The CEO of the NRL has fronted the media this afternoon, joined by representatives from all sixteen clubs, in what many have described as the second darkest day in sport.
While the game recovers from a big year of salary cap scandals and ex-player court appearances, the game’s executives say there are still rougher seas ahead.
CEO Todd Greenberg say that the number one concern for the greatest game of all is the possibility of a mass-exodus of players to the southern codes.
This follows the AFL’s absolute pearler of a week, that has included cocaine, sex and rock n roll. As millennial footballers now come to terms with the fact that everything they do online can and will come back to haunt them, if it’s juicy enough.
NRL clubs have been holding crisis talks all week in a desperate attempt to construct contracts that would prevent their own players from jumping codes to get in on this mayhem.
“Look, we all know that our boys are pioneers of this kind of behaviour” says Greenberg.
“And from what I’ve heard they are salivating at the idea of putting on a guernsey for one of the six or so winless AFL clubs, just so they can get in on these scandals”
“Perhaps we should bring in the three strikes rules like the AFL, and not just punish our players off the back of rumours and leaked video footage”
“I dunno. But the AFL looks like a pretty fun place to be right now. No ones even getting sacked”
