Not so bothered about the fans, most union fans look down on league and not likely to swap. I want the jnrs! If theres only one Rugby (sic) for them to play in WA then we will get more of the kids who are attuned to playing a contact sport over to RL.Depends what happens to the would-be and potential consumer after you bury the competitor though.
Your product shouldn’t be dependant on burying competition. Matter of fact it should be strong enough to sway would be and potential consumers from the competitors over in an authentic, organic and genuine way. IE our product is superior in multiple facets such as costs, travel, family, entertainment and general engagement between product and consumer.
It’s smarter to use those said strengths to pull the would-be and potential consumers over then risk simply burying a competitor and then those same would be and potential consumers actually end up going to another competitor instead of your product IE. Western Bears crush Western Force but then the Force fans jump over Dockers or Eagles in AFL as opposed to Bears in the NRL.
Commercial chess and Rugby is doing a fine job in its own self implosion here. We don’t need to waste energy or time for them. Spend that energy and time growing/strengthening our own game/product.
Giving union, a sport that has tried to sht on league for over 100 years, a bloody nose in the process is just the icing on the cake.
