As for the handling of the Brett Stewart case, Brett Stewart should be in jail. How Brett Stewart looks people in the eye and tells them he was hard done by I will never know. The media and the club conspiracy to make him a victim is absolutely laughable. To say that Gallop treated him harshly is completely wrong - he should've personally escorted him to a cell.
Brett Stewart was not found Guilty so he shouldn't be in jail. You don't send innocent people to jail.
1). For the previous TV deal the AFL got 780 million to the NRL's 500 million. Huge failure by David and co.
2). So the head of the NRL couldn't handle political infighting. Lucky for us football in Australia has none of that. :oops:
3). Perhaps it is my opinion. But some teams are struggling to find sponsors and have poor crowds. It is sad but there is not enough space for them all. Some of these teams need to be relocated or culled.
4). Delayed expansion will prove costly in regards to the negotiating of the new TV rights deal. Gallop has stated that there will be no expansion in the initial years of the new tv deal. I beg to differ in regards to player talent. The Qld cup is of high quality and could supply several players and the under 20's comp is spitting out many new players.
5). The storm are not doing fine. They have been around for 15 years and already the Rebels have a bigger market share than them.
