What is your most unpopular opinion about the NRL?

Sunline -----> Winx

 

[Foreign Legion]

Every week is a new jersey week and clubs are complaining about lack of revenue... But the clubs can't be arsed to draw more people to games... (more fans into games means more money $$$)

 

[Last Week]

Nick Politis, Ray Dib and Phil Gould are holding Rugby League back.

 

[POPEYE]

That the NRL don't reward clubs enough, by way of bigger salary cap exemptions, for introducing new talent to 1st grade. Concessions should give clubs a head start in negotiations to keep one club players

-The quality of the game is better now than it has ever been
-I don't think that players should receive a punishment if they test positive to a recreational drug
- Rep round is one of the best weekends of footy all year

Ooh here's one

Wrestling is a non issue, a lame excuse by teams that can't crack the Storm defence for years on end

 

[leaguelegend21]

Jonathan Thurston's involvement at Coffs Harbour in 2002. People like forgetting that.

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

AFL is more popular

I think we might have a winner...

Some of these are not really unpopular opinions.
In fact, some of them are incredibly popular opinions that I hear all the time.

 

[Knightmare]

There are:

a) Too many alternate jerseys used by each club in a season and,
b) Too many varying sponsors on the club jerseys

Yeah I get it, sponsors equal $$$ for the clubs and the game but seriously- plastered on logos that ad another 4 or 5 colours to the teams' jersey (*cough* Dragons *cough*) looks completely amateur-hour and makes it difficult to distinguish an NRL jersey from the kit of a bush footy club.

Every club should be permitted a home jersey, away jersey, Indigenous round and heritage jersey and f**k the rest off. And f**k the sternum sponsors off too.

It's shit like this (amongst other stuff) that makes the code look unprofessional...

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Ben Afflecks DareDevil was the best superhero movie ever made...

 

[T.S Quint]

Not sure if this one is unpopular or not, but I don't see it mentioned much around here...

There are too many games each season. At least a quarter of the games each year should be gotten rid of.

Obviously you've never seen Spawn.

 

[gitano]

Talentless athletes who can lift a bit and run a bit. The ones with not much coordination or actual ability who seem to go ok now. The game has become over coached and boring.

Latrell Mitchell is a match winner, just not for the Roosters.

Big empty stadiums on TV. Bit hard to convince people to start following the NRL when chook raffles at the bowling club get a bigger turnout.

Our game slowly being taken over by softcock fans and the over reaction of NRL HQ to any incident. Punches and spear tackles are part of our fabric.

Or the other six blokes because they were never named.

Then again all of the cubicle boys were all forgiven and that didn't affect their careers in the slightest.

 

[POPEYE]

Obviously you've never seen Spawn.

Obviously you've never seen Deadpool . . . and how you been ol'mate

 

[Spot On]

That Cameron Smith has had the refs over a barrel for years and he now has the entire game's nuts in a vice.

Bloke is running the whole show both on and off the field and there ain't nothin' anybody can do about it.

The NRL has created a monster and he could very well see off a couple of the games most senior administrators if the RLPA and clubs stick solid.

What a bunch of dunces at league headquarters.

I'd like to give Cam some credit but how f**king stupidly dumb, blind, inept, useless etc has the Commission been since its inception that we now find the game in the situation it's currently in.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Ok I've got a couple.
1. Melbourne should be recognised winners of the 2007 and 2009 grand finals.
2. Vossy is a terrible commentator
3. Paul Gallen and the rest of the drug cheats should of been banned for 2 years
4. Introduce a 20/40 rule to go along with the 40/20

Demanding cheats from Melbourne be recognised but demanding that cheats from Cronulla are not?

Nah

 

[POPEYE]

Demanding cheats from Melbourne be recognised but demanding that cheats from Cronulla are not?

Nah

Cheating players or cheating clubs, that is the question . . . I suppose we'll have to face the fact 'Dugans and Birds' are the accepted way . . . most people at least

Yes, unfortunately, the thread title is a bit confusing.

Maybe it should read "What is your most unpopular aspect of the NRL?"
