The Bronco advantage

You forgot the Pride of the League Vermin who can manipulate every policy that comes out of the NRL for "post life footy".

Aha thats right

I can see the dogs heading that way as well

Correct - his level of media influence is amazing.

I like some of what he does but you are dreaming if there is no agenda behind the majority of what he pushed out

Spot on.

I just don't get his intellect where he is dead set against the head protection protocols for the current day players.

The NRL really should be dominated by a few teams
1. Brisbane. Historically one team town who also, apart from the games listed above, are pretty much on free to air TV every single week which results in increased $ and a consistency of preperation
2. Parr. Considering their potential player resources
3. Panthers. As above
4. Roosters. Uncle Nick and the $ involved

The fact that any other teams manage to compete is remarkable to me. Also the fact that the Broncs won their last grand final in what 2006? And have been to one decider since then...and then there is Parra who, and it is a guess, would have been close to having junior representatives in almost every single grand final?

I’d add NZ to that list considering they have a whole country and South Pacific islands to choose from

Fair call

So 6/7 teams should be well ahead of the pack

Why should Magic Round be in Brisbane every year? Why not at Homebush (what is Olympic Stadium now called?) which has greater crowd capacity? Not that I would attend. The ground is a poor viewing one for rugby league, but it is the home ground of several Sydney clubs and much closer to the fan bases of more RL teams.

Money, money, money……

Bingo, the NRL signed a multi year contract to hold it at Suncorp.

Just like the Broncos having plenty of their home games on Friday night at Suncorp, all courtesy of Ch9 and the power they hold over the NRL.
