After 40 years why can’t Canberra produce more juniors locally ?

Why can't the swans?

What has this got to do with expansion wingnut?

Firstly, we're told that the junior talent is in the Central Coast and not in the North Shore/Sydney. Of course where the juniors and the pathways are is moot because you can take juniors from anywhere and juniors can go anywhere.

Knowing our luck, Newtown - emboldened by getting close to a Perth hook-up - will try a bid to be the "Central Coast Jets", simultaneously pissing off the Roosters & Ipswich.....

Not really

Most times pommies agents approach nrl clubs

And usually only star players

as the article shows English minimum wage in super league is one third ours

sign up 20 to 40 kids a year I bet you would get a good result out of that

Not so good for the struggling ESL though

They can come back at 26 like most do as elite players

English test team will be better too

For many pages on expansion threads, there has been so much focus on North Sydney, with the colours, logo, games at NSO, pathways etc

A question you raised is "How much money does North Sydney have"? A more relevant question should be, Can a Perth standalone club be financially viable?

One of the reasons why the NRL gave the green light to the Dolphins is because they have assets and are in a heartland state.


WA isn't a heartland state, so straight away there is a challenge. No doubt a healthy club grant and improved HBF Park would help, but the club still needs more, because they are not in a rugby league state.

So does Perth, West Coast Pirates, or whatever the team is called have the money to prosper on their own in AFL territory?

That's why they need the $30 mill bank guarantee, to prove they have the backing..
They will have everything they need to prosper. It's just a matter of getting the right people to run it.
