Quote: bonaire "See what you are saying but wont happen because logic says that the NRL will take over the RFL when the time is right and the first thing they will do will be to get rid of IMG if they are still in place and market the sport as it should be done like they do in Australia.
Cap increased in the UK and much more player movement between the two countries
Aussie clubs involved in a new Challenge cup competition and maybe even an Aussie magic weekend played in the UK
Sounds pie in the sky at the moment but if the NRL do get invloved you can expect things like this'"
I think the NRL would be interested in SL is because they’ll see untapped potential in places like London, Liverpool, Newcastle, Manchester but I think they underestimate how tribal sport is in this country and also just how entrenched football is. Existing RL fans even won’t get behind mergers and joint ventures like they do in Aus and people in the football towns and cities just won’t watch anything else. No amount of marketing will change that IMO.
