18th club, whose next?

[Dark Corner]

Cc will have population bigger than Canberra in a few years

Love to see tht Stadium used full time and its a great looking location.

 

[bad boy bubby]

Teams 18-19 will be Perth and/or Bris3, not sure of which order.
Team 20 will be the real fight for right campaign, Adelaide(Bears), PNG, NZ2.
Or the Sharks to be kicked out

 

[Perth Red]

You linked article saying they working with bears!! If that embarrasses you don't do that next time.
Wonder if Benny & sage are involved somewhere?!

No, can you read? It says there’s a perth consortium willing to talk to the bears but ready to go it alone. Sheesh your hard work!

The Perth syndicate hoping to build a standalone NRL expansion franchise is pushing ahead with their plan - but are happy to talk with the North Sydney Bears

Cronulla's not going anywhere.

I cannot see PNG ever getting a team. NZ2 and Adelaide are a long shot.

Only because it's slowly being swallowed up by Sydney.

Some government departments are already treating it and Wollongong as part of Sydney for administerial purposes, because they know that they'll effectively be outer suburbs of Sydney within this lifetime.

Then all the better to have a full time Sydney team playing out of the CC as same as the Gong.

Nothing confirmed. NRL can't just accept any bid either if something does materialize. Has to be stronger than tigers & png

Why do poms living thousands of kilometres away think they're experts on Sydney and its football teams?

Well I'm an expert on English clubs. There are too many teams in Hull, 1 should be forced to move to Edinburgh.

You are right except it's been going on for at least 13 years now.
I had 5 different federal govt contracts, and being Sydney based meant my area covered basically from Wyong in the north, Katoomba to the West and Dapto in the south, plus everything in between.

Perhaps in a timeframe a a little more than a few years but nevertheless it’s largely irrelevant. You already have 10 other sides adjacent to the area. People already follow the game and can attend games when they want.

No difference to people on the east coast thinking they are an expert on rugby league in Perth.

 

[Centy Coast]

Bears?! Sounds great but they now working with png

Bears aren’t working with PNG at all but they are keeping very quiet atm, the Bears won’t reveal anything until it is time for bids to be submitted.
Until then it is all just media speculation.

 

[Centy Coast]

Love to see tht Stadium used full time and it’s a great looking location.

Sellout crowd last night at Central Coast Stadium formerly known as Bluetongue Stadium for the CCMariners v Adelaide A-League game 20,060.
Funny thing is back in 2010 I attended a Manly v Wests Tigers game at Bluetongue Stadium and the crowd was 20,059 and in 2011 I attended another game featuring Manly and the Wests Tigers again at Bluetongue Stadium and the crowd was again 20,059.

Big difference. The first is your mate Perth Parasite is an afl fan who wants a team in Perth for no other reason than he might go to a game or two a year when his fumbleball mob aren't playing. So he sprouts these fantastical figures on how big the crowds and membership and support will be based on one off events.

The second is that everyone in Australia knows that League is not strong in WA, unfortunately pea brains want to tell you differently for their own agenda not realising, due to their pea brainliness, that I and others do not swallow shit.

Thirdly, I don't live on the east coast so if you were directing that at me, see point number 2.

 

[Canard]

The Dolphins admission to the comp has hurt the Cowboys more then any other team in the NRL, in terms of talent retention.

Another Brisbane team will likely be curtains for the Cowboys long term sustainability as a competitive team.
