dont be a dck,
I want the best chance for any new expansion club to be successful. So why the rush when tv increased revenue wont come in till 2028?

Central Coast, Newcastle and Wollongong should have teams of their own.

St George should play mine games at Wollongong Showgrounds. Any game they hold in Sydney should be at the SFS against a traditional rival, like the Roosters, Sharks and Rabbitohs.

I'd like to see the Bears come back as the "Central Coast Bears" and for a small club with no future, like the Tigers, to relocate permanently to Perth so they can have a chance to be somewhat relevant. Unfortunately that's not going to happen. We're stuck with small clubs that have no future.

The Tigers are the definition of insanity.

Should’ve been dragons and Steelers as standalone teams and sharks booted

what happened was just a stupid result for the game

Completely agree on the Dragons, WIN and SFS are their future.

Disagree on the Tigers, they have a massive fanbase similar to the Doggies. Both clubs just need to get themselves off the bottom

Looks like all 3 teams will be included in the next tv deal

networks are going to go nuts with all that extra content

The nrl will end up down the track with a tv deal that’s a billion dollars pa

Actually I got my maths wrong lol, they'll have a two year lead in anyways if they enter 2027, all good get Perth announced in October for March 2027 KO!

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

On club 18 admission, why the rush for 2027? With decision not due till presumably after the GF it doesnt leave a lot of start up time.

Id have thought giving a new club, and presuming it isnt East it will be a new club, a 2 year lead in would be much better than rushing them in in with just 12 months lead time? New tv deal doesn't start till 2028 as well.

V'landys is butchering the expansion process. He's setting team 18 and 19 up to fail by not giving them enough time to establish an NRL standard roster while they're trying to create a fanbase from scratch in vulnerable markets. Both clubs will weaken existing clubs. The quality of the competition will decline. It'll be a repeat of Suns and Giants but much worse, due to the lack of a draft and variable funding scheme.

He who hesitates loses
Waiting means nz or png takes it

who knows pvl could have a heart attack and we got another gallop, smith or Beattie running the game

How long did the dolphins have ?

 

[Perth Red]

I wonder if Puddy will launch a Western Reds bid? He has in the past seemingly not wanted to partner with Cumins and has stated numerous times he has backers willing to support a return of the Reds. I wonder if he'll put in a rival bid to whatever comes out from the Perth consortium? As far as I know he hasnt been involved witht he WA govt work to date.

@Get Rid of The Donkeys don’t discount the value of a Fiji / Pacifica side one day

Fiji would only be viable if the govt was to chuck in millions and millions like PNG, and like PNG you'd have to ask the WIFM for Australian RL.

Norths may put in a stand alone bid aswell.

If anyone is ever wondering what my opinion on something is. Just read this guys opinion and go as far opposite as you can.

Suggesting there are more options and opportunities outside of the Cumins bid now are you?

Where have I heard that before? lol

I doubt it, they wouldnt have a chance, the WA govt has already said it prefers not to see them in Perth.
NRL isnt going to go against the State govt and risk losing the funding for pathways, not to mention could you imagine the fan and media response here if a Sydney team got in over a local Perth bid?

I reckon if its a no to the Perth Bears they might resurrect the Pacifika idea as last gasp hope to give the NRL an alternative to PNG, maybe even linking with the Fiji bid.

Bears Bid For The Pacific - North Sydney Bears

As talks heat up regarding the NRL's plans for an 18th team, the Bears remain front and centre in discussions among key stakeholders. Media speculation has gone wild again this week on the back of two things, firstly Prime Minister Albanese's plan of large scale backing of a PNG NRL team as a...

If it’s announced in say October … it’s like two and a half years until they play their first game in 2027… why isn’t that enough time ?

The 2028 TV deal will be negotiated next year … they can kick in some more money for the extra game in 2027…

You’ve been shitting on anyone suggesting Cumins group being left out.
In fact you’re having a losing argument now over how much you believe every word that comes from that pawn shop dude.
