit every Monday defending anything they do means they will never fix the shit as the message is that they are doing great.
