I would like to see the NRL demand changes to the structure as part of any license renewal.
Demand a restructure of the ownership structure with open board elections and an opportunity to hold the current incompetents accountable.
I'm against for a number of reasons:
-this proposal does not consider people's attachment to the team - it would simply reduce fans base, e.g. North Sydney -> their followers are lost to the NRL, similar goes with the Souths, until they were resurrected!
- relatively small number of people support the league first, and t the team second! I don't watch the "origin" for 20 years - from when they change the rules - to the "Origin rules". Simply I just follow the WT and don't care or watch any other team or representative game - if I watch sports I watch NBA, NFL, soccer, tennis, UFC, box etc.
- why would anyone support a team without history?
- the Super league tried and disappeared within 3 years, when they finally realised the tribalism is important.
- the WT, and ST George/Steelers shall have the least to wary as they already merged in 1999. Before anyone even think of this stupid Ribot's idea, everyone else must be merged!
