Message: [QUOTE="Midean, post: 3275740, member: 10185"] You are taking it too literally, its not exactly sabotage, if its orchestrated and in the best interest of the company. Hell the top dogs at NRL may have even let the Broncos board know this is how it will play out until the new team is established, and then its not only business as usual, its better business as usual. In fact, a successful second Brisbane team might even benefit the Broncos in the long run as well, in that we would have a local rivalry that would draw record crowds in the same vein as the Roosters/Rabbitohs etc. As far as broadcasters are concerned, why would channel 9 or fox be upset with this? Its more profit for them as well with an extra, successful team in Brisbane meaning better broadcast deals, more advertising and extra game time per season on air. All the pieces are there for this to be a viable decision by the NRL for increased profits for the game overall. They know the Broncos will retain enough of their fanbase no matter how bad it gets to stay a successful club, they just need enough fans to jump to the new team to make it viable as well, and the best way to do that is to disenfranchise the Broncos temporarily .
