Consider it from the view of the players- especially State of Origin and International players. As if their season isn't demanding enough with all fixtures in regular season, plus cup games, plus SoO, plus 4 Nations... and now the idea of adding in more games coupled with the idea that clubs will have less money anyway which could affect wages and squad depth/development which is ideally what the said players would want to give them a break at some point in the season?

Do you follow the Sharks Phipps?

Not under this username.

Great thread BTW.....show's there's life in the boards yet and now certain posters seem to have vanished, the RL fans can get back to discussing RL as it is, not as it could be if the Wizard of Oz ran it.



I wouldn't read too much into that article....NRL will expand, Perth is next then it's between BII and CC Bears for the next spot, then maybe NZ II and in 2058, PNG .

Who'd of thunk it?

Sheldon I was hoping he would admit to being a Sharks fan just to definitely confirm what I have thought(and everyone else) all along.
