    26 June expansion meeting (Predictions?)

    I think they’ll do something small on the Friday so as not to take away from the do-or-die clash in SoO…. Maybe to say that they have decided to expand to 20 teams by 2030, criteria they looked at to make their decision and some of the ins & outs of the process; and will promise a more detailed...

    26 June expansion meeting (Predictions?)

    Looking at the state the game was in pre-PVL; I don’t think 30 years is that slow in the end. Greenberg had basically over-inflated head office and the NRL was bleeding money in departments it didn’t need…. They weren’t even in a position to bring in 1 new team; let alone another 4 in 10 years...

    26 June expansion meeting (Predictions?)

    I’d say that Perth Bears will be announced as the 18th team to be introduced in 2027. There will be leaks from the meeting about the order of who will be introduced when but officially it will be announced in Round 22 when the Dolphins host the Roosters in Perth. Order will be Perth 2027, PNG...

    Expansion of the Women's Competition

    NRL’s Facebook page just confirmed that the newest NRLW teams to added in 2025 will be the Bulldogs and reintroducing the Warriors.

    Hull Expansion/Merger/Destruction Thread

    Just let the NRL buy out the super league; V’landys merges the two terrible clubs in to one equally terrible club; a’la Wests Tigers, and props up expansions in unsafe countries like Bulgaria, Chechnya, and Liverpool.

    bears relocation list..

    As lo As long as it’s not operated by the RAN, otherwise it’ll be more dead in the water than the NS Bears bid is.

    Northern Eagles. Central Coast. Gosford

    This may add a bit of insult to those on the CC, but I would prefer that Manly absorbed the CC into its region and played 1/3 or 1/2 their home games at Gosford, as well as the Dragons playing more games down in Wollongong. Manly need to spread out of their peninsula and Gosford provides them a...

    Northern Eagles. Central Coast. Gosford

    Unfortunately a Gosford/Central Coast team should come in at the expense of another Sydney team, whether they go bust or voluntarily move there. The most likely would be the Roosters given the pathway teams they’ve established there and they’ve been taking games to Gosford every year for ages...

    An NRL franchise in Honolulu: what does everyone think.

    Yeah, this is why a Hawaiian team would need to be part of a restructured USARL rather than part of the Aus game. Logistical nightmare otherwise. On another note, the bears have already signalled their intentions for the US.

    What about Japanese Airlines?

    An NRL franchise in Honolulu: what does everyone think.

    Yeah, was a bit tongue in cheek. Definitely wouldn’t expect a serious franchise there to be called the Bombers.

    An NRL franchise in Honolulu: what does everyone think.

    I don’t think a Honolulu based team is totally ridiculous… maybe not for the NRL but with the prospect of a US “NRL” gaining more and more traction it would probably be a good thing for some of the lost teams to align themselves with new US franchises. With a Polynesian population that doesn’t...

    West Coast Pirates Bid News

    Yeah, I remember the Titans debacle. They actually had cleared the use of the Dolphins name with Miami but forgot to check their own backyard. Redcliffe basically blocked them from using the name Dolphins because of their own ambitions to join the NRL (which obviously became reality). "Emblem...
