    AUSTRALIAN Rugby League chairman John Chalk has dedicated a lifetime to the game but he is in danger of being remembered as the man who single-handedly stymied the formation of the independent commission.

    I have heard that very thing Wheel. I'd support it as I think Gallop would then be history. With a 'Commission' I believe he has been given back his job for three years guaranteed.

      The problem for a lot of clubs I have heard is that the NRL owns the trademarks, the logos etc, the names of the teams - so it would be a bit of a marketing gamble.

      Market it simply as Australian Rebel League.

      "News Limited (publisher of The Australian) threatened to go back on its agreement to exit the game as part of the commission's formation and stay on for a further five years"

      Surprise, surprise. You can always trust News Ltd to be untrustworthy.

      If the exit were clean and legit, they wouldn't have any say in who the commissioners are.

      Imagine how good our game would be if it wasn't always trying to kill itself. BTW I don't have the answers to the games problems but it seems people are too busy looking looking after themselves instead of the game. Old mate in story "dedicated life to game", sounds like he's been milking it for a lifetime.

      Just get someone like Rupert Murdoch to bankroll it. They can get their money back through the marketing / broadcast rights. Win / Win.
