But Tony won't push the interests of his local NRL club, eh El?
is this a sign you've given up?
handing out jerseys is now akin to handing out money :lol:

What's Andrew D Demetriou's views on migrants got to do with issues between the AFL and the government?ohh ffs

Clutch a few more straws,
Mr Demetriou famously incurred the wrath of Liberal MPs including federal Treasurer Peter Costello in 2005 after he criticised Australia's attitude toward migrants at an Australia Day speech.
I did read that about Anna Bligh.
I also read something about the Sydney Showground. A grant that was made about the same time as the former NSW Government gave a heap of money to the NRL to keep playing the Grand Final at ANZ Stadium,
What stadium did the AFL buy?
I don't think your Mt Pritchard Community Club was too happy with the agreement to build a casino between the Bulldogs and the Labor dominated Liverpool Council on council land. I suppose the whole thing was no chance once the Bulldogs scam was identified, with paying players though a council project,
Bullshit article but it does show that a joint darwin png team has potential.
Docklands?
Back on topic. Thanks. I remember talk of a Darwin/PNG team. What happened?
why would the NRL have helped the GC out when they were competing with CC for a spot in the comp?
they would have been favouring one side
Realism set in!
How much harder is it for the Gold Coast to attract players with this hanging over their heads and the salary cap constraints.
For a one off game maybe...but for 5 to 13 games you couldn't pay me enough to partially relocate over there.
the artcile is bullshit and has been retracted by the DT
Exactly.
And do you not think they already have a "favorite" or two in mind for the next expansion?
They will be doing all that they can to get their preferred bids over the line, I have no doubt. Otherwise, it will come down to which bids are the best. This is how it happened last time around. I'm not certain that the two BEST bids will necessarily get in because of this.
Precisely.
The way the Central Coast bid was treated was an absolute disgrace. Apart from the clear superiority of the bid on all counts, after Gallop gave the Dolph/Tits the nod - he then offered a huge carrot ($8-10 million) for any club to relocate to Gosford BUT not the Bears!
come on Ronny you know the relocation is as much about reducing the number of Sydney clubs as much as it is getting a team on the CC (more so in fact). Do you think he would have offered the relocation money to say Canberra or NQ?
