Message: [QUOTE="Accept, post: 2919289, member: 9095"] I touched on it a bit in my earlier post but it would mean a perfect home and away schedule (22 GP) rather than the current farcical method. It would also allow SOO to be stand alone which is a huge issue in the game atm. And just imagine the calibre of a 12 team comp, there would be no Nikorimas, Takarangis or Linnetts running around and the standard of play would be unrivaled and would probably gain in popularity because of it. It would also allow the NRL to increase the salary cup (if TV rights remained strong) thus paying our stars more and preventing defections. The networks could compensate the loss of televising top grade matches by adding some extra ISC games to their schedule (whose calibre would also increase). But of course, in order for this to happen, the culling or merging of Sydney sides would have to occur and as we know, RL fans are very tribal and many would walk away from the game. RL cannot afford to lose Sydney fans as they are still the life blood of the sport. NSW control the game and that will never change as the fan base here greatly out numbers any other location. This is all pie in the sky stuff, I realize, but less is better when it comes to RL in Australia as it is so badly saturated with 16 teams already, yet others talk of expanding to 18 or 20 teams which is just ludicrous IMO. Any rebuttals? [/QUOTE]
