I wondered if I was missing something in this taking us closer to the edge but isn’t this the NRL clubs backing the decision the NRL clubs made last week? Basically the ARL and NZRL took their instruction from the NRL big wigs, let us stew for a week and as we threaten going over the top of them to invite Maori and Aboriginal teams in to the comp, they come back with a statement from all the clubs.
That July World Cup should solve it all anyway.

That's exactly what it is, the NRL clubs are saying they agree with the decision that they got the ARLC to announce for them last week. They are are agreeing with themselves and using this statement to put further pressure on players whom had been putting their hands up to play for other national teams or as part of Indigenous/Maori teams.
The WC should absolutely not be moved as that would be giving them what they want. They will only weasel out of a delayed tournament anyway. They cannot be trusted.
