If the Warriors were to bail, I wouldn't past the NRL to basically say "You walk out that door, we just might not let you back in!"
The Warriors bail, that's at least one less game for the NRL to sell to it's lovely Broadcaster Overloads. The Broadcaster Overlords would fly to Sydney and barge into the NRL offices with hand extended and saying "You gimme 'bout tree fiddy!" very loudly.
Tree fiddy which the NRL can't really do without. So they have to give those 8 games a week, whatever the makeup of the teams involved.
I'm sure Autex and the Board are very aware of the severe tensions in this area...
Freaking hell I am surprised a Warriors C team with no morale actually generate money for YKW broadcasters. Sigh, I feel we are like the gladiators in the Russel Crowe movie, the ones that get slaughtered first
