I think the NRL is hopeless too, but not for the reasons you mentioned. More just ‘in general’. Decisions made by out of touch and/or incompetent management, decisions influenced by gambling organisations, ludicrous scheduling of games (6pm games in Sydney – yeah that works), inconsistent draw - some teams play top teams twice in first 8 weeks whilst others play them once during origin period when they have their stars missing, obscene price of tickets – especially origin and grand final, weekly refereeing and bunker debacles, poor quality and unprofessional processes and management at some grounds (sin bin timekeeping fiasco, some NRL grounds don’t even have a medicab on hand), seemingly no real long-term strategy for country and grassroots footy, lack of transparency regarding the true salary cap status of clubs etc etc.
