Great read on current state of the game.

"Narratively, rugby league was always based on the battle of possession v position, where physicality, fatigue, smarts and strategy combined.
But when tries are cheap and plentiful, each individual event loses value.
It’s ultra-processed rugby league, and everyone knows that’s bad for you."
Ultra-processed rugby league is a big problem for broadcasters (and the NRL)

I read that this morning... it had me thinking that the next TV rights deal and how it could be the death of NRL if they get it wrong.Great read on current state of the game.

If they split games across multiple subscription services I dont think I'd be paying to subscribe to them all with the current state of the game and how much I ****ing hate so many things associated with it... especially when they usually bump up the fees for "sports packages".
If I'm not seeing every game then I'm probably losing interest in Supercoach, tipping, etc. which is literally the only thing that makes me give even the slightest shit about all 8 games each week... even at the moment I'm nowhere near as invested in Supercoach this year.
So my touch points to the sport start reducing dramatically and my interest in following the sport will inevitably start to drop.
Eventually it would only be broncos games that mean anything to me, but if they started splitting across services... then I'm probably fine with missing a game here and there and catching up on it through highlights, etc.
It has potential to be a very slippery slope, because if you're not interested in results from other teams then what even is the point of following a sport

Yep, like you knew it should have won and it will take years to come out of the dark ages.

If there is anyone in America who still likes the NRL, these teams will ensure that will no longer be the case

Bellamy could become a cult hero if they show a bit of him in the coach’s box.
