[QUOTE="Derpus, post: 1093322, member: 76427"] Alright, I was being a little rude. But I get tired of this narrative that we are somehow throwing our toys out of the pram. The current structure suits NZ much more than it does us and all McLennan has said is two things: 1. NZ have been bad partners (arguable, I suppose, but they certainly haven't been [I]good[/I] partners), and 2. RA are going to explore what works best for us given we only have a two year deal and the current structure isn't ideal. Neither of these statements are particularly unreasonable or surprising. In fact, you would expect RA to explore all options - there is evidence viewership would be better if we went domestic. More viewership = more money. Obviously this option has a lot of potential problems - but it's not like he's come out saying 'we demand x million or we are leaving'. He's just said everything is on the table. I'm off this 'NZRU can do no evil' stuff and that Aus rugby must bend over for them at every turn. We are fighting for survival ffs. [/QUOTE]
