Message: [QUOTE="Morepudding, post: 2919154, member: 8923"] Disagree. Yes big clubs bring in a lot of money and it may take a few years for it to reach full impact, but it would actually bring more money to the game. The reason behind this theory is lets say the Broncos got relegated, we would then want to watch all the BRoncos games in the second division still. Thus increasing viewership. As it stands 99% of the population don't give a rats ass about the NSW or QLD cup because each team has like 3 or 4 fringe first graders in it and the schedueling is poor. If after a few years where several regular nrl teams would have experienced some time in the second division people will build a stronger connection with those clubs. Similarly, this solves the need for expanding teams in brisbane, as we could use teams like redcliffe etc. Similarly, a team like PNG could make it in to the NRL. I am aware the transition stage would be complex, but i feel after 3-4 years of this, where you would imagine at least 5 current NRL teams would have experienced relegation (2 per year), it would start to see a growth in overall viewership, and also provide fans with stronger connections to their club. Some fans are extremely pasisonate about Redcliffe, or Burleigh Bears or PNG or Townsville etc but that support feels useless as they are unable to progress into a better competition. I have no doubt that teams like PNG / Ipswich would have been far more competitive than teams like the Knights, and even the Tigers at stages in the past 2 years. [/QUOTE]
