Quote: Fully "I’d cut out Australia.
They are self-interested and arrogant, don’t want to support the international game or see it grow, and they don’t give two figs about growing the sport outside of their NRL bubble.
My view is we say sod then and let’s put an international calendar together minus the Aussies. Gives more incentive for players to defect from Australia and NZ to the smaller nations, and let’s introduce fairer payments to make sure parity across the countries.'"
Mal Meninga is starting to change the attitude of Aussies towards International RL.
Listen to what he and his players have been saying since he took over. It may take a lot longer to change the attitude of their fans but Meninga has it right and hopefully after his reign the #1 thing he changes is that attitude from top to bottom.
