    Team 20 - Who? Adelaide or Queensland 5?

    Yeah, I was probably more putting it out there as a "what if" scenario more then a "this should happen". There's no willingness for clubs or the NRL to consider relocation, and with the grant pretty much taking care of all then there's no financial pressure to - unless some massive "black...

    Team 20 - Who? Adelaide or Queensland 5?

    If competition size & depth is a concern, moving the Tigers to Wellington would help rationalize Sydney, make for a 3rd NZ team (Assuming one of he Christchurch bids is in), and put less pressure on the talent pool.

    Team 20 - Who? Adelaide or Queensland 5?

    I would venture to say that Adelaide AND Wellington both have strong cases - one means we have a team in NZ's 3 biggest cities and the other means we have all the Australian cities that have at least 1 million population.

    Long run, we could get to 20 (or more) teams and just have everyone play everyone once, with a decent rep footy break in mid-season. Sure, it wouldn't allow for "return matches", but if you want truly fair that's the way.

    The slightly darker shade of blue does a great job as trim on this.

    Yeah, the blue looks so washed-out in that photo that it's almost white

    Weak & also picking a fight with the Broncos, Titans & Dolphins that doesn't need to be fought now.

    Hmm.. that sounds rather "Gate-keeper"-ish to me. I'd like to think having people from all parts in these forums is a good thing. Expanding the game, right?

    I actually like that as a light away jersey for the Sharks. That early '00s shade of blue they wore really pops as a trim colour, and grey is a nod to the actual colour of sharks. Execution might not be 100% but the seed of a good idea is there.

    I never said it would cost Perth any new fans. Look adopting the Bears brand isn't necessary for fans in Perth, plain and simple. They'll likely support a team named Bears, Pirates, Reds or Dust-Mites. The only reason it's being done is an appeal to tradition which effectively means...

    Yes. It means that there's more scope for ADDING NEW FANS here (or Perth, or Adelaide for that matter) than in Sydney. How many more fans can a city have when it's already teeming with them?

    You just stated my point - Sydney is saturated, NZ is not. Guess which one means growing the game, winning new fans & increasing revenue. As far as Perth goes, if the Bears brand is needed to get there, then it's the price they pay I suppose - beggars can't be choosers & all that (and after...

    Yeah but the Warriors are a whole-nation's club whereas Norths was in a wildly over-saturated market. Apples & Oranges

    Exactly. It's a shame that they can only be accepted by the Sydney league community (and the NRL it seems) by allying with an old heritage brand that frankly were just "lovable losers".

    A slightly sandy yellow (not as bright as Parra) & light blue (somewhere between the shades of Bulldogs/Eels Royal Blue & the Sharks sky blue/almost pastel) is what the Titans need to wear. Mostly gold, some light blue, little to no navy blue

    I always liked the darker shade of blue the Sharks used in the late 1990s-early 2000s. Such a shame they've gone back to darn near pastel.

    Should be 3, tops. Campbelltown Commbank Suncorp (if designated home for Magic Weekend) They have no business playing home games at Allianz & Leichardt is surely just trial-standard.

    The 2025 draw is out today, not sure if they wanna give that some space first? How long is the WA Premier in Sydney? If he's still there tomorrow.. maybe a press conference then?!?

    If Perth debut gets delayed to 2028 (start of next TV deal instead of last year of the current deal in 2027) will be interesting to see if any players get 1-year "stop-gap" deals at clubs, similar to how Sean Hoppe was let go by the Raiders at the end of 1993 and played 1994 at North Sydney...
