Reports in Love RL that the NRL are having talks about buying SL and moving it back to a winter season, so players could play in either country, like they used to do, before Summer Rugby.
Interesting, would we benefit from winter rugby - better crowds for public holiday games for sure and wouldn’t lose people on holidays
touring teams from down under could do a bigger tour including club games as previous
more Aussie players - doubtful they would not do a whole season here as they would probably take a break and be required back in trading before our season ends
downside - postponements and poor crowds when weather is bad
however this summer rugby that we started playing competitive games in early February does not really fit the bill
Football games being on tele get blamed a lot for poor crowds now, with only half the seasons overlapping. Imagine if they ran side by side all season?
Our pitch would mean a chance of a faster game compared to pitches like Hull H R and Wire atm.
That doesn't matter the rules are killing the game did you see last night ? This will kill the game so every thing else is irrelevant.Football games being on tele get blamed a lot for poor crowds now, with only half the seasons overlapping. Imagine if they ran side by side all season?
