I think the NRL have to appease the broadcasters. If they are making good $$$ the NRL can negotiate better deals with them. That is good for the future and present of the game. Good for the sponsors too which then is good for us. The downside is of course that a soft draw can inflate a teams position on the ladder which we see every year, however the broadcasters that do the deals are happy, so the game stays financially healthy. I think the NRL should thank us for our part in the draw each year.
