Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 2919247, member: 8423"] Yes it will solve it IF it is handled correctly. The NRL doesn't know how to handle ANYTHING correctly though unfortunately. Get out of the massive stadiums for teams who shouldn't be there. Let the Tigers play out of Leichhardt. Punt the Roosters, they offer NOTHING to the competition other than stealing every other club's juniors and stockpiling international squads without a salary cap. You don't need so many Sydney teams BUT you don't even need to cut that much out of Sydney. Simply do four things: 1. Cut back the costs of tickets and food, etc at the ground and provide an 'experience' every weekend - have local entertainment, competitions, games, etc - get people seeing why going is better than watching on TV 2. The teams that still have no supporters get the punt - give them one season to comply 3. Even if it results in less money - punt channel 9 from hosting rights - get rid of all these agenda driven blockheads and replace them with actual professionals 4. Get Newscorp to actually promote the product that they are already heavily involved with by getting rid of all their gossip columnists, ALL of them and replacing them with professionals, young graduates if they must but ones who can leave their idiocy at the door, also put your ex-player 'experts' on the outer rims to provide just SOME comment, not regular central roles Then, add Perth as your biggest priority. It is set-up and ready to go now, just needs a 'golden ticket' as mentioned earlier. Then, add a second SEQ team but DON'T call it Brisbane 2, call it Ipswich / Logan / whatever, give it its own identity. Go with 18 teams if you need to for a season or two and then cut the two most useless Sydeny teams - Roosters + 1. If the Sydney teams respond, punt the Titans, the Gold Coast is just a vortex for any sporting competition. You are back at a 16 team comp. Keep: 1. Broncos 2. Knights 3. Storm 4. Cowboys 5. Warriors 6. Raiders 7. Penrith 8. St George 9. Manly 10. Cronulla 11. Canterbury This way you have regional representation without cutting the heart out of Sydney (for whatever reason we need to this for apparently anyway) Add: 12. Perth 13. SEQ Preferably also add: 14. Adelaide - this is not a priority right now but the Titans could eventually be shifted there if they sink and re-named or re-located - think about this within five years 15. Central Sydney 1 - South Sydney - strong supporter base 16. Sydney 2 - Balmain / Parramatta / Roosters (whichever swims, the other two - goodbye) BOOM you actually have an affordable NATIONAL competition. [/QUOTE]
