Broncos great Shane Webcke has outlined his blueprint to save rugby league and says he would consider running the game if an independent commission were formed.

The Sonny Bill Williams saga may be a catalyst for change as the spotlight shifts from the renegade Bulldog to the state of the competition he left behind.

The calls for an independent commission to run the game, a solution championed by Bulldogs legend Steve Mortimer, have increased and now the highly respected Webcke wants to be involved in the process.

The former Kangaroos prop is disillusioned with the NRL's direction and called for "personalities, vested interests and the old historic allegiances" to be put aside in the interests of the game.

Webcke shared his league vision with The Sun-Herald and it includes:

- Reintroducing teams in Perth and Adelaide to make rugby league a truly national game;

- No more club games at ANZ Stadium;

- Redeveloping the Sydney Football Stadium into a 50,000-seat arena which could replace ANZ Stadium as a home ground for some Sydney clubs;

- Stringent guidelines for players' behaviour to limit off-field incidents;

- Turning rugby league matches into genuine "events" for fans.

Webcke, one of the most respected figures in the game, said he would "love to be involved" in an independent commission.

"The only thing that prevents me from doing anything at the moment is that it's a bit like fighting city hall," he said.

"There's a lot of ingrained stuff that is going to be very difficult to fight your way through.

"There are people who have been in power for years that will have to be divested of their power, and that will be a very bitter pill for some people to swallow.

"Some will happily do it so the game can move forward, but many won't. No one could tell you that our system is efficient - not even the people in it could argue that.

"The need for change is evident and I'd happily be a part of that change. That's not to suggest that I've got all the answers and every good idea going round."
