Message: [QUOTE="Steve, post: 2116894, member: 1799"] Nice post Coxy and you make some valid points. What amazes me is that you touch on factors the average fan sees, the big wigs refuse to see and other codes see. I guess touching upon your post the 3 most important things I see needing immediate attention are: [b]1. One governing body[/b] The AFL provides the ideal model. It has one commission looking after the game which makes the decisions. There are too many governing bodies in our game, too much duplication and too many egos who won't step down. Having one entity running rugby league is a must. Other codes must just sit back and laugh until their sides hurt. It's actually quite embarrassing. [b]2. Merge, relocate or fold[/b] The high concentration of Sydney clubs is holding the game back until this is rectified we'll keep going down the same path. There has to be a reduction in clubs in the Sydney metropolitan and suburban areas. Clubs that refuse to reconsider should be turfed. That might seem insensitive but I could care less. The current situation is killing the game. The good of the game has to be the number one priority. [b]3. TV rights[/b] Rugby league needs a better deal. Of course the competition has so many teams in Sydney it doesn't really have the bargaining power. Taking action in the above two areas give you the potential to address this problem. You're right there's definitely no quick fix. My hope is those in power can swallow their pride and do what's best for the good of the game. Because that's what it all comes down to. [/QUOTE]
