    Australian club teams could help save game in Britain

    Exactly. Writing off the NRL clubs finances because of leagues club grants is a bit stupid (I hate it when jurnos do it). Leagues clubs exist to fund football clubs. They are a different branch of the same organisation. AFL clubs count gamming revenue on the football clubs profit sheet, and...

    Central Coast Bears, 2013.

    Please, everyone stop going on about polls. They mean nothing.

    Central Coast Bears, 2013.

    TBH, if Cronulla had folded in 2010 and the Bears had been brought in to replace them, that probably would have been the best outcome for the "game" in terms of market spread. The Shire would have become Dragons/Rabbitohs/Tigers/Bulldogs land, and the game would have got a sustainable club in...

    Central Coast Bears, 2013.

    I agree totally. The Bears brand is valuable, and should be used by the game. However, that doesn't mean Gosford. IMO, NSW does not need any additional licences, not while we have other places which demand attention. Perth, Brisbane and New Zealand all demand the ARLC's attention, fairly...

    TV Deal Announced

    This is what I'd like to see. Use the current deal to strengthen the game as is, then expand at the next deal. Also, reduce the number of home games for each club to 11 when we expand, and have a few more split rounds around origin time. Season is a bit long, but any loss of matches is covered...

    Who will play halfback next year ?

    I've always thought Soward has a lot of half back in his game, but has been running as an aprentice a bit wider. I think the solution is 6 Stanley 7 Soward but we need to replace Fien as our number 3 half soon, and the Stanley injury situation doesn't make 2013 look that good. Next year...

    TV rights thread part 4

    Gallop would have settled for $800M and a gyngel reach around.

    TV rights thread part 4

    $925M + 100M Contra from 9 and Fox Sports, and probably $150M from Telstra for interwebs (whats gonna happen with naming rights? How much content will be online? What sort?) $200M from Sky for NZ rights... so $1.275B over 5 years in cash, $255M a year, plus $20M in contra advertising each...

    2012 Jersey & Sponsorship Discussion

    Does anyone really buy these one offs? Surely sales can't be high enough to justify a different jersey every second week. Not every club needs to do ANZAC day, indigenous, prostate cancer, breast cancer, limp footballers disorder, Avatar/Star Wars jerseys. Pick 1 charity match each. Eg, St...

    The T.V Rights Thread Part III

    I think that last bit about potential suitors is important in terms of the future media landscape. The key for all media forms will be having a broad base of different formats - For Fairfax, they have got to grow the internet business, and a TV station would be good for them too. Just...

    The T.V Rights Thread Part III

    Its been a long time, but 9's chickens are finally comming home to roost. Couldn't happen to a better station.

    Central Coast Bears, 2013.

    So, just clarifying... is he saying that if expansion is pushed further back the Bears may not be able/willing to bid?
  15. Goddo

    No expansion for 10 years?

    Your right, it would be the end of the "Central Coast Bears". The Bears would stay a NSW Cup feeder club. But I can see Sydney clubs serving the area in that eventuality, either by a partial relocation or continuing as is, taking the odd game there. I also agree with the suggestion that if...
