18th club, whose next?

[Pippen94]

We shall see.......

I predicted dolphins years out - you were saying firehawks the day before dolphins were announced

It'll be PNG, Vlandys MO has always been to leak stuff out before anything official.
Perth will be club 19 with some serious State Govt support announced.
Hopefully NZ2 will be club 20.
You Broncos haters can jump on board with the Phins.

I told you a year ago a png team was a chance under an albanese govt and you and your dopey mates all had a good laugh

and now here we are.

Ive never said there isnt demand for watching brisbane clubs in brisbane, what ive said is the fact of the matter is Ch9 paid nothing for Brisbane2.
Given that fact there is no reason to believe they would be any different when it came to Brisbane3. No point compromising growth of the game in new markets when tv isnt going to pay for consolidation of sticking to same old same old.

FFS

You argued ad nauseum that V'landys left money on the table by not taking the rights to tender. Now you're arguing that Ch9 paid market value.

Which is it?

Im saying the sum total of Dolphins admission from FTA was $0. We can only speculate if Vlandys is a terrible leader who should be sacked or Ch9 didnt see enough value in Brisbane2 to put up more money, or a bit of both. Either way the outcome was the same.

I have no doubt you're delusional enough to believe this is true.

You've been pumping up Perth for 15 years. The administrators have not done any of the things you've predicted.

You don't learn from your mistakes.

We've never had a proactive WA Govt like this before.
If NRL is serious about getting to 20 clubs in next decade we will be in. If they are only looking at 18 its a long shot seeing as Albo seems to have got his way.

Proactive wa govt (for Perth) = good
Proactive fed govt for png = bad

Difference is WA govt wont likely be funding the club, the club will be self sustaining. Thats the massive difference between the two scenarios. Its strange you dont understand this?
A better analogy would be the tassie Govt directly funding the Tassie AFL club, which I think is equally ridiculous. These are money making businesses and should be standing on their own two feet not leeching off tax payers.

By all means build facilities that benefit the community, stadiums that entertain the masses, pay for kids to take up sport etc but funding clubs directly because they are unsustainable otherwise seems a gross waste of taxpayer money and is doomed to long term failure.

Exactly wa govt is offering Jack sheet in comparison.

There's little in it for Perth. Double headers draw considerable interstate travelers. Local team does nothing

Perth isn't sustainable

 

[Perth Red]

and yet the WA govt is campaigning and willing to invest to get one. Go figure!

They will in all likelihood invest in infrastructure and grassroots. Not the running cost of the club. they've been pretty clear about that. Have you been following the threads?

30 million isn’t going to be enough

sorry brisbane tigers it is then

enough for what?

Im hoping an investment of around $155mill from WA govt will see us over the line. Presuming the consortiums business case stacks up.

The stadium would be shared by 3 codes so divide the stadium spend by 3

would need 150 to 200 million exclusively on rugby league to get the nod
