Lost of talk about strong clubs, fans, memebers, resources but we are only talking about pieces in the pie. The bigger the pie, the bigger the pieces
The strength of rubgy league should not be counted in days, seasons , premierships but overall
In my lifetime, the big 4 in the game that have really crippled the game.
1 SuperLeague
2 the seriously underwhelming tv rights contract signed by giddy up gallop
3 expansion
4 storm promise that ran approx 15 years where millions was paid to them every year to prop them up as a super league agreement. They were owned by news lts so it was merely a funnel of funds . There slice of the pie
The first 2 , well the speak for themselves expansion has been successful and unsuccessful
The slashing of perth for SL purposes
bronco dominence in SEQ. Contracturally it appears they were the demise of the crushers and also had an exclusivity agreement that restricted expansion in Brisbane when serious bids such as the east coast tiger franchise was unable to gain ground. Cut off the nuts like woolies running the butcher out of shopping centres
The broncos, and news ltd are always the alleged demoninator in our games woes and have caused waaay more money issues than covid.
But i see they are seen as the number one club........huh.
Not sure all franchise systems would allow the individual dominance at the expense of the whole pie. It doesnt make sense until you follow the money
