    18th club, whose next?

    A basic summary of the recent news about the Perth Bears Perth league fans begging on the street: "Hey, mister, you got any spare change?" NRL: "Yeah, here's a dollar." Perth league fans: "Oooh, sorry, the sign says there's a five dollar minimum." NRL: "What? Okay, whatever, here's a five...

    What will be Perth Red's excuse for not supporting the Perth Bears?

    Then start your own one whining about the Perth Bears then.

    Yep. The thing is if you do the draw right, you can play 12 games in Perth and then have another team give up 1 home game (a team that plays at a shared ground - like the SFS or Stadium Australia - who can give up a home game and have it replaced with a reciprocal away game at the same venue) so...

    What will be Perth Red's excuse for not supporting the Perth Bears?

    I don't consider Perth Red to be a valid human being.

    What will be Perth Red's excuse for not supporting the Perth Bears?

    Can we please stick to the topic? There's 20 other threads discussing the Perth Bid and 5000 others ruined by Perth Red bringing up a Perth team off-topic. Now looking at the current voting poll - some petty bulls**t is winning. But remember to vote. The poll closes soon in 3 years.

    2024 Crowd Watch

    There's a game in Stadium A at 5:00pm and one across the road at Stadium B at 8:00pm. You buy a ticket to both. You go to both games. You get counted in the attendance twice - once at Stadium A and once at Stadium B. No one would have a problem with that. Yet somehow if you make it the same...

    2024 Crowd Watch

    If you're paying for 2 games you should get counted for 2. Same for 3. It's common sense.

    2023-2028 next tv deal discussion

    I doubt the quality was there in the first place. PNG, NZ and Australia are relatively close and in 3 close timezones 4 hours apart, similar to the continental US. You schedule it well enough a team might go to Townsville or Port Moresby once a year rather than both. Auckland or Christchurch...

    I believe the term is being a choosing beggar.

    It was months ago but every poll has a unique reference code and their survey area codes. It literally just said rugby league support with no summary and the Perth survey area codes. There's really not a long list of organisation with a vested interest in paying for a private survey about...

    PNG's back.

    The thing is 20 of those teams are in Australia and the 4 others would be in PNG/NZ. So there's no real oversaturation of the Australian market.

    Rugby Union running scared

    If they can't make Rugby Union work in New Zealand then they're doing something wrong.

    PNG's back.

    I don't see why you can't have a 21 team competition.

    Someone (I suspect the NRL) was running surveys in Perth last year. I'm guessing the result was that overall the Perth public isn't negatively fazed if it's a Bears team.

    What will be Perth Red's excuse for not supporting the Perth Bears?

    When the Perth Bears come into the competition, Perth Red will inevitably find some excuse for why they're not good enough to support, even though he has whined about not having a Perth team for two decades.

    And if they buy Super League and rebrand it to NRL Europe etc, they end up with around the clock content 4-5 days a week for 8-9 months of the year.

    PNG's back.

    I'd say they'd want to lock up the PNG deal before the next election. That way if the Liberals win, they risk PNG's ire if they undo the deal. It doesn't mean that they'll be the 18th team necessarily. It could be that Perth comes in first and PNG comes in a little bit later, even if they're...
