Not going to lie, I'm so happy there's a rebel league starting. Hope it gets off the ground, the games needed this for ages. The N.R.L admin now have to make a choice, give the fans what we want, or get left behind. They either allow the aggression back in or the N.R.L becomes irrelevant. They've sanitised the game to the point it's becoming unrecognisable to satisfy the corporates for the advertising and media dollars. The game has lost its soul. Now the N.R.L can still ban bust ups, the Saudis won't, N.R.L can keep curbing the aggression for brain injuries, the Saudis won't. Players will take the cash and the risks and they'll play if it gets off the ground. It's win win. If the N.R.L doesn't adapt and get back to what the fans love, then just tune into the Saudi league. The other thing I love is since it's inception the N.R.L have allowed a comp of the haves and have nots with the non enforcement of the salary cap and 3rd party deals, I'm stoked that Melbourne, Brisbane, Bulldogs and Roosters are now the have nots aswell. Love to see uncle Nick try to compete with Saudi money, were going to find out how good the Roosters way really is if this thing gets going. The N.R.L needs the competition to wake the admins up so bad.
