It may just be because they are designed by the same company ... there used to be a few club sites that were like the NRL one a few years ago, when another place designed the NRL one (and it was way better, incidentally).
probably saves em money on website design too, lets just hope this isnt as bad as the NRL's idea to have the same Japanese Cartoon style mascots for every club
Oh for pete's sake...let the clubs design their own websites...we don't need the same NRL/SportingPulse/Sportal/FFA/A-League design all over our clubs.
Most of said designs are completely unworkable, unattractive, and restrictive. Not all clubs need the same thing as everything else.
I tend to think that the NRL is the least informative website regarding League News, they tend to have the article up 2 days after everyone else.
So if every team uses there similar design I hope they don't use the same news services, because nobody would know anything about there team if that were the case!
Not to mention that they have union articles up there pretty frequently.
I doubt the Knights would spend all that time and money redeveloping their site last year, only to contract it out to a new place after less than a year.
Unless there's some kind of corporate edict from the NRL, I can't see clubs like Knights or Souths losing their individual design. Souths have pretty much led the way with site design - they'd be pretty daft to volunteer to get rid of it.
speaking of the website, have any of you seen that John Tate thing? it's not bad, pretty funny. The bloke in the Tigers jersey is Dane Cordner though haha
