Thursday and Monday nites are great little money spinners for the code.
The problem again is scheduling.
Thursday nites need to be at the beginning of the year, when we are all salivating and craving league.
Monday nights need to be banned from the Origin series weeks, and used more towards the end of the year when the NRL knows who will attract a crowd and who wont.
The fix schedule allows for 20 weeks to be fixed, then they decide the last 6 weeks towards the end of the fixed schedule.
They really need to get this right and we have a ball game.
Monday and Thrusdays are a goldmine for the code, you take that away and other codes will pounce.
That is the trouble, we are locked in again to a terrible deal, which we had no choice but to sign to get rid of nine off our back.
Give it time, bring in the bunker, the shotclock, the student rent a crowd, because lets be honest, the clubs still dont sell their games , they sit idle like stale bottles of piss and watch the world pass em by.
We need leadership, and the Eels are leading the change.
