Message: [QUOTE="papabear, post: 2884287, member: 8480"] After a post like that I am not sure you should be criticizing Rothfield. Every side has its advantages and disadvantages. The TV viewings is circular, the more you are on tv, the more fans you will get, the higher your ratings will be. Canberra would be one of the lowest rating sides on tv now, but that wasnt the case in the early 90s, its just what happens after you get left of tv schedules for 20 years. The NRL should always show the best product (best game) on TV to attract people to the game, not go for short term ratings, which is what the channel nine does. I am sure this will start to change a little bit as the NRL takes more control of the tv schedule. To compare yourself to melbourne is farcical, in an AFL city competing with 10 odd other AFL franchises to an NRL city which has one other garbage AFL franchise. Ask any businessman where would you prefer to open a new RL franchise melbourne or brisbane 9/10 would tell you brisbane. I agree brisbane do more travelling then Sydney sides, but so does every outside of sydney side. NZ squad isnt better then brisbanes. Brisbane has a very very good squad (imo like canberra) and imo like canberra this year they fell short on coaching. Atleast they didnt fall as far short as canberra did. [/QUOTE]
