Gf why are you bringing Bradford into it? It's irrelevant who FA supports.
If NRL is as small as the picture you paint the surely he has a point and the NRL board has done wonders in getting a tv deal so big.

I really think it's time Super League was replaced with National Rugby League UK and appoint some NRL senior staff or set up a similar commission as from my perspective this game at national pro level is been run into the ground.

I recall when Brsibane Broncos were attracting big crowds that they tried via Barry Maranta to weave the NRL magic on London Broncos. Despite some early promise look how things turned out. Until the wider British public gets into RL (and I see no prospect of that ever having given the contary vested interests and lack of finance in the game to kick start a massive and sustained promotional campaign) then whatever management there is the result will be the same.

what you fail to mention in your OP is that:
1. the salary cap is going up as well so clubs will actually only be $50k better off if they take the money
2. it is an advance interest free loan for clubs that are skint, not an increased payment
A number of NRL clubs are financially struggling as much as some SL clubs despite the $billion TV deal they just signed.

I am looking at it from the perspective of the rugby, the standard of play, the quality of the teams, the attendances they get, and the amount of money that the players, especially the top players, can earn. This attracts commits and retains a large proportion of the best and most talented athletes, and in turn the crowds pay to come and watch them, as the quality of the comp is the best there is.
However if you are suggesting that at the same time, NRL clubs would all be run as some profit-making business and their directors all jetting off to their condos in Hawaii, counting their profits - WHY? NRL is no different to any major sport in the world - the attraction for rich people is to own a top club and throw a bunch of money at making it the best or trying to. |

Last time I heard, the NRL which runs the game there did not own or run any particular club.

GF is going on about Bradford because he's obsessed with the club - you should have a look at the bilge on RA&B.. |

Whilst no one can argue the NRL isn't massive in Oz the two markets are very different. NRL and afl are pretty much on equal footing where as in UK soccer is totally nationally dominant. In Oz the TV stations are desperate for sports content to drive their audience share so pay big money, in UK the fta TV stations have pretty much given up trying to show top level domestic competitions, Oz has only 6 major cities and RL is number one sport in 3 of them. RU in Oz is a joke and no competition to RL unlike in England, ignore gutters he has no idea on the strength of RL in Oz, he is so delusional he thinks S15 is even close to the popularity of NRL even though they can't get on fta, have only 5 clubs and the TV audiences for s15 are smaller than the nrl's U20's competition lol.

Get a BBC & premier Sports deal similar to the World Cup going and get rid of SKY.
That's one way to get the wider public seeing RL.
