Quote: karetaker "They don’t have the Premier league over there which is the biggest syphon over here, then we Have RU to compete with,and the flat cap brigade at the RFL all out on big dinners leaves nothing left for our sport, Big Nige needs to go and take that puppet Barwick with him.'"
They have the AFL and RU to compete with though.
The AFL TV deal and subsequently salaries are still higher than the NRL.
