Sad about the Dragons, ideal opportunity to improve their business model and supporter base, but looks like pride has got in the way.
Their ownership should realise that the way they did it the last three years was not particularly successful in terms of off-court, so now is the time to try something new.
'see-saw' - as Isaac mentioned - 9 teams down to 7 with a lower salary cap. But I gather the 7 teams have had input into it.
Wonder whether Asian Import has merit - increasing people watching.
Mainly from threads,on here,and Boti, Gaze etc.
Seems like Perth EG, asked BA for a Melbourne team, such as the Tigers coming back, and/or a Vic side, and a TV deal,slightly better than last year.
It sounds likely
