Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 2742557, member: 1769"] the NRL must be the only sporting competition in the world (or business for that matter) that is determined to drag the most successful clubs down to the level of the struggling clubs instead of the other way around. that is why i never had a problem with a businessman like Smith running the comp. you don't need a rugby league guy to do it ... most of them (although not all) are from the old school. you need to keep teams alive, and if it means punishing the teams that are successful both on and off the field, then so be it. yes, you need expert rugby league people top determine rules etc. but salary caps and off-field spending caps etc, should be determined at arms length. and an outsider is perfect for that as they'll do what is in the best interests of the business. Rugby League is one of the best products in the Australian sporting landscape ... but it won't remain that way if we keep letting incompetents and amateurs run things so the most successful teams are dragged down to the level of the cellar-dwellers.
