There is only one solution to make rugby league a national sport. Kick all the Sydney clubs out and have an NRL team in every capital city, except Sydney.
TV rights will be huge with the potential audience of 20+million people and crowd averages will be better than any current Sydney club.
Less pokie dens and more sportsbet, TAB, ladbrokes, bet365 etc.
Better to have gambling money in the hands of the administrators of the national game instead of the greedy clubs.

Nice 8 to 10 team comp you can also play the regional Grand Final at Brisbane too

And down in Sydney the Bears can return on the Central Coast, Jets play out near the new Airport and as Newcastle is part of Greater Sydney they can play their own 12 team comp

Brisbane is the greatest place for rugby league according to ch9 commentators so it is only fitting.
Instead, the NRL could auction the grand final to the highest bidder and increase revenue even more.
Imagine a grand final played at the "G" with a crowd of 100k instead of a paltry 52k at Brisbane or 85k in Sydney.
Those self serving Sydney clubs with their self serving boards are just holding rugby league hostage.

Why are you holding the game back?

It needs more Singapore.

The GF should be at Jalan Besar Stadium... The capacity crowd of 7k will get that place rocking

GF in Brisbane is a mistake.

Like Sydney it is on the east coast and disadvantages WA and SA fans.

Should be played in Alice Springs, pretty much the middle of the country and makes transport equidistant for all fans.

Unless Singapore is admitted and then the GF should be in Indonesia.

It'd be the hottest ticket in town. Get the people that built the soccer stadiums in Qatar to build a stadium in Alice Springs. I can picture the drone shots of Uluru in the telecast. Have tourism Australia as one of the major sponsors. It would showcase the game to a worldwide audience.

Why stop at 2? More comps = more revenue. Each state to have its own comp which feeds talent into the NRL comp. These state comps will be propped up by TV rights from State and regional media networks as well as state governments. Crowds and clubs revenues will fund grassroots in their regions.
Sydney can have it's own insular comp which is funded by money launderers, alcoholics, pokie dens and knuckle draggers.

Each club should sell virtual tickets to their home games like main event which generates a link to a live feed to the game, with a percentage going to the club, the NRL, the broadcaster and the hosting site. These virtual seats should be added to the crowd figure and the virtual seats can be accessed anywhere in the world to anyone with an internet connection.
Huge potential for revenue for all stakeholders in our game.

Love it. The virtual tickets should come with $10 to spend at an online pokie den at half time tho.

This thread is the shallow end of the cookie jar.

I just won 1200 bucks on the pokies waiting for the Test match to start, thinking of slapping a pokie den in my back room at home.
Make sure you do that in NSW tho, cant be letting qlders profit from it, as they dont or ever slap coin in a dastardly slot machine, let alone a pokie den

A ten team Sydney only comp (bring back the bears) would have a higher tv deal than whatever the rest could come up with

the problem would be it would be the bad old days where Sydney clubs just take everyone else’s players and they revert to a feeder league
