i know super league damaged my club, i know super league damaged alot of club and the game itself, but that era is OVER and has been for the best part of a decade, i think its about time people moved on and got over it.

He told the Broncos if you don't like it, start your own comp.
So they did. :lol:
No ARKO no Broncos or cowboys, knights or warriors for that matter
he was the one who was big on expansion his only mistake was not giving the brisbane franchise to the QRL if he had of done that none of the bullsh*t would ever happen. Things dont change even today under the comp and admin they wanted they still whinge and complain and want everything their own way.
Arko never killed any clubs, yet the likes of brisbane and the bastard clubs who sold their sole for the almighty dollar have the blood on their hands of Norths, Chargers, Balmain, Wests, Illawarra and the Western Reds.
It is the past and its time to move on but some people on this forum espeically the ones that live on this side of the boarder have very selective memories about those SL years.
We only have comprise because murdoch had more cash, the ARL comp of 97 was the one that captured the hearts and minds of most league supporters. ARL had the product but SL had the cash pure and simple.

It was the ARL that demanded the death of the Western Reds.... and the Adelaide Rams.....

Arko is a bloody legend. I love him.
He wasn't swayed by Packer's money. He gave the ARL peanuts!
What he was swayed by was loyalty to Packer. But that went out the window when it turned out that Packer could get the Super League FTA rights and a cut of Foxtel. Packer is a low life, scum bag.
The Broncos were nothing but a bunch of whinging little cry baby bitches back then. You can NOT defend them and if you do you are just a News Ltd groupie.
They never cared about rugby league, Queensland or Brisbane, they only cared about the Broncos.
And it was their behaviour that soured my support for them, which is a damn shame.
LONG LIVE ARKO!

Wests Magpies - kicked out but got back in via the courts
The NSWRL/ARL didn't want a 20 team comp - there would of been less Sydney teams under them as well (remember, the ARL started with a 'no guarantee' for all teams on them being invited into the next seasons competition).
you just dont get it do u materugged said:There was a big write up in the Sunday Mail today about John Ribot. Or as Ken Arthurson persisted in saying in his book as some sort of a putdown "John Ribot de Bresac".
Well I don't like Ken Arthurson because of his dislike for the Broncos. When I read his biography I kept throwing the damn book around the room.
There would have been no need for SuperLeague if the cronies from the NSWRL were more open to reform and change, and not just expansion.
And to whomever said those north of the border don't understand about clubs going under, well all of the Brisbane clubs are not what they were of course or they have merged or have gone entirely. And we got over it!
I wouldn't change the super league thing though because the best thing to come out of it was the professionalization of rugby.
