I've been reading this forum with much interest for a while now. Im yet to comment much because I cant add much value to the discussions at this stage.
The last few threads have gotten me inspired to say something...Particularly the new commission, the TV rights and membership (Fight club has been entertaining for the perspective of other codes supporters... and their dribble)
RL is at its lowest point right now in terms of money, supporters & participation as a lot of people would have you believe. Yet to those that follow the sport closely we would say that we are on the cusp of a ground breaking period of revenue & growth...
For all those that know the game intimately, RL has been through a lot... a hell of a lot. We have been through so many tough periods and always come out the other end stronger. From its inception where RL had to adapt to survive to the Super League war...
I think its important that those that believe in the history & future of RL have a responsibility to re-invest in the game and make sure that we encourgae everyone to do the most that they can. Including the following;
These are the positive things we can do to support our game. Lets focus on this and make it the best we can. If it comes at the cost of other codes so be it but that is not the focus.
Rugby League has frequently been called the toughest game on the planet & we all know it. Everyone on this forum has a job to do to make it the best it can be.
I look forward to seeing you all at the games... Please add to this list, lets see how we can make this sport better than it already is!

- Watch only TV networks that show RL
- Buy NRL supported products where possible
- Participate in Market Reasearch (you get paid anyway...)
- Become a member of your club (in any format)
- Go to the games
- Talk about RL to colleagues & friends
- Take new people to the game
