18th club, whose next?

[Bukowski]

Certainly not for jnrs and grassroots clubs!
Its the ARLCs mandate to grow and fund grassroots. Of which 97% goes to the two states with pokies I might add.

It makes you wonder what the A in ARLC stands for

Not so sure about European competitions but the super rugby comps are on thin ice and it will be interesting to see the state of play in say the next 5-10 years.

It’s all gone quite.

they better get their skates on though if they plan on bringing team 18 in by 2027 or even more so 2025 as their needs to be a bidding process and then recruitment drive by the successful bid.

I think the boat sailed on relocation a while ago.

Anyway, if any club hits the skids they'd likely just ba bailed out as-is.

The North Sydney Bears are through to the NSW Cup Grand Final to face South Sydney next weekend.
The Rabbitohs defeated the Bears last weekend 30-24 after leading 6-24 at half time.
WA South Perth Lions Prop Kurt De Luis was easily the Bears best in their 28-24 win over the NZ Warriors today.
