But Brisbane get to play on Friday night every week. You can't change that. It wouldn't be fair on Brisbane to not get preferential treatment.
We don't want every fucking Friday Night game.

We ask for Sunday games & get about 2.

Poor Brisbane. Having the luxury of a seven day turnaround every week and playing in prime time every week to maximise revenue for sponsors must really be difficult.

How ever will they survive? Maybe the NRL should do more to help them out in such a time of need...

I know, we have to have a ticketing system with our sponsors.

One leaves & we call the next number to replace them. It gets tiring.

I just hope with all the money we have, we don't have to hand over our NRL grant to the poor clubs.

I love this concept, but it doesn't go far enough. We need a wildcard month before the finals.

We need 13 v 16 & 14 v 15.

The 2 winners play 11 & 12. Then the next 2 winners play 9 & 10 and so on until we get down to 2 wildcards and the Top 6, then the finals can begin.

That way ALL fans are engaged for the finals and think of the money that will be generated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they start doing this shit may as well remove the ladder, everyone plays everyone then the comp goes into knockout mode.

16 > 8 > 4 > 2 (Grand Final)

Get the fuck out of here. Top 8 is bullshit enough as it is. Win as many games as you lose and you're in the finals.

It's supposed to be survival of the fittest (and in roosters and broncos case survival of the unlimited salary cap).

This reeks of money making all over it. "come watch your loser team get its ass handed to it in the finals".

Top six, IMO.
Come watch you loser team get its ass handed... love this. They should def use this tagline in the marketing of the new concept.
