18th club, whose next?

[Centy Coast]

PNG don't need to generate game day revenue when they're getting $20m per annum from the Aus Gov. The other clubs won't have this luxury. Perth won't have the luxury of falling back on pokies.

Still PNG’s head will be on the chopping block every Federal Election ?, they then would have to rely on game day revenue lol.

Cowboys drew great crowds between 1995-98.

That’s great. That doesn’t disprove the fact that crowds on the whole were ordinary.

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

Perth red you half the people I’ve blocked like bukkake and maxipad, Dane …. People who only talk about Perth

then after everyone said oh yeh brisbane needed a second team if was a no brainer

I do recall Dane saying that if the competition was limited to 18 teams then Adelaide and Perth should be added. Brisbane 2 and NZ2 wouldn't get in under his model.

 

[Colk]

The fact they're broadcast into Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth on 9Gem shows how little they're worth to Ch9. A rerun of a movie from 1983 would pull better ratings. FTA networks aren't in the habit of paying large sums for filler content that they air on secondary channels.

Ditto with AwFuL on 7mate in Brisbane and Sydney.

You don’t know the monetary value though. That was the point.

That’s one person. Hardly an overwhelming number is it?

Luckily, the NRL can turn to Brisbane Tigers or North Sydney Bears to take their place.

That’s absolute crap and you know it.

You’re free to scour my comments if you like.

Cmon you thought Perth should be team 17 not brisbane

now the dolphins are a major success everyone is saying oh yeah brisbane needed another team

All the people arguing for Perth now said they should come in instead of Brisbane

How many AwFuL games are broadcast on Ch7 in Brisbane and Sydney?

The majority of their games are confined to 7mate because they don't rate. It's foolish to think AwFuL is getting a substantially larger deal than the NRL because they have the Lions, Suns, Swans and Giants confined to 7mate in Brisbane and Sydney.

Perth Red says a 5 vs 3 metro presence is the reason between for the funding disparity, yet he blames the Storm's poor ratings in Melbourne on being confined to 9Gem. He's a hypocrite.

And there we have it lol. What a waste of time if all it ends being is moved to brisbane or Sydney where there’s already enough clubs.

You can find the post where I said it. Sure I have argued for a Perth side but I have never said that they should have gone before a second Brisbane side nor have I said that a second Brisbane side was a bad idea.

I wouldn’t say that you know that nor would I know that because neither of us are part of negotiations.


Also you seem focused on Perth Red.
I wouldn’t say that it is the reason for the disparity but it would be a factor. Our poor negotiation skills and being historically controlled by News is probably the biggest factor but being able to directly sell to more people would help their position across both Pay TV and FTA.

So just for the record you think Perth should be next yeh

Either that or a second NZ side. Somewhere where we don’t already have a side and which could realistically fund itself.

By the way you were arguing that I thought Perth should come in ahead of a second Brisbane side. You’re moving the goalposts.

No I want to know what the future position is so you don’t change it after the fact lmao

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

And there we have it lol. What a waste of time if all it ends being is moved to brisbane or Sydney where there’s already enough clubs.

The fact the Broncos and Dolphins are the two largest rugby league clubs in the world proves there's room for growth in Brisbane. It's absurd to suggest a Perth-based team that'll be no bigger than Sydney's smallest club should be parachuted in ahead of the Brisbane Tigers.

There's very little benefit to adding a team from Perth.

• Neglible amount of juniors and NRL talent.
• Small fanbase
• Poor TV ratings
• Poor stadium
• Terrible time zone
• Conservative market that's 30 to 40 years behind Brisbane in terms of culture and development

You won't like hearing it, but the gap between Brisbane and Perth is growing wider each year. Brisbane is now a world renowned city attracting an ever increasing amount of interest from tourists and property developers. There's a reason the cost of living in Brisbane is significantly higher than Perth. Everyone wants to live here. Perth lacks the infrastructure and clout.

While Brisbane is hosting the 2032 Olympics, Perth is forced to run a joint bid with Gold Coast for the Commonwealth Games because it lacks the infrastructure and clout to hold them on their own. Gold Coast will get the premium events like swimming, showcasing how far behind Perth is on the social hierarchy.

The best thing our game can do is muscle in on Brisbane and Sydney because they're very lucrative markets. No one gives a f**k about Adelaide and Perth.

Liar. I've never once said a 2nd Brisbane side is a bad idea.

AwFuL has the upper class market and women covered. That's where the money is in advertising.

He's a scumbag. He lies constantly about other posters, and then puts them on ignore so he can ignore anywhere where they call him out for his lies.

 

[Maximus]

And what happens when it stops being guaranteed?

Who is going to pay the millions of dollars it's going to cost to charter flights for both the home and away team to every game?

Hey @Get Rid of The Donkeys, were these some of the tough questions your mate was talking about?

It’s funny when you ask the tough questions they never have any answers

they ignore or change the topic
