[QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3118031, member: 1899"] The biggest influencers are the fans and in turn the media, but all the fanbases are broken up. There isn't one set of fans that hold more sway than others, but if you group the NSW fans together, they're the vocal majority. In this case, a few of their teams are doing pretty well and Sydney aren't exactly that popular. The only real sway they have is through Channel 9 where they'll use Freddy, Gus and in the past Joey to get their points across. For example, look at how they reacted to the Dylan Napa hits on Korbin Sims and Andrew McCullough. In this case of the two competition points, the fans and the media would have out-weighed any and all pro-Roosters rhetoric. Then again, I feel like the NRL were just jangling this idea to make their actual idea look better than what it was. Even if it's a common sense idea, they can boost themselves up by acting like these other ideas were viable even though there was clearly one way. It's just a way to boost their profile in the game, to make it seem like they're doing good when really anyone in their position would come to the same decision. It's like the Wildcard idea they came up with at the start of the year. No way, no how but it just gave something the media to chew over and an instance for the NRL to point out how they listen to fans. [/QUOTE]
