Message: [QUOTE="Flutterby, post: 2307218, member: 1853"] Coxy, Ifrom various conversations I have had with various people in the QRL I believe their motives for objecting are mostly pure. As they say, the QRL and NSWRL are responsible for a much larger chunk of the game than the 16 elite clubs - the fear is that with the NRL clubs having sooooo much say grassroots development, juniors, country RL, schools comps etc will get a much much smaller slice of the pie and will fall away due to lack of funding. Ultimately this will down the line dilute the standard of the elite competition; however in my experience most of the clubs take a short-term 'here and now' view over a longer term looking after the game view. And to their great credit, they are not just criticising/rejecting what has been proposed; but have put forward an alternative (and IMO fairer) structure for the IC. This is another reason why I think it isn't all just about 'dinosaurs' trying to protect their own interests. Quite frankly I'm a bit surprised the NSWRL aren't taking a similar view/stance to the QRL [/QUOTE]
