Great stuff. I will get one in town. Had a bit of a push from the Broncos as well about this. They got wind of the problem and have raised it with the NRL.
Elbusto, have skimmed through this thread and you are obviously one jaded, disillusioned unit. Which is fair enough considering fruitless efforts of untold hours.
But I think you got a hint of how to approach things from the fella who contacted Mascord...how easy was that! And to be honest you shouldn't need that idea/contact to come from this forum. You guys need to make some noise, market your case and gain public and even political support (I say 'you' but mean you and the other remaining Tazzy league stalwarts).
When I read your post saying none of your emails were being responded to by the NRL, my immediate thought was that you should stop feeling sorry for yourself and 1) get on a plane to Sydney and demand a meeting or if that is not your cup of tea 2) get someone else to advocate, someone whose emails will be answered, who can represent effectively.
Surely there must be some business leaders, political leaders, ex NRL players, marketing gurus in Tasmania who are passionate about League and would help out to advocate for more support for Tazzy from the NRL. Sounds like the advocacy bit is not your strong point, which is fine as you are no doubt contributing in many important ways, but instead of moping, find some advocacy 'champions' and get them to strategize/operationalize a campaign for support.
Hope this helps a little, and keep up the good fight.
