The pandemic has put an immense ammount of pressure on clubs financially and there’s fears some may not survive it. The eighth Immortal has said before that the competition would work better with just twelve teams. Speaking on [I][URL='https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/12-team-nrl-competition-coronavirus-consequence-andrew-johns/189008d0-65c9-4a8e-9b25-1fbc707d2c69?ocid=Social-NRLFS']Wide World of Sports’ Freddy & The Eighth,[/URL][/I] Johns said the current situation could end up achieveing that result. “The worrying thing for me, I was thinking last night in bed, was this year I could see a bigger difference between the elite and the poor club, the clubs that were struggling,” he said. “And when we come back (from the suspension) the gap is only going to be bigger and bigger and bigger between the wealthy clubs, the strong clubs, the clubs with the best players, and the teams that are down here. “The stronger will get stronger and the weak will get weaker. I’ve been saying for a while that I think the best number is 12 teams for the competition, I think if you look this year especially, I think the stronger teams, the teams up the top, look far superior to the teams down the bottom. “How we do that? I’ve been saying for a while, only the strong survive, maybe this forces the hand. “If you have a look at the juniors, there’s less kids playing, for whatever reason, whatever you want to toss up. Not only rugby league but sport in general. “So we’ll always have the elite kids coming through but there’s less numbers. So I think 12 is the best number, how it happens I don’t know.” [/QUOTE]
