18th club, whose next?

[Brian potter]

Maybe the mine in Featherstone will blow up and kill the remaining 5k people who live in the town and toulose can come up

Or Toulouse could beat featherstone on the pitch and gain promotion back into super league?

Maybe poms could stop whinging for a while and look at the positives.

That’s highly unlikely

And huddersfield with crowds of under 5k kicked out replaced by Toronto who average over 10k

when it comes to failed expansion pommies have a better idea than Aussies so perhaps people should listen to you

how to make rugby league a small sport
Take. A big rugby league comp and listen to a pom

Argue about the timing if you want but a 20 team comp is just about a certainty

If/when it gets to 20 it will most likely be 3 of Perth, PNG, NZ2 (Christchurch or Wellington) or Brisbane 3. So one of those will miss out plus Adelaide, Christchurch/Wellington, Auckland 2, CQ, Sunshine Coast, Melbourne 2, Bears etc. Not impossible to see it going past 20 with decent options still on the table assuming nothing changes and relocations remain unlikely.

In theory with a few international teams and decent pathways all across Australia, NZ & the Pacific the NRL having 22 or 24 teams is not out of the question. Compare to main rival AFL who will go to at least 20 with teams all in Australia, players all from Australia and much larger squads.

19th team Souths-Logan magpies.

It is probably now or never for the Bears and Jets with V’landys a sucker for nostalgia. Whether they can come up with an arrangement that suits any of Perth/Christchurch/Wellington/Adelaide/Brisbane 3 for any of teams 18-20 remains to be seen.

 

[bad boy bubby]

I wonder if he has his eye on the arlc chairman position in future years?

He's 80 next year. Most certainly that would his eye be cast...

Fine be a twat, it’s on par for you

Someone said on Twitter a new team by 2026 is a chance

the delays due to the cba aren’t helping it

2026 sounds right.

Logan magpies set up at Logan sports center which is almost in middle between Ipswich & Logan council areas.

How rugby league could stop China’s march in the Pacific

A sport played predominantly on the Australian eastern seaboard could hold the key to Canberra’s foreign policy in the region, and help keep China at bay in the Pacific.

Gee that is solid. I’m hoping against hope they announce Perth as the 18th club this weekend
