With the recent statements by the Nix, It appears there is no going back now.
Without an independent a league it appears the owners now take the view the Nix is finished. At least that what it appears from the outside.
It would appear that things the Nix may have said privately to the FFA in the past, or just put up with, they will no longer.
It appears we are going to have open warfare between the NIX and FFA until either the Independent A league arrives or the Nix die.
All a bit unseemly, but from a media perspective it should raise the profile of the nix.
Could get ugly though.
