I think I'll take Politis's opinion over yours.

I’ll take broadcasters opinion over the voices iin your head

clubs want to have their say on who gets the 18th spot


“But clubs have already discussed only agreeing to new licence agreements with conditions that would provide them with a vote on how expansion would work.”

Is it? Deal doesn't run out till 2028 so how is it getting 'redone'?

Well they havent for PNG, NZ2 or anywhere else lol
In fact given tv's main goal is to get the rights for as cheap as possible I very much doubt they are going to be talking up anywhere too much.
Ch9 offered over $500mill for a 5 capital city sports product recently. Maybe should tell us something?

I was under the impression they already had to be consulted, hence all the palaver over the Dolphins admission? Like the players CBA the devils in the detail, consultation or agreement? very different things!

They have for Brisbane

based on how lacklustre the bidding was last time for the afl maybe we shouldn’t be copying them so much

You better hope master politician vlandys stays in power long enough to deliver 20 teams because a dope like Dave smith or John grant would get eaten alive by the clubs and the rlpa

Lackluster? they got three bidders and blew the rights value out the water. How's that lackluster? They went from about $380mill to $570mill tv value. If that's lackluster we can only hope we get anywhere near in 2028!

Proof is always in the eating, one of your articles was pre Dolphins, yet when push came to shove Ch9 paid nothing extra.

No-ones caved in like this mob. Massively upped the club grant and salary cap and stripped grassroots of funding to pay for it. And thats a good outcome for the game?

You’re only chance for an nrl team in Perth in the next decade or more is with pvl buddy

despite all your rubbish about him the guy does things not talks about doing things and does nothing

That may well be true, but so is my statement lol They've stripped grassroots funding to pay for increased club and player payment. You be the judge if thats a good thing long term for the game.

As for Vlandys being our best chance, tbh he comes across pretty old fashioned and myopic about the futre of the game so we shall see. I am fully expecting we will miss out again. Not becuase Perth couldnt be a succesful and valuable addition to the NRL, but because the leadership is short sighted and doesnt really believe our game can grow beynd its traditional heartlands.

 

[Perth Red]

The two masterminds think theres not enough talent for Club 18

 

[The Great Dane]

Apologies, I thought you were talking about dckheads

That's fair actually.

 

[The Great Dane]

Using that logic there'll never be enough talent, because the opportunity has to exist before somebody can take it.

You have to accept that sometimes the quality of the on field product is going to have to take a hit in the short term so that the game has the capacity to grow into the future.

These are also the same blokes that said that there're wasn't enough talent to sustain a 17th team, both are deeply biased with their own agendas within the sport, and neither can be described as deep thinkers.

Get over the rusted on afl comment lmao

he’s literally admitted he’s wrong

20 teams is no means a certainty but if vlanyds stays in power the odds are excellent

clubs will fall into line because of the money it generates

vlandys already has uncle Nick on side he’s the most important one

I`m still not convinced that the extra funding for the clubs wasn`t to ensure that the clubs are wealthy enough to:
a) compete with fumbleball for the best juniors which is happening more and more in N.S.W. and Qld now;
b) continue to denude union of its` best juniors and thereby continue to cripple that competitor. I even just read today about two more schoolboy union stars who have signed up for the Panthers and St. George.

By both ensuring we get and retain the best talent is probably the most sure-fire way of maintaining our status as the most popular television code in the country. The rest will eventually look after itself. Hopefully.
