I'm kinda torn on the NRL stuff.
I do think we need less teams, the bottom two teams are always basically whipping boys but I understand why the teams need a longer season for more money.
I'd rather 10 teams with the money spread between the less pots so those 10 having less of a talent gap.
The extra weeks with no games could then be used for either international games or some kind of origin rip off for international prep.
No point going to 8 teams ,trying to merge teams that won't work, less games or spammed re matches if it's for nothing.
Sad fact is that the salary cap has always worked to the bottom rung of the ladder after it stabilised the big clubs.
With the NRL cap being so high there is no chance of any player coming unless he has serious baggage or near retirement and SL just doesn't seem to be able to move enough young good players to being good or great at SL level,nevermind international
Problem with going to 10 teams (apart from loss of games fans etc) is that in a few years we'll be debating 8 high quality then 6. Race to the bottom
