Hypothetically if the powers that be in ol Ruga leg, decided 2023 was going to be a 20 team comp
Where would you expand 4 new clubs?
Now i know PR will say perth, and GROTD will say all 4 in SEqld, but as long as the broncos disolve..
Seriously if you were ken arthurson now and had the resources, funding and balls to open four clubs right now... where?
I'll start..(of course since i created the thread)
Auckland rival, pacifika team where all pathways from each pacific island filter into that team, creates a natural rival in the largely populated city in NZ.
Brisbane Suncorp = no brainer really, bronx need a push in there own backyard, and being the 2nd largest RL town in the southern hemisphere, some would argue we would need 4 clubs in brisbane alone, if we compare the likes of rugby league in sydney.
Perth = can't expand without trying to really expand, and if your able to create a Melbourne team for rugby league where there is 9 ALF clubs, surely you do it where there is 2.. perth is the new frontier with 2 million people, and if done right and cost effective (where you don't expect them to pay for the away teams) yeah we can see this a reality.. especially if super netball can do it.
Papua New Guinea = something about the Port Moresby Hunters intrigues me, i love the fact there is a whole country devoted to Ruga Leg, its amazing that there is now a QLD cup team based in PNG, it reminds me of when the Auckland Warriors began in 1995, just on pure emotion, to have a team from again another country, would really make rugby league a more well represented code, in comparison to the more focused "Aus"sie rules
Now my picks are truly based on what i would like to see happen, no data, or cost base to back up stats, I'm moreso mimicing the 1995 model, with Auckland, Perth, SthQLD, and PNG (instead of nthqld)
