Nor was the qrl
Or out of his pocket
I think the then-QRL boss wanted the Sharks to relocate to Brisbane. Turns out the QRL was worried about a traditional BRL brand playing in the NRL. They should have been proud to see one of their own in the big time.
which clubs? only one I remember that was against them was the Titans. Even the Broncos were ok with the Dolphins.
Will depend on next tv deal. If it’s big enough I can see the 20 team plan being put in place for 20 clubs by the new tv deal in 2033. 2027 team 18. 2029/30 team 19, 2031/32 team 20. I dont believe all this turbo charge bs. It’s not the nrls way.
Donkey, after coaches said they want perth ‘club bosses will decide not coaches’
Yeh it only cost Vlandys $5mill a club to buy their agreement lolTwelve of the 16 NRL clubs were sufficiently concerned about the potential impacts of a new franchise that they stumped up about $7000 each to commission a report into the matter. While there would be some benefits to the game as a whole – in the form of additional games and revenue – the research by consultancy company GEMBA found it wasn’t sufficient to offset the damage to existing clubs, particularly those in Queensland.A 17th club would bring in between $13 million and $25 million in additional broadcast funding, while non-broadcast revenue would increase by $2.5 million to $8.7 million. However, several clubs the Herald has spoken to believe that the status quo should remain unless there is a guarantee that an extra $30 million to $40 million is there to be distributed.For a new club to be sustainable, it would cost $23.6 million to run and would need to make $10 million a year. It would also require what GEMBA describes as 148,000 “fanatical” supporters, as well as 10,000 members, to be viable. In order to do so, the new franchise would likely need to take fans from existing clubs, while there will be further competition for sponsors, players and other human talent.The findings are of particular concern to the Broncos, Titans and Cowboys, who are already struggling on the field. The research states that existing clubs could lose up to three players from their roster if a 17th team is given the green light, further diluting talent and adversely affecting the quality of matches.So concerned are some club bosses, that there have been discussions about engaging legal assistance to review the ARL Commission constitution with a view to finding a lever to block expansion. The Herald has been told the existing clubs don’t have veto power over the issue, but they could seek to introduce it via a special general meeting, at which amendments to the constitution can be introduced. However, such a development would require the 16 clubs and two state bodies to be in alignment, which is an unlikely outcome.The upsides to expansion include an increase in viewing numbers of between 3 per cent and 10 per cent, a projected 5 per cent increase in match-day attendances and a boost of between 4 per cent and 7 per cent in television audiences.However, the report concludes that the extra costs and risks don’t make it an appealing enough proposition.
Their concerns turned out to be bullshit.
Can you now see why the clubs are in favour of Perth?
They think it will have the least impact on them. Clubs are selfish.
He thinks a ch9 employee is gonna decide.
You do realise that V'landys wants PNG to get the 18th licence, right?
You know why the clubs don't want a team in Port Moresby.
He wants govt money, I doubt very much he thinks png is a great idea either. Looks likely png will be club 18 Unless there is a change of govt spend.
Yesterday you said V'landys won't care about Ch9's concerns. Today you posted a quote from him saying their opinion matters because the broadcasters provide four-fifths of the game's revenue.
What if a Perth team ends up like the Force?
That comment was in regards to comp structure, not location of new clubs. I doubt Australian tv is falling over itself at the prospect of PNg and nz2 clubs joining the comp. Warriors are one of the lowest rated clubs on Australian tv.
What Owned by a billionaire Whose pouring millions into grassroots and development locally? Yeh that’d be a poor outcome lol
The dolphins need to start winning otherwise they will.
