Women's Team Rejected by NRL.

[HaroldBishop]

Mate, Rugby League is huge over there. They live for it.

Visionaries. They must rightfully get sick of copping it from people like us.

 

[Wiz]

Ive said this before ... Todd Greenberg hates us , if anyone should have a womens team it is us - Buzz should be onto this

 

[SF]

Greenberg was at Como on Saturday opening their clubhouse, bet he didn’t mention it then.

 

[Addy]

If NRL teams are running at a loss to fly players and staff to NZ, how they gonna pay to fly the women over there?

And is St George still living out of the NRL's pocket?

NRL , F"ING Joke .
Zero credibility
Time for a Cronulla Sharks Ladies Soccer franchise .

 

[Greg86]

All the work achieved prior to this decision has been disregarded in my book. We were one the front foot years ago with the womens game and to not be one of the foundation clubs in this is absolute BS.

Hope Ruan is on her way to see Todd.

Geographic location the focus as NRL women's teams announced

Tue 27 Mar 2018, 10:15 AM
Four teams are set to compete in the inaugural NRL Holden Women's Premiership in August with the Brisbane Broncos, Sydney Roosters, St George Illawarra Dragons and New Zealand Warriors the first participating clubs.

Geographical location played a major part in the decision-making process according to NRL CEO Todd Greenberg. The decision came after talking with senior members of the Jillaroos squad and coaching staff.

It is believed the NRL's decision to spread the clubs across two states and two countries was done to initially cover as many areas as possible with an eye on expansion in future seasons.

The Broncos and Roosters' inclusions were strategy based, with each club representing Brisbane and Sydney, while the Warriors had a strong application given the dominant New Zealand Kiwi Ferns are set to feature heavily in the squad.

"We think we've got the balance right for our first year and I would expect more NRL clubs to join the competition in the years ahead," Greenberg said.

"The formation of a women's premiership is one of the most exciting developments the game has seen.

"For the first time, our best female players will have the opportunity to play in an NRL competition – on the game's biggest stage."

Clubs will now begin a contract process to recruit players with more than 100 required across the four squads for balance purposes and to cover injuries.Jillaroos stars Kezie Apps and Sam Bremner have been the faces for the Red V throughout the club's bid, while Queensland skipper Karina Brown has already expressed an interest to lead the Broncos.

Teams to miss out after applying included the South Sydney Rabbitohs and Cronulla Sharks, with Greenberg indicating there was a fear over short-term player quality and workload.

Sharks CEO Barry Russell was disappointed Cronulla had missed out on having a team in the competition.

"I am extremely disappointed and dumbfounded by the decision," Russell said in a statement.

"We have sound experience and in-depth knowledge of women’s rugby league after launching the Cronulla Sharks Women’s Series team and hosting the Women’s Rugby League World Cup in 2017."

Greenberg responded to the Sharks' comments and encouraged the club to continue with their female growth in the game.

"That's their emotional response and I understand their disappointment," he said.

"Let me say we had six very good bids. The two teams that missed out have handled themselves very professionally despite some of their disappointment.

"There was a decision back in 1908 and JJ Giltinan was in my shoes today. He had to let down a few people. We're at that point today, but the women's game will grow enormously in the years ahead."

The news completes an historic occasion for the female competitions with the first ever Holden women's State of Origin set to feature as part of the standalone representative weekend in June.

So if we were called the Sydney Sharks would we have been allowed to run the team?

You forgot to add:

“Full of himself”

 

[Greg86]

JJ Giltinan would be more in touch then this fruit loop.

 

[Western Sharkie]

Gee 4 teams is going to be a cracker season!

What will they do each fortnight?

1 v 4 in first semi
2 v 3 in second semi
Winners go to GF
Losers play in playoff for 3rd and 4th

Rinse and repeat every two weeks over a 12 - 14 week period!

That’s one way to increase premierships won for these clubs!

FMD if 6 strong applications, then run 6 strong teams FFS.

“Roosters deserve to be there because they represent Sydney” sounds a lot like “the current third party payment system is fine because we need to let Melbourne have a bigger budget to grow the game”.

Going on their attendance at NRL games over the years they don't seem to represent much of Sydney at all... unless AFL/Super Rugby counts

 

[Addy]

NRL have successfully pissed away any good will I held for them, which wasn't much.

I'll support the Sharks, but Super Rugby and AFL will be pocketing my money

Ruan rocking up at Greenburgs house "hey todd 2 people are gunna part ways happy tonight ok? oh I almost forget..." Nek minute Gallen walks in with a smile

 

[slide rule]

I find this whole thing way more infuriating than I probably should. I think it's just typical of the NRL. And as Addy said, this has just zapped any of the tiny amount of Good Will I had left towards these clowns.

I mean, they want a six team comp. They get six applicants and decide to go with four teams. That's not a comp JJ Greenfrog (whatever your name is).

 

[slide rule]

And basically what they are saying is that the Roosters bid didn't actually beat ours in any measurable way. They just like the idea of a "Sydney" team. And that licence goes to the team called Sydney.

Why bid? Why try to do anything for these ****heads?

 

[dylan the villian]

this code out does it self each year in ways you cannot imagine.
