00:00On a related topic, a lot of Australian bigwigs over in this country for the Test Series,
00:06we understand that there's meetings going on around about now to discuss potential options,
00:14maybe the NRL getting involved in Super League, that's been a hot topic for quite a while.
00:20Do we think that would be a good thing if it happened, Sam B, and could you see it happening, realistically?
00:26I think, first off, I think it would be a good thing.
00:32You know, the NRL's making far much more profit than we are, an incredible amount,
00:38and I think that the way that their games run would only benefit us.
00:44I know we're trying, well, expansions, obviously, are a touchy subject in UK Rugby League.
00:49Obviously, we've got to lose this year, but I think if the NRL were to come in,
00:54I think we would see that expansion more often.
00:56And, like I say, that's only a good thing for the game.
01:01Whether it will happen is a completely different question.
01:03I know they've said in the past that if Nigel Wood's still involved, that they won't get involved.
01:10And I think the report this week is that they'll only get involved if they have full administrative control.
01:15So I think it'll be a tough, tough gig for the likes of Wood and that to give up.
01:23But, yeah, I think if it does happen, it'll only benefit our game over here.
