  Snakey - Sack Dylan Brown April 7, 2020 at 1:35pm

  

  Id have a comp where every team plays each other once, weve already had two rounds that should be counted, so 14 rounds left.

  Put them in Townsville.

  SOO is on but theres no byes, players who play origin can either back up or not just like the old days.

  Forget the American market, there is no market there, lets keep it real and try and renegotiate a deal with 9.

    9 will come back or someone desperate for content will

    I don't know why you'd ignore the American market. The NRL is strapped for cash, an additional international broadcast deal would help shore up the bank account. It's not like there are any active American sports at the moment.

      FoxSport has the rights to the American market. Can’t sell what has already been sold

        They only do three games per round. So they show less than 50% of club matches.

        If they tear up the contract or refuse to come to the party the rights revert to the NRL.

          And the NRL has no capacity to telivise anything, can't even live stream their own meetings.

            There are other networks they can sell them onto, as Super has already suggested, ESPN.

  Replace th Warriors this season only with either a combined Redcliffe/Ipswich side or a Norths side with borrowed players from Canterbury Cup sides.

    Dolphins and Jets are both Broncos feeder clubs.

    That said the Dolphins benefit more from the Broncos FG players relegated to the lower grade so can't see how that would work actually.
