    PNG's back.

    There are no facts. There are no facts because heck they don’t even know how it is going to work. At one time it was going to be based in Cairns, now it is going to be based in PNG in a compound. Even the $600m was supposedly just going to education programs and for the team. Now a compound is...

    18th club, whose next?

    Context my friend. Population is just one element although it took me five seconds to cross check your population argument and it is wrong. Canberra has about 130k more people than CC https://worldpopulationreview.com/world-cities/canberra-population Central Coast also isn’t just one place...

    PNG's back.

    When Canberra, Newcastle, Penrith, Illawarra were launched it wasn’t a professional competition. Not a real comparison. Newcastle, Penrith and the Cowboys have also been on their arse financially and had to be bailed out and were nearly kicked out. PNG will be immeasurably harder to implement...

    18th club, whose next?

    Central Coast is also a mix of small towns or areas that have a tenuous link with one other. Think of a shire in England or North Queensland. It’s also surrounded by 10 other teams within a roughly two hour radius of each other. Lastly, why add another regional side to the competition? You and...

    18th club, whose next?

    Are you talking about CC stadium? Do you think one attendance over 20k is seriously going to lead to Gosford getting a stadium that large (and that’s even if it is possible from an engineering viewpoint)? If you are talking about playing their final at SFS/Allianz then yes they should do that...

    PNG's back.

    There is a difference between finding it hard and finding it impossible. That’s hardly hypocrisy. Again, if you have been to a third world or dangerous country you would understand the difference between that and Canberra which people might label “boring” or “unexciting” rather than life...

    PNG's back.

    I didn’t say I agreed at all. I was implying that you tend to go personal like a teenager because you’re immature. Canberra is hard and perhaps shouldn’t be in the competition (I have actually advocated for the Raiders to move from Canberra) however Port Moresby is on another level considering...

    Is that the best you can come up with? A red herring. It’s a dumb idea and the only argument for it is that we are getting some government money

    25 Teams. 5 Divisions.

    I think it has plenty to do with division of talent. The competition has become way more skewed - in the last twenty years we have had probably two dominant clubs in the Roosters and Storm with Penrith and Manly having a good period. That surely is an anomaly. To me this is proof that the...

    C’mon mate players left right and centre will want to go to this compound instead of going to Brisbane or Sydney

    They can’t follow two sports?

    25 Teams. 5 Divisions.

    This week is the counterargument. It’s been absolutely the highest of s*** this weekend. Another thing which I said in an earlier post is the competition is super predictable atm and has been for a long time. I can guess that the competition winners are going to come from either Penrith...

    Again right on. Wasn’t he proposing to bring the Bears back as a NSW country side? You know just from that where his interests are

    Exactly.

    18th club, whose next?

    That’s very unlikely to happen, particularly the Central Coast. For good reason on the latter.

    18th club, whose next?

    Well, if not one sided, then very much in favour of Manly https://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/head2head/manly-warringah-sea-eagles-vs-north-sydney-bears/nrl/summary.html

    To be fair I say the same s*** to Pips with his nonsense mate. I don’t think it should happen as it’s absolute lunacy. But it looks likely that it will happen.

    PNG's back.

    Do you mean the amount of reports indicating that it is going to be the next side(or at least the next two sides) is not enough for you to think that it is more possible than not? The best anybody can say, until it is actually announced, is whether it is likely, and you or I can only go by what...

    PNG's back.

    I agree Newcastle, Canberra and a few others are very unattractive relatively speaking but they are like Bondi compared to PNG. The only real way a location like this could work is probably through a draft and a higher salary cup.

    PNG's back.

    They are going pretty far down the process to then suddenly flip against it. It’s likely it is going to happen now whether we like it or not. It is the same as those claiming that despite V’Landys saying that Perth is on a hit list for expansion that it is all just a ruse. People can only go by...
