Message: [QUOTE="Kimlo, post: 3414867, member: 2021"] I don't know about anyone else, but I seriously enjoyed this week of league far more than another NRL round. To me it highlights that the NRL could have a real gem here if they work hard at promoting IRL and funding teams a b it more. I think instead of raising the cap by another 1m, raise it by 500k and use the rest of that money to fund IRL. I don't think an 11m salary cap improves the game much, but a 10.5m cap with the spare 17m going to IRL would do so much more for the game in the long run. [USER=9052]@BroncsFan[/USER] raised good points about what's needed to make IRL shine but the one thing he didn't cover is there needs to be more games. Money aside, having 1 game a year in the middle of the season is not going to convince people to play for 2nd tier teams over Aus/NZ. There needs to be an end of year rep schedule, even if it's just a 3 week mini tournament of sorts. Or have all 3 origin weeks as standalone and throw in 3 weeks of IRL with it. Cut the NRL season by 1 round to make up the broadcast difference in games. [/QUOTE]
