    And anyone wonders why the rest of the country thinks NSW are full of tossers......

    Central Coast Bears NRL Bid.

    What is it about Central Coast that you’re not sure of- their location, connection to the area, distance ect? Again, no hidden agenda here, I legitimately want to understand the area and it’s people more.

    Central Coast Bears NRL Bid.

    I honestly agree about Brookvale. This train of thought of mine is from the fact the NRL have stated they are committed to all clubs in Sydney as they are, and my suggested approach could be a way to slowly get to where we need to go. Pretend my idea goes ahead, I could see in the medium term...

    Personally, I’m not a fan of the NQ home this year. It’s not bad but it’s nothing with any wow or heritage to it. From a distance it just looks Navy Blue. For me, it just needs something more, maybe even white shorts could help, but more like a change of colour on the bottom half of the jersey a...

    Could there be an option for Manly to encompass the entire harbour to Gosford area, almost bring back the “Northern Sea Eagles” but in traditional Manly colours? Have the club sincerely engage the northern suburbs and Central Coast? Play a good wad of games at Gosford, a handful at Manly and one...

    I respect you mate, and you do have some real out of the box ideas that makes these forums much more interesting, but I think you a well off the mark on this one, both in terms of the idea and the desire out there to have our game change this way. The little fellas taking on the biggest of big...

    Here’s something from Fox Sports:- https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/nrl-2021-second-brisbane-team-expansion-plans-second-new-zealand-team-conferences-pools-peter-vlandys/news-story/3d6829872465193b287d5426a4b72375

    If you had any idea of how to effectively argue a point with a detractor at a high level, it’s called finishing with a rational redirect at emotions. Sorry if it hurt your mangina!! :wink:

    You lob the insult “you’re not from Sydney” like we’re second rate participants. Guess what, we’re not. We’re actually the future of Rugby League. There is little growth in Sydney in best case situations. If we want our game to realise it’s potential, we need to put as much energy into outside...

    Straight up- no more NSW teams. You don’t need one on the Central coast- a location an hour away from Sydney is not exactly expanding the comp. Also, why can’t Newcastle own the Central Coast too- they’re only an hour away? This is an honest question for anyone that has local knowledge as I...

    Central Coast Bears NRL Bid.

    This should never happen. It will exacerbate an unfair advantage Sydney teams already have in minimised travel. This kind of thinking is indicative of those who still see this as a Sydney comp, not a National comp. How’s this as a compromise then- do your divisions, but the Sydney teams need...

    Your first point I get, but the others?? - What’s wrong with the name “Northern”? - Why wouldn’t PNG belong in the Qld Cup? They were a part of our state pre 1974, and this is the perfect level and location for them to be in to compete. Considering we had Auckland in the ARL and NZ as well as...

    NRL's growth mindset points to 18th team. And it ain't Perth.

    The worst part is you do have reasonable points regularly, you just act like a tool about it. Please just drop the shitty attitude and accept other people have different perspectives than you. That doesn’t automatically make them wrong.

    Mate, if you’re bored of the discussion, stop participating. You come across as a “holier than though, my ideas are impeccable” douchebag. Read the room, I think most other participants are sick of it too. Either chill the f**k out or piss off.

    I’d say that’s a game, set and match response!

    Brisbane Jets

    I like your thinking here but have a few points of contention:- Is there really much difference in moving Wynnum to Redlands? I know it’s not my neck of the woods but I always considered everything east of the Gateway/Mt Cotton Road a distinct and insular locality/community that see themselves...

    NRL's growth mindset points to 18th team. And it ain't Perth.

    I think there’s credit in the long game theory, but I’d say do it to another team. I’m of the opinion that merged Sydney teams should be looked after at all costs. They made the tough call 23 years ago for the benefit of the game. Move others that dug their heels in or demerged a partner out.

    NRL's growth mindset points to 18th team. And it ain't Perth.

    I honestly don’t see the sense in a second NZ team. I haven’t seen any natural desire for a second team- every Kiwi I know/come across supports the Warriors in some form or fashion. There isn’t any genuine dislike for them like the Broncs actually have in Brisbane (think Donkeys). Wouldn’t it...
