The longer fans try to hold onto these declining Sydney clubs while letting our heartland state's and Country (nz) wither and die because of lack of expansion in cities waiting for the code to wake-up, the quicker the game goes backwards.
I have opened a can of worms, a can of woop=ass on the other thread about Sydney clubs holding the game back.
They are going backwards, 10 thousand and 15 thousand to blockbuster games, if you think that is growth then your one-eye is clouded.
Clubs can drop back to the NSW cup, and if they cry about that then bring in relegation for just the Sydney clubs.
Either way, it has now become apparent that Sydney is now holding the growth of the NRL back.
No more blind freddies, no more Manly brawls, no more Burgess and fifata and williams to union.
These players are killing our fans base and killing our support.
People are getting sick of reading about players leaving the game.
Sydney has lost control of the game and the players.
It is time for operation crack-down.
Any player who mentions union is automatically released or fined or both.
All player transfers will be done after the Grand final, any player leaving for union is gone then. no more hangeroneerers stealing the next players pay-packet who wants to and loves our game.
Why are we paying Sonny Bill Burgess and now Fifita, who are all going to union.
Our code needs to change the way it thinks, and the way it operates.
The media need a big wake-up call as well.
A clean out.
Until this happens our code will continue to go backwards, lose players and viewers.
They are leaving because they are bored with the same reports same press , same player loss to union , every year it is the same practise.
Ex-league players also need to be muzzled, their are too many doing damage by thinking they have a voice.
