Hi Team,

That was again another boring grand final. Since 2005 with North Queensland, Brisbane 67% and Melbourne 100% owned by News Limited and they own half the game and their teams always in the eight or win the grand final. That is so great for the NRL and Rugby League. I feel there is bias in the NRL AS IT CURRENTLY STANDS. News Limited owns these businesses as Rugby League teams and it is in their own interest to manipulate the system to suit their teams. I will find it interesting how North Queensland and Canberra will ever win a grand final now as they are not owned by Rugby League anymore and Canberra does not have Arthurson and the ARL for their bias means anymore and they have not come close to a Premiership since or will the NRL create more bias and let this happen for the games interest and not the whole interest in the NRL?.

I FORGOT THEY HAVE DONE THIS, AS IF YOU ARE NOT A SYDNEY TEAM YOU CAN PLAY AT YOUR HOME GROUND UP TO THE GRAND FINAL MATCH and if you are a Sydney team and you win you play at some else’s home ground. When you have the money to spend on players under the cap when the players are younger you will always win a premiership, make the eight every other year and always have a strong side IN THE COMING YEARS. Melbourne are a one town team, won two premierships and they can not stand on their own financially, then they must be a very badly operated organisation with bad leadership and if News was not their they would be gone. Brisbane is a one town team and has won several premierships and they do not need News Limited or do they? These teams’ shares should be sold and they should be independent of the NRL and their owners or we are just creating bias and divide amongst all fans, CLUBS, in the NRL. News Limited is so generous then it should sell its ownership of these clubs and invest in Perth or South Australia for the games growth national and as being owners of the NRL it will be in their interest as a business and the successful future of their investment. But once again, the NRL AND THOSE WHO SAY THEY ARE WISE AND WE SHOULD FOLLOW THEM AND GET RID OF SYDNEY TEAMS. Yes that will answer all their problems. We merge sides like St George and Illawarra and we call it St George Illawarra Dragons with their colours and their culture. That worked. West and Balmain merge and they call it Wests Tigers with the Balmain colours and culture and Wests Maggies money. Yes I hear that you think that supports will follow that kind of bias behaviour from one club. They will give up their colours, culture, and club because they love Rugby League and the NRL?. I love my team not other teams, not News, not the NRL, not ex or current players, but my team and that’s why I follow the NRL. These clubs and fans hate each other, Easts and Souths, St George and Sharks. The Canterbury club, players and fans hates everyone and they will not merge or only to suit there culture and club and stuff the other culture and club. I am Sharks fan and when the Sharks are kicked out of the NRL for what ever reason, I can take myself, my kids and family to any sport, just like AFL and it is not a bad game and I can pick any team I like, the kids and wife have their teams and I know that AFL supports its history and clubs and not the agenda driven, media, individuals, ex and current players, owners and the hangers on with no brains. I can be part of a team in a different sport overseas and can use the internet to be part of the action. I think it is about $50.00 a year and I can watch the NY base ball team and with those contacts I made, I found people out their who now sent it for free. Fact. If you get rid off or kick out Sydney teams, colours, cultures you are opening the market up for other sports to take over their regional areas and supporters, its just business, money, marketing. Fact.
