18th club, whose next?

As usual there are nuances here.
Mr Black and White paints a picture of the Reds being in the land of milk and honey with the potential of being bankrolled by billionaires and having the support of everyone who has ever lived in or visited Perth.

Mr/Ms Woke paints the picture of Perth being a deadbeat town with no one supporting NRL now or ever.

Perth will have hurdles if they get in that will be unique to them re their isolation, being a non NRL town and the fact that Perth isn't a utopia where everybody is rolling in prosperity. The base is there though.

Old dad joke here dropping phrase woke. Automatic block from me.

Storm exist because Melbourne has population of almost 6 million & if team makes finals that's a win for NRL. Perth is much smaller

ah so now its population size not audiences on GEM?
Duck, swerve weave....

Great post

Where's the base again?! 3k watching on Friday nights?!

Melbourne is too big to ignore. Perth too small to bother with..

Wookie had numbers. Most from NSW & qld which makes perfect sense

For Perth to succeed, they probably need to have a look at Melbourne Storm with regards to ownership and the day to day running of a club.

Once the Storm got rid of News Ltd as owners, they have become a better football club.

wait, is it GEM audiences we should be basing a decision on or populations over 2.2million? Hard to keep up with your ever shifting goalposts.

It will be a privately owned consortium same as Storm, Souths, Warriors, Titans in all likelihood.

Highly unlikely, at least in its entirety of ownership.

Perth will add an extra 50k to ratings if reds make finals. Not worth the financial outlay

Successful titans model I see

We get 100k plus for origin and gf. Just need to convert those casuals to regulars. Or do you think our game is sht and can’t do that?

So if we can do that with origin why do we need team?! Give Perth a double header & then an origin every 4 years - done

eh? Origin isnt played 3 times a week! IF you want regular tv audience increases in Perth then you need a team to get people interested in following the NRL comp. Comprehend?

You seem to be very stuck on only having clubs in two states. Why are you so afraid to see the game grow?

Regular season games don't draw in Melbourne, so won't will in Perth. Nrl gets everything it needs from Perth already

You didnt answer the question.
