    No expansion for 10 years?

    W Wheres the evidence that the north shore/CC has no representation just because their isn't a team based there? By your logic it would then be a bigger mistake to admit the Bears while the 1.2 million people of SEQ that don't live in Brisbane or Gold Coast have no NRL representation while a...

    Should NRL sponsor Touch footy?

    LeagueTag would be the best form to use. as a lot of potential, and could be a big weapon for the ARLC in developing and promoting the game. The non-contact nature and need for less equipment would make rego and insurance costs significantly less. Arguable the best way to utilize it would be...

    Uneven team numbers

    And what does an of that have to do with Bears fans whinging CC RL fans will support other codes if they don't get a team.

    Uneven team numbers

    If CC people are going to switch codes when RL is in their DNA, they have several teams within a 60-75 minute drive of them, get several games at blue tongue every year, 3 games a week on FTA and no other code has any intention of putting a team their either then that's just sad. And if you...

    Sports teams with the highest salaries

    They may only get 20k crowds, but each team plays over 40 home games and they certainly charge for the tickets. They bring 40+ million a year from gate receipts. Then there's the billions they get from broadcasts rights. NFL teams have relatively lower average salary's because of there high...

    English opinion on ARL commission

    If wanting the money that ARLC earns over the next 5 years to be first spent on making sure the great game and great competition we have wached and loved for 100 years is safe secure and sustainable 10,15 20 years into the future and the other half of this country gets the proper access to the...

    English opinion on ARL commission

    Because soccer is a game that has dozens of large professional competitions worldwide, and an already strong and competitive international roster. AF on the other hand is closer in level to RL. One major pro comp, 1 median size comp, but very little publically known professional competition...

    English opinion on ARL commission

    Well let me put this to you, how many people from Australia or South Africa or Russia or England are going to prefer watching a gridiron game between their country and another country over a game between the Giants and the Cowboys or the Steelers and the 49's. If people are watching Rl for the...

    English opinion on ARL commission

    Most teams making losses on a yearly basis, half this country's population having no or little access to the game, the other half needing a major boost in funding, many teams playing out of substandard stadiums, not to mention expansion and increased operating costs. Glad to see your where your...

    English opinion on ARL commission

    Well, the same could be asked what would be more interesting for Americans, an international between the USA and Canada or a club game between 2 American clubs e.g New York and Washington. Would Americans be more interested in more internationals or a club competition. The best way to develop...

    Concessions for new teams

    As all thing are meant to be equal, no new clubs shouldn't have salary cap concessions. There is no reason that they shouldn.t be able to develop a squad as strong with the same money.

    iSelect Gold Coast Titans granted new license

    Why would a bunch of Gold Coast businessman want to stick their money into a WC bid? If they wanted a team at any cost they already would be backing another bid. Clearly they want to back a team that they support and/or from their local area that allows them to help the community.

    Richardson calls for suburban footy to be axed

    Great idea, if you want the 4 RL teams paying higher rental fees then the Titans currently play.

    Central Coast Bears, 2013.

    WHat exactly makes the Titans unsustainable. If it's the fact that the COE put them into big debt, how is that showing the city can't sustain a side as opposed to one guy doing foolish things. But whats the point, bring back the Bears, death to the Qld expansion teams aye? Makes it very hard...

    Central Coast Bears, 2013.

    History also shows us that the Bears were kicked out of the comp. It also shows us that as a whole both the code and the sport are in a better position now then it was back then, should we take that to mean that the Bears shouldnt be bought back because the code has evolved past them. The...

    Central Coast Bears, 2013.

    No they dont. Brisbane are the most profitable club in the comp, and the Cowboys are sustainable as well. The Titans problems stem from one man doing to much to fast in an economic downturn and it coming back to bite him in the ass. You can bet they would also be a sustainable club if they...

    Regional Cities Plan

    I'm pretty sure It's been stated plenty of times already how many people CQ has. Ever been to Bundy? Ever driven to Brisbane or Rocky from Bundy? It doesnt sound like it. Becuase if you had, you would know a good stretch of the Bundy to Brisbane trip is 90km/h, followed by a host of roadworks...
