Personally, if any expansion happens I'm strongly in favour of Perth getting the nod but I'm unconvinced as to the merits of the others.
IMO, the one that keeps getting left out of this discussion is NZ (and yes I realise that is because there isn't a Kiwi bid). But it seems to me that if you're truly looking to grow the game, you should be trying to get more of NZ's quality rugby/RL athletes. The quality of their National Provincial Championship (rugby) and their NYC sides shows how much talent their is available- fight RU, not AFL for athletes and improve the quality of your code in the process.
Also, I'm interested to get the honest feelings of CC supporters towards my Club, the Sharks... Obviously, we've been weak for a while and their is a perception amongst Sharks fans that the Bears' bid is waiting for us to die- especially with the apparent support for the Perth and B2 bids.
Are Bears supporters happy to see a Sydney Club die to achieve their dream?
