Nathan Tinkler relinquishes ownership of the Newcastle Knights

[Aragorn]

This stadium is in Singas

As punishment, the losing team has to paddle the field back to Oz.

very nice....

There's a new purpose built stadium with a roof and 60,000 seats that will be finished in 2014.

It's a city state. Does it even have a decent footy stadium?

It may be a city state so to speak, but its also the epicentre of travel into and via connection into South East Asia. Its a modern metropolis with a great economy. Singapore is terrific.

 

[Ladmate]

He's rich, he can live anywhere he wants. This isn't even news.

 

[woodyk2]

I reckon he's gonna dump the Knights. I wouldn't hang around !

A non resident is taxed on all Australian source income and pay capital gains tax on Taxable Australian Property which his business interests would be I'm pretty sure.

Apparently he is planning to invest in a port or something overseas.

I didn't say it wasn't terrific. It's a rich 1st world country. But the Singapores and Monacos of the world, as rich as they are, have a limited amount of space. Things like football fields don't appear on every corner.

Singapore is an awesome place to visit. I go for a long weekend every year. Be even better if there was a nrl game to watch as well!

Oh, you want Super League back, do you? First Singapore, then China, then the world. Or something like that.

 

[Perth Red]

Do I want a world game? Too flicking right I do!

 

[drago brelli]

CEO Tinkler will be seeking out players for super coach Bennett whilst in Singers. Singapore league playes who can get into the grind and can play for 80.

 

[Fire]

I heard he moved to Asia, apparently he built the house on a slope.

 

[woodyk2]

Twice !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Brutus]

He's moving for food reasons.

Like it or not. International club competitions are the future of sport.

It will happen in the future sometime for rugby league.

 

[woodyk2]

c'mon people,wake up...he's gonna dump the Knight$. Wise move I reckon.

 

[Jobdog]

:lol: He's going to dump the Knights is he? No idea.

 

[stuke]

Well if he wants to take an exhibition game to Singapore, I'd go. I've only ever seen the airport there...

The airport is the best feature....it's all downhill after that.

 

[Paullyboy]

Haha this thread is hilarious.

Tinkler moves and people automatically assume there must be something NRL related in it.

 

[RL The greatest game]

Be good to see some nrl in Singapore. I reckon they would love it and new sponsor opportunities.

They are my thoughts as well. They could play a trial game there to test the water and if its a success they could play a home game there.
I was there earlier this year and they hadn't finished rebuilding the National stadium, which in my opinion would be the idle place to have a Rugby League game.
