    Welcome to the comp, Redcliffe.

    I couldn’t agree more. Plopping a new franchise team in a city/town/region that doesn’t have an existing team in the NRL is ideal for places like Perth, Adelaide etc. but for Brisbane it’s not. even a rebranding of East’s to Firehawks is a stretch. Some people here have no idea what it means...

    Welcome to the comp, Redcliffe.

    THE JETS confirmed as the 18th team

    18th club, whose next?

    Going by the vibe & media releases it seems an 18th team by 2028 is almost a certainty, And Perth does seem like the front runner. I do believe SQLD could definitely support another team between Ipswich/Logan/Southside. maybe give the Phins some time to build a decent fan base and carve out the...

    The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

    That’s how I’m reading it too. There seems to be bugger all tix left on Ticketek

    The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

    Looks like Manly will be a sell out. They’re saying less the 500 tix left.

    18th team will be logan ipswich

    If you look at the two biggest sporting markets in Australia it’s as clear as methheads pipe that it’s, Sydney NRL (9 Clubs), and Melbin Afl (9 Clubs). So using that logic if SQLD had more clubs it could reach the heights of the other two. What’s stoping it being as big? not enough...

    NRL Reserve grade?

    They’d be better off just bringing back the 20’s comp. With each NRL side fielding a side and it being the game before the main.

    Poll: When will the NRL make a definite announcement on team 18?

    If the dolphins rate as well as the broncos on tv and if they have some success on the field it could be within the next 12 months. I’m sure the NRL, fans, and clubs won’t like the bye round. We need the ratings for the broadcasters and crowds/results on the field for the Phins for the fans and...

    The Game 2023 NRL draw

    all games have potential to sell out. So not the worst opening draw I’ve seen. For Ratings wise I would’ve put the Dolphins/Roosters game on 8pm friday. Oh man cowboys 4:30pm kick off, it’ll be a scorcher.

    The Game 2023 NRL draw

    This probably confirms that Penrith vs St.Helens Will be two weeks prior to season launch, and the Saints vs Saints game will be the week before, with the dragons having the first week bye.

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

    what’s stopping investors? Clubs not being in major cities and new areas where investors are from, Perth, Wellington, Adelaide etc. a pretty low ceiling that currently exists.

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

    I know it’ll probably never happen but the answer to a lot of these questions is remove the salary cup and bring in promotion/relegation. Big funded clubs will rise and bring in big investors. current so called smaller teams like some here state (Sharks example) will find their niche and proper...

    Your ideal Round 1 fixtures for 2023?

    Cowboys shouldn’t have a home game until at least the 3rd round because of the heat and weather. Even Night games would be crazy hot. Especially next year with the comp starting early.

    West Coast Pirates Bid News

    There’s already West coast, Western, and Perth geographical names teams. So Western State Would at least be unique. Also calling them WA wouldn’t make sense if your looking into the future and wanting them part of SOO.

    West Coast Pirates Bid News

    W Would the geographical name Western State work? I’d personally go with The Western State Quokkas

    Team 20 - Who? Adelaide or Queensland 5?

    I feel Melbourne is a lot harder market for the NRL. The Storm are great on/off the field but for all that they still struggle with juniors and even getting on the main FTA channel. The Time slots definitely give Perth an advantage. for teams 23/24. I’d possibly look at PNG if the countries...

    Team 20 - Who? Adelaide or Queensland 5?

    If think the NRL’s magic number should be 24 and each team playing each other once in the regular season. 2025/27 18th team North Perth Bears. Based out of Perth. With 2 games played at NSO. Maybe take a double header to Perth annually with the bears as the away team. It would still give Perth...

    The Game 2023 Jerseys, Sponsorship, Logos etc

    If the Kings Logo was in the red/Gold it would’ve blended in so much better. Still it’s not too bad. 6/10 overall.
