Consider it from the view of the players- especially State of Origin and International players. As if their season isn't demanding enough with all fixtures in regular season, plus cup games, plus SoO, plus 4 Nations... and now the idea of adding in more games coupled with the idea that clubs will have less money anyway which could affect wages and squad depth/development which is ideally what the said players would want to give them a break at some point in the season?

You would think more potential employers would be a positive for players.
According to the report only 4 out of 10 are against the idea of expansion though. |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Why would it mean more games ? , with a play off system there is no real requirement for everybody to play everybody twice
Or they could always bring in a conference system , or even two leagues with promotion and relegation  |

Good point, could provide longer careers in NRL for Aussie/NZ players and have less of them coming to super league aged 30 and cashing in, and [icould[/i then help UK players to develop as gaining more experience in SL.
Do you think the 40% were mainly the SofO and internationals i mentoned though for the reasons stated? |

It wouldnt mean more games for players as the teams dont play every other team home and away as it is. There is currently 16 teams, and I think each team plays 24 matches and has 2 byes.

Relocate? As much as I hate to say it, Cronulla could go to Adelaide, Penrith somewhere like WA?

nrl teams dont play every other team home and away, so adding new teams wont change anything in regards to the number of games |

[quote="The Reason":3e09qe5x]Hi Andy
The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

It's a double edged sword in my opinion.
It [icould[/i help stop 30 year old Aussies coming to Superleague (although I think the exchange rate will do a better job of that anyway) but it might open the door for the best British talent to try their luck in the NRL if there are more jobs available. |
