18th club, whose next?

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

The dolphins aren't batman


James Gordon : Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it.


So dolphins play 9 games at Suncorp, 3 at Kayo, and apparently thats not enough, if a Perfh team got the nod, and played 9 games at Optus and 3 hbf park, would that sound fair? Similar, reality is it would be swapped around

The irony is the Dolphins are taking a game to Perth Rectangular Stadium, yet he still whinges.

I am from Perth and I think that a strong NRL team would do great attendance and interest here. We get around and support teams from other codes other then AFL when they are doing well. We had the Glory sell out Optus Stadium when they were firing and the Scorchers & Wildcats are the most successful teams in their respective competitions. It seems to me that NRL fans are looking for a million reasons why not to expand outside the bubble when the reality is it there is enough interest to carve out a space in the sporting landscape for sure. We would get behind an NRL team and they would do healthy numbers in my opinion. Interested to hear thoughts, I don't know the landscape well so I may be completely off base.

I'd prefer it if the PNG team was based permanently in Port Moresby so it can properly represent Papuans. There's no reason the players couldn't live safely and affluently in a gated community.

South Africa has the second highest murder rate in the world. It hasn't stopped the country from fielding successful professional sport teams. The players live in gated communities.

Comparing Port Moresby to South Africa, just shows what ignorant dumb arse you are.

To just say "gated community" like it's some sort of grand solution, shows you have the critical thinking of a 11 year old

Its all good to support the team when they are going well, it seems to be plonking a franchise anywhere around Australia or the Pacific will do well if the locals support it, how was the AFL teams this year in WA, were they well supported even though they were running down the opposite end of the ladder..
Its very easy to say that the perth community will support a winning NRL side, but as the franchise will have to pay overs to get standard 1st graders ported over there, it wont leave much money for the team to build a strong and winning team, that will need to build on local juniors and pay them cheap, so they can spend a good chunk on marquees.
I'm of the belief that a new club in perth will need a feeder club like the touted NS bears or Jets, to start out before getting the local reserve graders upto 1st grade standard, which could take 5-10 years of possible wooden spoons, will you still be support them in that period?
I'm all for a team in perth by the way, i just cant see it happening unless there is a overflow of 1st grade players around the comp that are not getting a run

You sound like a reasonable person.
My advice to you is to stop posting here before it's too late.
Too late for what you may ask.
Too late before you get caught up in the sickness and you become bitter, twisted, argumentative, an alcoholic or ice addict.
All roads in here lead to personal destruction.
Get out now while you still can!

Unfortunately the poster boy for a Perth nrl team on here has spent 20 years talking down the nrl and it’s turned off a lot of neutral support against them

he spent ten years saying Sydney had too much clubs and one should move to Perth

now he spends most of his posts bagging the games leadership

That says more about you and your circlejerk buddies than it does about him.

"I don't want a Perth NRL team just to spite Perth Red"... some real mature and rational minds around here lol

I don’t think he does

the other pro Perth accounts can barely string together a coherent argument

AFL Red won't be watching a rugby league team in Perth anyway. He is not a league fan.

Always good to see another West Aussie interested in NRL! You're not wrong, perth supports its clubs, especially when doing well. The biggest impediment to a perth club is myopic Rugby league folk, sadly some of who are in charge, that struggle to comprehend that you can sell quality products to new cstomers. Theres a lot of them on here, they just want to see the game remain confined to its heartlands, and come up with all sorts of weird and wonderful arguments to back up that belief.

Perth will one day have an NRL club, its inevitable for the countries 4th biggest city in a country that doesnt have many big cities. How soon is anyones guess.

Rugby League remains the only professional sport in the country that doesnt have a club in Perth, tells you a lot about Rugby League and why it has remained in small geographical outposts of the world.

You can talk to him about the Swans lol

 

[Colk]

I’m not going to pretend that Sydney or Melbourne are the outright best cities in the world, but the highlighted sentence is complete rubbish.
There is a reason that they both consistently rate in amongst the top 10 most liveable cities in the world, beating the majority of Europe’s major cities.
But perhaps I’ve misunderstood and you meant strictly in a tourism sense, in which case I’d agree with you.

I’m talking about visiting places.

 

[Colk]

The only colkie has seen those European cities is when he’s playing sim city

they are dumps

Soviet era architecture is so depressing and people standard of living is awful across most of Europe

You claim I haven’t been there then you come up with this tripe.

Most of Europe? I’m guessing you think Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Sweden, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway etc aren’t developed countries. They may not have as high a GDP per capita as Australia (although some of those do) but they are not exactly third world.

Also Soviet era architecture throughout Europe? Really? I think you need to learn some history.

 

[Colk]

Dane Perth red mongoose colk maximus bukkaski etc all said it should be Perth

Perth red said brisbane already had a team so it wasn’t needed

now a year later everyone says brisbane 2 was obvious

Are you still persisting with this fabrication?

Seriously mate if you can’t actually find a post where I actually said that Perth should come in before a second Brisbane side then perhaps it doesn’t exist
