  1. The Great Dane

    Pacific Islander owned 18th NRL club.

    The articles are behind a paywall, but apparently this is a thing. It's probably a fanciful nonsense idea, but worth looking into nonetheless. I hope it's not the same consortium of NFL guys that have been going around trying to buy a pro Union club over the past few years, as their plans...

    PNG's back.

    Papua New Guinea launches bid to become NRL’s 18th team I'll be surprised if there isn't significant political pressure to make a PNG side happen. It shouldn't happen under any circumstances, but they might actually be in with chance considering the political environment in the region.

    Whom could have predicted this?

    Dolphins v Moreton Bay: NRL’s newest club doubles down on name Dolphins double down as naming drama erupts Don't say you weren't warned... The only way these issues could have been mitigated is with a neutral brand, but as things stand it won't always be at the forefront, but these issues...

    The importance of product availability

    Basic marketing theory suggests that the ease of access to a product, or it's availability, is directly linked to how popular that product will be. In other words the more convenient it is to consume a product the more it will be consumed. Whether they realise it or not, the AFL have embraced...

    "It’s very realistic to say that we’ll have a second team in Brisbane in 2023": V'landys

    https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/it-s-very-realistic-to-say-that-we-ll-have-a-second-team-in-brisbane-in-2023-v-landys-nrl-bombshell-20210131-p56y80.html Turns out that V'landys and the commission may be much more serious about expansion than previous administrations, which is great, but it...

    News Peter V'landys vows to bring back all three grades on footy game day.

    Hawaii

    For about a decade now I've thought that Hawaii is the next big market outside of Aus and NZ that every major competition in the Pacific will target in the future, and that RU and RL in particular are in a race to be the first one to get there. Hawaii is the last big market in the Pacific that...

    Perez's opinion on NRL expansion and the future of the NRL.

    https://www.nrl.com/news/2019/04/14/wolfpack-boss-says-expansion-vital-for-nrl-to-avoid-being-left-behind/ I have some minor disagreements on some things with him, but broadly speaking he's basically 100% correct. I just hope that the NRL listens to people like him like the RFL has.

    NRL: Lets talk about relocating teams, says QRL boss.

    Brad Fittler calls for Manly to merge with North Sydney Bears to make 'behemoth' club.

    Should the NRL buy a stake in the ARU?

    http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/nrl-should-buy-a-stake-in-aru-to-increase-codes-marketability-20141228-12ejvl.html I know people will be inclined to just blow this idea off, but in my opinion it has some merit. It would give the ARLC a lot of new tools to spread RL across...

    Roos vs Wobbles.

    http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/kangaroos-may-play-wallabies-in-blockbuster-hybrid-match-20130817-2s3jn.html Most likely nothing will come of it which is good because I think it's a bad idea and I always have. David Smith would be better off spending his time working on...

    Why is there no WNRL.

    Mods I'm not really sure if this is the right place for this thread so sorry in advance if it is in the wrong place. The lack of a women's national competition is something that has been bothering me for some years now and I think has a certain amount of significance to our sport and our...

    Strange Tidings, a NFL player trains with the Raiders.

    Sounds like if his Mrs. gets her way he will be wearing lime green some time in the future, I doubt anything more then the odd training session will come of it but who knows.

    Will we ever forgive and forget?

    I was talking to a friend to day, and naturally for us the conversation turned towards Rugby League. For whatever reason we started talking about the SuperLeague, and how we were both on different sides of the "war", eventually he asked me a question and that question was "do you think that...
