Current decade. 2010 to now.
Yeah I read it as past decade
The current decade would of been 2007 to 2017 anyway... the last 7 years would of probably been easier for everyone

Grant leaves in February next year. The talk is the chairs of Sydney clubs will be holding his farewell in a phonebox, such is his popularity. They are bemused about Grant's vision for the game.
"We need to play it to bigger audiences," he told Fairfax Media on Sunday. "The only way to be growing our topline revenue is to be playing in new markets. That means US, China, any of those. We are doing work across the Americas and Asia and Europe to understand where that is. That's formative. But if you ask me what is the next step, that's got to be one of the next big things."

Fuggen NRL needs to sort out the basics like game day, junior participation and development pathways before it worries about stinking it up in new countries.
Yep there is plenty that needs to be done here first. A ****load actually.
The discussion about a PNG NRL team absolutely ****s me. Brisbane want it cos it means no competition for them at home. Even thinking about having an nrl side in a 3rd world developing country is ridiculous. How much does the nrl want to lose?
If they have to expand its west. If they dont wanna go west its another brisbane team.
Yeah agree.
In saying that though I don't think expansion should be in their plans in the short-medium term. Their isn't enough quality with 16 teams nevermind another two teams imo.
It's amazing how clueless this bloke is. Don't let the door hit you on the way out in February.
What a complete muppet.
There's only one way to export the game to America.
Tell them they can't have it.
Then they'll invade and steal it.
And turn it into a 6 hour borefest where halftime commercials are the season highlight.There's only one way to export the game to America.
