18th club, whose next?

[Maximus]

It was the govts idea so sure pvl job is to milk them

every club getting 2 million more pa just means every club makes bigger profits and is worth more if they want to sell them

nrl must be one of the few sports in the world where all the clubs make profits

2m pa? Where is the 340m coming from? Not the govt. So the NRL is going to take 34m out of profits to bribe the other teams? That is a horrible result.

If it's from the increased TV deal, they would be entitled to that anyway, and they are likely getting a reduced increase than they would if another Australian team got introduced, since PNG adds no value, and only high costs for production.

Wait, PNG adds just as much value tv wise as any bid other than Brisbane. Tv/streaming pays for extra game.

There is more to the increase in value than just 'I've got an extra game to show'. Also, given the significant extra production costs required for games played in PNG, ch9 and Fox are not going to just accept the extra costs and lose money.

I fkn hate AFL with a passion, and RU is dying a very Very VERY slow death, but they are both getting all that tax payers funded bullshit, where the F**k is Ours?

Moana Pasifika and Fijian Drua have made Super Rugby Pacific a laughing stock.

Mate this is a leak and it will apparently be officially announced in September, believe/don’t believe that is up to you.
PNG Independance Day is the day.
I myself think it is a ridiculous decision, it is nothing but a political ploy.
I am just waiting until Team 19 gets approved.

If it is approved then V'landys will go down in history as the biggest dickhead to run a major sport in Australia.

 

[Centy Coast]

Which one of your stalkees told you that?

Looks like the media is onto it now, that didn’t take long lol

Perth Bears will be Team #19, current NSW Cup competition ladder

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

What's wrong with being poor?!

NRL isn't the Salvation Army.

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

..maybe part of tv money from extra game?!

If so then that's alright.

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

BTW if/when PNG gets up, it is a no brainer that Fiji will be on the phone to Albo next

Which is why V'landys is a dickhead for giving this dumbarse proposal oxygen. He could waste two vital licences on teams that provide zero commercial return and burden the game with massive logistical problems.

Lol, how often does nine show warriors games?!

Perth will cost just as much..

League is a game born out of the working class & poor. I would love for the people of PNG to have a team.

Can they pay the licence fee?!

I'd prefer they have running water, hospitals, food and live longer.

 

[Someguy]

lol now it’s a PNG team to stop belt and road. A few reports popping up about it

No, games in Perth will not cost as much as a 3rd world country.

The fear is that China will offer that so we going to give them football as a counter offer
