Wonder why the never mention that fact when it comes to Bennetts' coaching career…It's always 20 years + at the Broncos or never lost a GF :blah :blah :blah
That's only built from the ignorance that the NSWRL evolved into the ARL. It may come as a shock to many, but it didn't. The NSWRL maintained a competition built within Metro Sydney(as it had since 1908), and the ARL proceeded in implementing a National Competition. The basis of a new national competition was created due to the large sums of money being offered and it was the ARL's intention to cash in (just like they wanted to cash in on the SL offer from Rupert)
When the ARL formed the National Comp for 1995, all the existing NSWRL Teams were INVITED into the new competition with other new franchises. All new contracts where formed, all new governance was formed, but someone forgot to form a new history book (probably through the ignorance of Arthurson. The same ignorance which tore the game apart 4 months in)
Prior to the Broncos, Qld would only view the NSWRL on the Saturday ABC game and Ch9 would broadcast BRL games as the game of the week. The general public up here didn't care about the NSWRL. It was simply a parallel competition to the BRL & Qld State League.
Sadly, Wayne Goss came along too late and without the pokie money in Qld prior, the NSWRL tore apart the BRL.
Now go back to sleep or iron your blouse!
Well that is interesting but all I hear is…...
