Gus is rights

I wish Gus ran the game

I understand and appreciate his patriotic point of view, but investing overseas is a much better business proposition. Gotta try cut in to those origin crowds

We need Gus full time here in Aotearoa NZ

Gud makes a good point

The NRL should go international. Buying the English SL would provide financial muscle for the game world wide. It is time.

I'd love to see a high quality second-tier league, combining state and Pacific leagues with some free-to-air TV broadcast.

Another team in NZ is a must. They’re building a new stadium in Christchurch. I was there earlier this week and it’s going to impressive.

The tiny in-goal area for Super League games is so weird lol never get used to seeing it

Hear me out… I think it would be cool, and more achieveable than you think, to have a combined English / Australian club competition. If half the teams are from Australia and half from England, and each team plays every other team once, half home and half away, that means that each team will play 75% of their matches in their own country. The 25% of matches that are played on the other side of the world can be done in a single “tour”. In other words, each team has one overseas tour which accounts for 25% of their season. Logistically, that seems pretty achievable to me.

It will never work, the time difference travel costs and players away from family too long. They could do a cup competition though but I think would require the NRL season to be shorter.

Everyone should come down and watch mascot a grade. South’s comp have had 5 wash outs

Well said Gus.

Yess NRL investment in Aotearoa NZ most definitely

Gal is so right. If you have ever had anything to with your local RL club with your kids. There is NO money.

Expansion really being pushed hard of late.

I wander what super league state of origin would be like what areas in Britain would that include. 🤔🤔💭

Likely Lancashire vs Yorkshire but it's been tried and fans just weren't interested. As usual the RFL half arsed it but crowds started poor and got worse so it only lasted a few years.

when you pay players more than they are worth, there is no money for anyone else. Greedy players have destroyed the game.

The NRL needs to invest more into country league.

Aswell as the NRL the administration also cover NRLW and national level touch.

Couldn’t of been said better

Gal is wrong that the best come to Australia. Guys like Rob burrow or Ryan hall or Leon pryce all would have been great in Australia and never came. Same with Danny McGuire.

How can the world grow if Australia rule it Phil?. The Bias nature already is off its head. Aussie refs, Aussie bunkers, Aussie Judicial system. I remember The Warriors won under Perenara as a ref and the cry from the Aussie public Because he was a kiwi was telling, pretty much had him sacked. Haven’t seen him since.

Gud is bang on about a rolling calendar, the club season needs to be shorter and something like this implemented: YEAR ONE: Four Nations: Aus, NZ, Eng, highest ranked tier 2 nation in World Cup - In Aus/NZ Pacific Cup: Tonga, Samoa, PNG, Fiji, Cook Islands, Japan, US - Winner in next Four Nations Euro Cup: France, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Lebanon, Italy, Greece YEAR TWO: Four Nations: Aus, NZ, Eng, Winner of Pacific Cup - In England/France Pacific Cup: Tonga, Samoa, PNG, Fiji, Cook Islands, Japan, US Euro Cup: France, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Lebanon, Italy, Greece - Winner in next Four Nations YEAR THREE: Four Nations: Aus, NZ, Eng, Winner of Euro Cup - In Aus/NZ Friendlies: Tonga, Samoa, PNG, Fiji, Cook Islands, France, Ireland, Lebanon, Scotland, Wales World Cup Qualifying: USA, South Africa, Greece, Italy, Japan, Serbia, Jamaica, Norway, Germany, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Malta, Russia, Spain YEAR FOUR: Rugby League World Cup

Super league is 2 county sport in UK even with the branding & support of NRL the quality & attendance won’t improve overall.

NRL would have the money to subsidize though which would make a massive difference especially if it allowed all super league clubs to reach the cap.

Penrith puts money into grass roots and develops talent and bang the salary cap comes along and Rips it apart . Is it worth it .

It is, and it isn't. Penrith is a footy factory, and they recruit heavily from the country as well. As long as those junior Leagues are producing players, they will never run out of talent.

@@stevvvvveperry The problem is the juniors that are developing their game in the lower grades have to be rushed into the top grade before they are ready . That was obvious on the weekend . Maybe each club should be given a country Area to develope using local juniors plus the juniors they have in their city area .

we need to build inside Australia first expand to other states, stomp out Rugby Union and AFL THE SUPER LEAGUE Super League : Europe Super League : Oceania

Aussies won't get the English sporting climate or the culture of those areas. It would be throwing money into a bottomless pit.

Most rugby league in Europe is England, particularly north west England. There is essentially no meaningful rugby league being played anywhere else. Rugby league will never compete against Football in Europe. The best bet is overtaking rugby union in state schools across the UK and investing in those schools in a way essentially all the 6N unions have failed. Or just accept that Rugby League is predominantly an Australasian sport now and just make your nations head and shoulders better than everyone else like the Americans have done with most of their sports.

@@user-xw5vq7nf2r I mean I don’t seen it happening. England are the only northern hemisphere team with the ability to compete against Australia, and even then that’s occasional. Rugby Union at international level is ingrained in the European sporting calendar. I can’t see how international rugby league could ever compete against that. However there is certainly the demand to see games club games and State of Origin. NRL should do some games or even have magic round in Europe one year and I guarantee fans would flock more for that than international rugby league.

Where is the money coming from? How much money will it take to develop and maintain 1000's of pitches on the East Coast of Australia, this is a stupid discussion. I want to see NRL Clubs benefiting from the players they bring through their youth system. Panthers created 30 dominant players and have lost out with over half of their 2020 team leaving to other clubs, I can bet that all of them did it for $, it is unfair on the time and effort the Panthers put in to introduce the players they have the last 5 years.
