18th club, whose next?

[Gobsmacked]

Roosters are a club that others should aspire to be.
A club that has no juniors and pilfers from other areas lol.

Like it or not, they're attracting the most wealthy people to our game and are active in the wealthiest part of the Pacific.
I kinda think that's a good thing..

A club that every player in Sydney would go to if given an offer. A club that has some of the highest crowds in the competition. A club that has some of the most successful businesspeople in the country on their side. A club that realised that their small junior base was a weakness and looked for ways to get around it. A club with a secure future both on and off the field.

What happened with the Wests Panthers playing in the QLD Cup ?.
Not strong enough ?, finances ?, a combination of both ?.

Their last season in the Queensland Cup was 2003. Financial difficulties caught up with them, Cairns Cyclones and Logan Scorpions in the early 2000s. There's a Western Brisbane Panthers playing in the BRL alongside Fortitude Valley Diehards.

Or hull kr

Perth red will use the exact opposite arguments he uses on the expansion forum

I'd laugh if Hull KR merged with the London Broncos. London Rovers.

Poms forced gastehead to merge with hull fc

hull kr were broke for so long whilst in super league then the council sold them their ground back cheap plus land around it

Looks like Hull is struggling to support two teams.

Hull fc have a terrible rent deal

Like any crowds over 8500 stadium keeps all the ticket revenue

What the hell has an English rugby league club to do with this discussion?

The club will struggle under that deal.

It’s killing the club

whilst kr own the ground and are actually financially stable

hull fc average around 12k or so hull kr around 8500

Looks like much of the Super League is struggling.

Hull FC and Hull KR accounts scrutinised as top-flight clubs post major losses

The figures are in for both Hull clubs.

To further prove that Brisbane Tigers are the only viable option for team 18. Keep up mate.

Silly me

 

[Tigerlaird]

Let Brisbane Tigers retain their name I reckon.

Don't understand why we need to be strict on mascots, just create a third kit for clashes.

The NRL would die in a generation if every club attempted to operate like the Roosters.

Their success is totally reliant on the good fortune of being in an area with lots of wealthy supporters whom are willing to chip in to attract the best players available to see the club succeed. They're not the only only club that abuses the third party system, but it's basically made the salary cap a joke, not all clubs have access to such wealthy and corporate backers, and pretty much all genuine junior development would cease if the other clubs tried to follow suit.

Penrith's success is built off the back of the good fortune to have one of the world's biggest RL nurseries. Good luck to Panthers and Roosters, both have leveraged their strengths well. You play the hand you are dealt

 

[Perth Red]

20 of the Roosters 34 first team squad have made their nrl debut for the Roosters. Another myth Like them not having any fans.

And the fact they are in a cheap housing region where many PI families have moved to. Panthers have finally tapped into the massive advantage they have. Only taken them 50 years.
