What blinkers mate,
You know, the one's that filter out anything anything that doesn't put the NRL in a good light.
All of this disregards completely the sheer volume of players currently playing overseas in both rugby codes who could otherwise easily play here.
In your blinkered opinion.
but they're not playing here are they and it defies logic to suggest they'd knock back all that loot if they were good enough.
You've just bolstered my earlier point about the Australian content in the NRL is getting severely diluted.
and yes it does matter at a participation level, the long term future of the game.
On top of all that, league has one precious thing going for it that AFL doesn’t when it comes to a requirement for a player pool: one big chunk of it does not require anything but toughness and body type.
At bare minimum AFL players require skill. You can’t play without it, even the much maligned ruckmen need some of it so it is going to narrow a player pool to some degree.
There will always be places in the NRL for 3-4 guys in every team who can simply ‘be big and run straight.’
Bahahahahaha here we go
Ah yes the old ‘you have to have a side.’
You do know I maintain pretty much the same arguments for the AFL, right?
There’s lots of things about the NRL that don’t put it in a good light: it’s utter refusal to do anything about the piss poor refereeing situation. It’s diabolical stance on some of its rules both in terms of game play, and foul play. The judiciary is a joke.
Is this supposed to mean that I have to agree with you, is it?
You said it. That's why i laugh when somebody mentions skill and rugbyleague in the same sentence.
But the player pool is some much larger to start with.
FYI, the the likely introduction of the last-disposal o.o.b. kick, ruckmen are even less needed.
And THAT is where the product suffers. Not much attraction in that eh what.
I have absolutely no idea what you're attempting to say.
I could easily add a long list to that.
I have absolutely no idea what you're attempting to agree to.

Who cares
You see this is why I suggest that you are blinkered - because you are blind to the consequences.
At participation level a lot of people care.
Are you not aware of this ?
I bloody warned you.
