So what will the NRL do differently to address this stadium issue ? One place in the world not lacking for rectangle stadiums is London I would have thought ….
Nothing it’s up to Lockyer to try and sort them out

Pvl will increase funding to clubs which helps

I think Pvl knows he can get more money from pay tv and hope to get some of that for us plus sell more nrlwatch subs to pommies (he said a million which is obviously bs)

can’t see English clubs giving up control to us so see what happens

Yes ..the funding will be increased no doubt … they should have a bigger salary cap …the owners will still need to spend on junior development and other expanses though …

Your last point is the big problem …

it’s this sort of detail which is still lacking- ownership structure… funding … the big stuff

It’s kind of a wash

they both have similar number of pro clubs per person

around 550k

the issue with expansion in England is they’ve never had money to put into it

if they did then sure Newcastle Liverpool Manchester Sheffield would work

even union gets like 6k crowds for sale in Salford and Newcastle which isn’t bad for non rugby cities
Yeah but Rugby Union has always had a sort of semi popular presence in the Newcastle suburbs of Gosforth and surrounding areas.
