It's settled!
The posters from Perth have laid all the cards on the table and decided Perth is needed to make rugby league great again.
The broadcasters really want this team because regular season NRL games on 9Gem draw 6-15k viewers in Perth. The Pirates will bring our next broadcast deal in...
Time for V'landys to speak with Foxtel and Ch9 about funding a development competition in the summer. Have 8 teams compete against one another over 3 months. Potential expansion teams like the Brisbane Tigers, North Sydney Bears, Ipswich Jets, CQ Capras, West Coast Pirates, Wellington Orcas, PNG...
