Message: [QUOTE="Organix, post: 3484736, member: 8187"] Same. We need a team in every state. Cairns and North Sydney in the next sentence. Was like ummm what? Though admittedly moving Bears to Perth is possible. The only person talking sense in the article was Blake Solly, the others are desperate for their club to get the money to get onto the NRL teat. It is unsustainable, gives no foundation for the clubs and the admin is not there. It would be just a money sink for years and many current NRL clubs have been that for years already. I also hate their terminology in turning this sport into a product. It's the reality, but it's also gross and makes me further question the way decisions are made. "We need a new flavour... how about Dolphin?" The televisation and the manipulation/generation of a "close contest" is really dystopian to me and just makes me think of Running Man and Death Race. Give the audience what they want. Worse still is that they will use the PNG love of this awesome sport and milk it and twist it to basically do to them what they currently do to the warriors, but PNG is far less financially stable as NZ and the players could very likely get taken advantage of as we see with a lot of young, naive players in the NRL currently. It's not healthy, especially rushing headlong just to meet some stupid arbitrary deadline like the Olympics or whatever. [/QUOTE]
