Its already a two-tier competition. Why not just formalise it?Daddycool08 said:The South Sydney (SS) club IMHO will continue to go from strength to strength. No one will be able to compete with them.
This is no misplaced loyalty for South Sydney by the way. But with the wealth of Packer I foresee 25 third party deals that won't get counted in the salary c(r)ap. Along with the CEO Smith saying he'd break the c(r)ap to keep certain SS players.
In a few years unless something changes I'd say no other team except for maybe Brisbane, Melbourne, Easts or Dogs will have a chance of keeping up with them.
The rest of us will simply make up the top eight, unless we operate a rival league with teams like Manly, Balmain, Wests, Newcastle, Norths, Newtown and maybe a few others that would like to leave the NRL.

The only trouble is that pesky Manly club. 1st tier football standard, 2nd tier Home ground, TV ratings.
