Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 2404954, member: 1769"] The clubs demand for a raise in the grant is ridiculous IMO. Yes we are likely to have a much higher TV rights deal in 2013 (but remember until the contract is actually signed the amount remains speculation). but that is not for another year. they clubs are simply jumping the gun. Personally i hope the NRL do withhold the grant payments until they have signed a new contract, why give someone money if they possibly won't be with you during the upcoming season. And spending all the money in the NRL's coffers won't do any good to anyone involved with the game. Not only will there be no money for the grass roots of the game (which if it isn't nurtured properly, the NRL will either be dead or severely weakened in 5-10 years), but it will effectively tie the new IC's hands and not allow them to do what needs to be done for league in Australia to allow it to continue to prosper.
