Nrl plans for a 20 team comp

NRL currently at 17 teams.
NRL expanding to 20 teams.

The main debate going on here is Perth vs PNG.
To quote those taco ads: "Why not both?".
There's 3 spots up for grabs in the coming decade. Not one. Three.

It's fairly obvious in my eyes that, whichever order, teams 18 and 19 will be PNG and Perth.

The biggest issue going forward will be who team 20 will be. That will be between NZ2 and Qld5.

I'd suggest Fiji / Pasifika, Adelaide, ect, are most likely left for the next round of expansion.

This is not a nuanced take & approaches expansion as merely locations. Prior to the proposed funding of PNG by the government, would anybody place that location as the top candidate for the next NRL team?! Lots of factors which contribute to winning bid & as seen by PNG proposal location can be irrelevant.

Pvl said he thinks 600 million will be more than enough to set up pathways

Andrew hill has said his bid can stand up without govt funding

if only these people would read the links provided
Yeh sure, that’s why the nrl weren’t entertaining the idea of png until govt started talking silly money lol

Thieving pomms

the British museum is full of stolen artifacts like the Rosetta Stone In Egypt

its estimated they took the equivalent of 3 billion in resources out of India
you are from a country where the white fella literally stole the whole country from the people who lived here, in comparison stealing a few trinkets seems quite minor! people in glass houses and all that lol

Sport and political alliances are always going to end up in tears. One is built on loyalty, transparency and connecting with the community while the other is not.
