18th club, whose next?

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

Yeah shìt article, terrible reasons, where was this article when NSW couldn't win a series during 8 SoO in a row of QLDs dominance, it's complete BS, completely talking up the east tigers, why not talk up Ipswich or souths magpies or Wynnum etc

Probably because the Magpies, Seagulls and Jets don't have the resources and aren't bidding for a licence?

Geez the PNG bid chairman reckons they are going to have a million members. Even the afl wouldn't bullshit numbers at that level.

Got an entire country to support them!

I can tell you now there is no such thing as a fallback option..... gold coast titans is living proof of that, along with manly and cronulla still being present, no one is going anywhere.

there's the dumbarse codes like ARU who folded the rebels recently and force pre covid etc and ALeague who created clubs in Townsville, Gold Coast wherever just to watch them implode after a few seasons, unlike those codes NRL will prop up and keep their clubs relevant for the long run, they've done it for multiple clubs over the past 20 years, they'll never turn their back on any of thier brands, not now, not ever

Will the NRL provide an additional $20m per annum for a PNG club when Dutton rips up NSW Labor's dumbarse deal?

LNP aren't going to bankroll a dumbarse NSW Labor policy that is a vote a killer in Queensland.

So do NZ. When did they announce their millionth member?

Knights aren’t basket cases anymore Newcastle wests are minted

manly are owned by a billionaire

Brisbane has two nrl clubs

you would be dividing up the fan base by 3

lol

Two largest rugby league clubs in the world are from Brisbane. The smallest rugby league clubs in Australia are from Sydney, with Manly being the smallest by some distance. Every club makes more money from football operations than the Sea Eagles.

Newcastle have struggled to remain solvent since 1988.

National sport of NZ is?!

Dolphins were suppose to cannibalize the broncos. Instead dolphins matched bronco's numbers & broncs increased their own numbers. Ipswich to Logan untapped..

You won't get a coherent response out of him. He ignores any fact that doesn't support his fantasies.

Newcastle do good crowds & membership. Need somebody with a brain to run that club..

Team based at Springfield is a natural. Can't be east tigers tho. Needs to be entity of South Brisbane..

One is a 3rd world country with most of the population living in poverty.

 

[Iamback]

If the aim for Perth realistically is to get 10% of the population onboard 200k

Then the same should be the aim for PNG which would make the 1m people not that far fetched

Are you serious, or just defending it because you think it should be against the rules to criticise stupid claims?

The only way they ever get to 1m members is if they give memberships away with birth certificates.

 

[Maximus]

Which one?!

NZ. And PNG is one of the poorest nations on the planet.

The PNG bid is seen by many of the peanut brigade on here as a $$$$ making exercise.

The whole purpose of the funding by the Australian government is to assist in lifting people out of poverty. The NRL potentially gets a few NRL class players as the by-product.

You don't think the clubs/ARLC have asked the question as to what happens when the Govt money runs out?

..but they getting next NRL team!

I don't know. You'd hope so. But I think people are being dazzled by this 600mill figure and think in 10 years time png will be self sufficient.
There's no evidence of that over the last 49 years of independence.

After tigers & dolphins which is strongest brl club (or any Brisbane club) in terms of money?!

And they will also be the next team kicked out.
