I don’t disagree at all mate.
The product must continually evolve.
We live in a different world to even 10 years ago.
Once upon a time people went to the footy for a couple of hours just like they tuned into the Sunday night movie at a set time because that’s what we were all used to.
Now we get everything on demand or subscription and there’s a lot of brands and products screaming at us for our bucks. The NRL is among the noise and needs to shout louder and offer more to get the punter off the couch. TV ratings the NRL kills it - and they can keep negotiating more money with each broadcast deal - but the product only really thrives with bums on seats - preferably most of those yelling ‘BULLDOGS!’
