I think that ARKO had the best overview of the whole super league saga , when he thought that there was every prospect and opportunity to enhance the code , with both groups accommodating each other in good faith , and prior to the split . But Murdoch apparently just wanted total dominance and control . And there were 20 quite competitive A R L teams before the split , including the quite strong Manly squad of the mid - nineties or so . SO , yes it does just makes you wonder , what may have transpired without the super league war . Anyway even more reason to resent Murdoch "s actions at that time .
