We get it you don’t like Perth but any area in Australia or NZ is different to PNG. You know it because you even argued it yourself.
My main contention with Perth is its time zone and small RL fanbase make it next to worthless to the FTA component of the broadcasters rights. Its junior base is too small and amateurish to provide more than a few plodders to the talent pool.
If the goal is to expand the talent pool then Perth fails miserably. If the goal is to wring more money out of the broadcasters then it fails miserably.
Thus it begs the question.
What value does Perth provide?
It'll never be anything but a smaller and more unviable version of the Titans.
Why waste an NRL licence on such an unproductive market when we've got a 100+ year old behemoth in Coorparoo that's ready to go and has support from Ch9 and the QRL?
