I was hoping the answer was "in the 90s they started hiring nutritionists and discovered that players could vastly improve their performance if they expanded their diets beyond pies and XXXX and now they're all hulking Greek gods of footy who have no need for puny shoulder padding" but your answer works too.

Some players still wear them, mainly old or coming back from injury, and they tend to be the more hugging suit like type of pads (Jonathon Thurston does) rather than the old monsters of old. But yeah players are hulking Greek gods compared to yesteryear and pads seem to make life more difficult.

I'm pretty sure I haven't hit my head this morning but is he seriously expecting players to do regular 20+ hour trips for away games?

That is stupider than a London-based NFL team, which is saying something considering Rugby League is a sport invented and already actually played quite often in England.

I'd actually be completely okay with the Canterbury Bulldogs spending most of their time on the other side of the world, though

The English have an enclave in Perth, why not base them there? Perth is full of blow-ins anyway.
