When the Super League swept through town in the mid 1990s it was all quite sudden. There would have been a lot of planning involved and meetings behind close doors before they launched.
Professional sport is a business these days, so it would be naive to think that in a boardroom somewhere, some men and women in suits might be arguing over the benefits of bringing these two games back together again.
After all, it was money that split the two to begin with. So what’s to say it won’t be money that brings them back together again.
AFL and football are gaining market share with various programs, and if it continues, something may need to be done.
The question is, would you support it or turn your back on such a merger if it happened at the professional level?
I have made a special note of saying at “the professional level,” because I don’t believe that either game will ever disappear from the sporting landscape. But at the professional level, it might.
To start things off …
My name is Matt, I live in Victoria, but grew up in Canberra. I prefer rugby league to rugby union and I would watch and support a merged form of the game because the amount of talent involved would be spectacular.
