18th club, whose next?

Id prefer you play everyone once and 5 teams of your choosing twice. That gives a 24 game season. Alternate home and away for the 19 games against everyone each season.

My tigers choose to play saints twice

Yeah can we have the Tigers, Saints, Dogs, GC and dolphins twice? Thanks

My coach used to put us in a sauna for five hours before a game, without water. Harden up I say!

Look I get it you’re a Tigers fan, you want the rest dragged down to your level

Play or piss off.

There's no sport without the players.

No problem, see what happens when 2 great minds put their heads together.

In regards to timeslots what does Perth provide? I guess a 7:30 Sunday night EST game is good for TV, but I don’t really see it giving much else that we don’t have already apart from late night games.

It offers no unique time slots that can’t be easily filled by other clubs unlike nz

I'm still in it, cant open the bloody door..help!

6pm Sunday, no one else will want it, perth will embrace it.

Monday night would be very valuable

the 9th game wont be Monday night. Its too much of a head ache and everyone hates it. 10th game possibly as theres no obvious other slots left.

Yes.

Sunday 630 pm is doable for Sydney clubs though or anyone else really

Conferences are next

nswrl conference
Super league conference

lmao

Monday is rubbish all round and only really works for east coast home games. Kickoff has to be around 7-730 EST for TV, and the same local time- neither a 5:30 (Perth) or 9:30 (NZ) local kickoff would draw any crowd.

But they’d rather not as it starts to eat into a school night and that impacts crowd numbers. Perth is ideal because it means it’s an afternoon game there which is great for crowds but fills a prime TV slot on the east coast, and even still ok for NZ viewers.

The CT Group who handled the Dolphins NRL bid were advising the Bears bid but I’m pretty sure they broke away to become Freshwater Strategy in which Leo Shanahan is one of the Directors, hmmm maybe he has a foot in both camps.

Were? Or are they still advising them?
