No he said team 18 should also be from Brisbane
He actually said that one of the failed bids 'COULD' be team 18.
This happens quite a lot im afraid, if its not all about Perth, then its a failure...
haha COULD. Politis is smart, he knows the best revenue growth opportunity for the NRl is to have Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane3 in the comp.
Its not grant time now, and its the ARLC who are talking about it, not the clubs
you do realise travel for Wellington or PNG would be same or worse than Perth? Or are we putting a 3 hr travel limit on any new NRL club? lol
NRL/ARLC have been the ones trying to get clubs to agree to it for two decades! Clubs will keep refusing because a break away is the only threat they have other than removing Directors.
It’s the arlc talk of Sydney clubs being forced to relocate to qld or Perth will never happen (the boss of the qrl wanted a Sydney team moved to Perth so qld could get another nrl club)
I said 5 minimum, not 3 are you unable to comprehend numbers that's a lot of flight time to be airborne, especially when your injured or hurting, but going off the pirates sg ball team scores, the only injuries might be winners cramps for over-celebrating... nah seriously, i get other codes have teams in WA, and travel isn't everything, but YOU need to convince the other 17 clubs that your better or can offer something more than the nothing your offering, if your not providing players right now, what are you worth, coz any bid that wins, ANY bid gets a 9th game and a larger broadcast deal, its about what NRL gets out of it for going to Perth, over somewhere close like another qld bid
Ok but it doesn't change the fact that the licenses are set to be for 99 years, and if thats so nobody, I MEAN NOBODY goes anywhere unless they themselves choose to do so
It’s the arlc calming the clubs down so they don’t unite and stop expansion like they tried too with the dolphins
So no NRL team in PNG or Wellington? Both 4-6 hour flights
The Warriors have been in the NRL for 28 years, they have had multiple owners, they have been broke, they changed their colours to match their national side, they even straightened the tongue on their logo thinking the way the tongue was pointing was bad mojo, NZ is way bigger than PNG with lots of rugby union and league players and that’s not even going into the economics of PNG itself.
I doubt it, its more like to stop anyone talking about how the clubs should operate or where they shpuld operate, bruce hatcher is a fkn moron, he was the biggest rival to expansion, and now swung around as soon a the dolphins made a splash.. tge clubs will get on board if they see that there getting something out of expansion, players on the other hand are the major hurdle, RLPA are all about money, they wanted a vote, they can go and get f**ked, the only votes that should matter are the clubs themselves
Clubs know theres never been any real threat of them going anywhere, hence why for the last 20 years they have refused to sign perpetual licenses. In theory youd think they wan that becuase it gives them security, in reality they are under no threat of being kicked our or relocated so wont give up their only nargaining chip when it comes to grant negotiations time. If they are offering it then the NRl must be sweetening the deal with something? Theyve been trying for years!

Yeh the dope didn’t want the dolphins in the nrl since it would weaken his precious little qrl
Yep. Hopefully the bid has this money sorted and haven't got their hand out to the NRL.
Thats not a reason to expand, what are we getting in return? Sure as shit ain't players... the effort to travel outwards to Perth, PNG or Wellington etc, is only worth it if theres a carrot, you offer nothing but a city and a possibility of juniors in a decade, thats not an instant incentive to stick it out in WA, we have team in RL playing areas we are already doing that for, Gold coast is a prime example of that, the NRL want players and player stocks over this misguided perception of a "national" game... i mean how insulting is it to call the premier rugby comp in the world not worthy of recognition, just coz it never had a Perth team in this itteration of it
