All good, I’ll apologise again. I guess I was just attempting to point out the way you presented the facts seemed a little misleading, if the intention was to suggest the current system works fairly, by using the NRL’s GF results over the last 20 years as evidence the competition is fair and equitable given the make of the top 8, it’s no big deal.
I think most supporters clearly understand the competition is not fair or equitable in its current state, the wealthy clubs have dominated and will continue to dominate, which suggest the current salary cap system isn’t working, which can be further evidenced by the rosters of certain clubs and their ability to continually sign the best talent as they become available.
Like all most everything, change is inevitable, hopefully a fairer system can be implemented moving forward, without one, Manly’s future looks pretty bleak along with a number of other not so attractive and far less wealthy clubs, personally I’ve had enough of the Melbourne’s, Roosters, Penrith sides dominating the competition, now they look set to be joined by the Dogs, who’ve found their wealthy benefactor, which sees them join the power house clubs previously mentioned, anyway hardly matters what I think, if I expressed exactly what I thought was happening at the administrative level of the game, I’d find myself facing litigation, so I guess I’ll just leave it here.
