The roosters salary cap is an ongoing joke, We all know about the salary sombrero and they have a squad full of rep players with no end to the money they can spend. We all know the Bronco's get the Friday night games & there are many other stories we have all heard that get palmed off as a joke, But are they a joke. When the NRL commission was established I thought it would be awesome for the game, but all these years later I wonder if they are just cheats. I don't know how else to put it. It's a multi billion dollar game with so many thing happening they just don't explain correctly. We need transparency because I don't believe all is above board. Just my opinion, What do you think.

IMO, the ARL Commission is merely a reflection of the lack of "whole-of-game" thinking that continues to plague the game. There is no sense of what is best for the game as a whole, just our own little vested short term interests. AFL people complain about their Commission almost as much as we complain about ours, but they are just better at seeing the bigger picture, both individually & collectively.
I have long believed that the Premiership should be spun off from the Development Pathways and managed separately by the 16 Premiership clubs themselves, similar to the way the NFL, NBA, MLB & NHL are run. The Commission then would oversee the Pathways system with the Premiership guaranteeing a percentage of its gross revenue back to the Commission to fund the Pathways system and all Representative footy.
Under this system, the Premiership clubs would be the Board and would appoint it's own administration. The Commission would then oversee all junior development systems.
Right now the clubs don't trust the Commission because the NRL thinks the money that the game generates is theirs and they'll give a little bit to the clubs to keep them happy, it should be the other way round.
Clubs that have been investing in Juniors for many years should be advantaged, not exposed to the vulchers.
Melbourne have been in the competition for over 20 years now. What are they producing without plucking the best talent from the Gold Coast or Brisbane? The Gold Coast has always been a strong nursery for Rugby League. Kick Melbourne out, make them invest in Melbourne or give them a country NSW region to look after and invest in. Your way is certainly another way of looking at it. It has merit, but I don’t like it simply for selfish reasons. Parramatta’s junior nursery should be our strength, I don’t like the idea of it getting taken away from us.
Yeah, my view is pretty clear on that subject, I don’t think the Premiership club’s should have anything to do with junior development, because the reality is we don’t develop kids from age 6, the junior clubs do, all we do is partially fund them and then scoop the best of them at age 15 for Harold Matthews. The junior clubs are better equipped to do the development, that’s their core business, the Premiership club’s core business is winning the Premiership.
But that’s just my view.
