The excuses for not having a draft just go to prove how badly the NRL is run.
AFL do it, no problems. An actual ALL Australian game with young players moving from one side of the Country to the other.
NRL. Smaller area. basically eastern seaboard only. Yet sorry the courts said it would be unlawful. How could anyone possibly expect an 18 or 37 year old men who can, father children, drink, vote, drive a car, and be forced to go to war and die for their country, how can such an age be required to move out of their bedroom and stop living in one Suburb in Sydney to most likely play for another. Lol.
Dam those AFL bosses must be very very cleaver or NRL bosses are....
