Eventually it might happen, but not in my lifetime. FFS they haven't even got a second Brisbane club. Shows how pathetic the game is at growing its existing markets let alone new ones

Hmmmm.. if North Sydney bought the Titans, and the NRL refused to let them re-name the team the Bears, they could counter by saying "ok, well how about THIS, but we're not budging on red & black for club colours..."

I don't think the NRL will let them buy the club if they want to change the team name or colours.

Does anyone in the region actually identify themselves as being from the western corridor? I am guessing not.

With growing jinior numbers growing in Melbourne is it time to think long term and put another NRL club their.
Everything is in place and that way people in Melbourne could watch go to a NRL every week their.

Junior participants mean nothing. Storm can't even get favorable or adequate media coverage. What makes you think Melbourne can handle 2 teams?

It won't happen. Ever.

should all be on the cards before Melbourne 2.

But Melbourne2 would bring us to a nice round 24 teams after that! What a comp that would be.

Could a split Melbourne/Tasmania team work? After all those teams as you mention.
