18th club, whose next?

[Perth Red]

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

haha thats some dumb arse logic there. The amount is far less important than the outcome.

That should be your standard response to any time someone asks you anything about rugby league mate

Imagine being stupid enough to argue the dolphins are worth nothing to nine and foxsports

The second biggest rugby league club on earth in a city which leaves and breathes the sport

Not only does he think the world's second biggest RL club is worth nothing to the broadcasters. He has deluded himself into believing a Perth team is guaranteed to get the 19th licence because a) it is supported by a pawnbroker and b) five sports have a higher profile than the NRL!

I think the dolphins can maybe get to number one

shame bennett is leaving

and all those idiots who said the dolphins were a bad choice and their crowds would be poor

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.

What makes you think Perth is guaranteed a spot ahead of Brisbane Tigers and NZ2?

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

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.

What makes you think a $155m investment will get a Perth-based club into NRL when there's a richer and more viable bid in Brisbane?

The Queensland Gov has a long history of supporting rugby league. There's a question mark over how much support our game will get from future WA Govs.

If it comes down to the business case then Perth is f**ked!

The Tigers will command more revenue from sponsorship, corporate hospitality, ticketing and membership. It'll also have access to gaming revenue.

We know which bid has support from the broadcasters.

Dane is still saying they're a failure. He also reckons the Tigers have little money and won't generate as much as the Pirates. These people are f**ked in the head.

There are no guarantees, especially in RL! But we may have a strong case and stronger than NZ who have no case at the moment.
I dont think it will be Brisbane3 because I dont think Broncos, Dolphins and Titans will allow it. Not that they dont have a strong case in of itself.
But NRL is super conservative historically so nothing would surprise me.

 

[blue bags]

Ok I have the blueprints
Multiple regional area's

The expansionists say we need a Perth-based team to be national and not viewed as a "two state game". If 25 years of the Melbourne Storm hasn't changed the perception that rugby league is a "two state game" then I'd like PR to explain why he thinks the West Coast Pirates will be the solution.

I have the blueprints
On 20 team's
That includes all Australia. Including Hobart Tasmania
Adelaide. Perth
All of Pacifica. Papa New Guinea. NZ

People said Dolphins wouldn't get in because of Broncos and Titans.

Vlandys flew to America and got approval first. Broncos chose dolphins, not the arlc.

I notice he sent Abdo to PNG, didn't go himself.

'No brainer': NRL set to expand after $100m Peter V'landys deal

A whopping budget surplus thanks to a huge new TV rights deal has allowed rugby league boss Peter V'landys to move forward with a massive NRL project. Read more here.

Dolphins already are sought after by channel nine unlike your raiders

That article doesn't address my point...

I wish that it did, because that way the game wouldn't have been undersold again, but it doesn't, and no amount of puff pieces in the media and gaslighting will change it.

This is just an assumption on your behalf.

How about this for an idea...

NRL announces Perth & NZ 2 as teams 18 and 19 - in either order, or even added at the same time.

For Perth, it's the Pirates bid.
For NZ2, throw it open to bids from NZ cities outside Auckland, choose NZ 2 on best business case.. and maybe have the Bears would be involved with one of those bids.

For team 20, throw it WIDE OPEN to bids from anywhere - Brisbane, Adelaide, NZ 3, you name it. Choose the most compelling business case.

Now, the chances are that Brisbane 3 (especially the Easts Tigers bid) will likely win the race for team 20, so as a contingency arrange regular games in Adelaide & some across NZ to get the buzz going there, with an eye on either relocation or expansion there if/when feasible.
