    wow.

    The NRL is reportedly investigating splitting the comp in half, running two conferences. If you want to go backwards and fuck a national comp, here is your blueprint

    Conferences will be Sydney, and everyone else. You'll play everyone in your conference twice, and everyone from the other conference once. Top 4 from each conference to play finals. Winner for each conference to teh GF.

    Did the fucking Roosters and the Rabbits come up with this? Sydney clubs play in Sydney basically every week, and are guaranteed a spot in the GF, also in Sydney. Everyone else travels around the County and across the Ta$man every week.

    This is a terrible idea for every club who isn't from Sydney.

      @mariner4life what in the fuck! is it open season for fuck up your own cash cow (I mean comp) or something?

      No doubt the NRL is a brutal comp - but changes like this aren't needed, and reek of Sydney first and screw yous fullas.

        yeah and supposedly 2 new teams (1 probably in Brisbane and the other in New Zealand), logistically though bundling every team out of Sydney into one conference, while Sydney teams have no travel is a terrible idea.

              A better idea is three conferences, one of which goes immediately to the grand final. The top teams from the other two conferences play against each other in a qualifying final.

              We'll call these conferences "Balmain", "Sydney" and "Others".

                  Most points conceded
                  Biggest Losing Margin
                  Most GF losses in a row

                    Yep I dont disagree, I think Bennet has already unoffically announced he will coach (or director of coaching) for new Brisbane team. If they insist on salary caps with a smaller pool of top talent then they may have to start using a draft model to as well, but that hasnt been mentioned anywhere..yet

                      Not sure Wayne is a development coach anymore. He's a guy that brings good players together and gets them playing for each other. And he's really bloody good at it.

                      There is no equalisation measure in the NRL. The cap doesn't mean shit when rubbish teams need to pay huge overs to attract talent, while top clubs can offer unders for the chances to win rings and play Origin (which pays heaps). Big clubs also have an easier time of it recruiting young talent for the chance to develop in a good environment. I mean, i didn't hear the Tigers mentioned as a possible destination for that 16 years old "superstar"

                      Penrith have shown the way up, but it takes years, a massive nursery, and a lot of luck. And they will get picked apart as the cap starts to bite. And poor teams will pay overs for their players.

                            Also reports of Adam Reynolds to the Sharks on a 3-year $2.4M deal

                            And, in proving that clubs don't learn lessons, the Broncos are apparently willing to throw approximately all the money at Mitchel Moses

                                and Tigers sign Simpkin, so looks like they fnally got one right and keep this young kid

                                Naden also to Doggies as Barret pinches another one, actually thank he is a really good signing as long as they can keep him from partying.

                                All the dogs need now is 5 forwards to replace the shit they have at the moment

                                  Paul Kent reckons SJ was offered back to the Warriors at $800k a year and was told thanks but no thanks

                                  he reckons it was the senior player group that said no.

                                  grain of salt and all that
