18th club, whose next?

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

45 million pa before corporates and gate takings are added

you watch their corporate revenue will be massive too

Do you believe the shit you're saying?

 

[MugaB]

I don't trust the PNG bid.

Hahaha... who cares what you think, super butthurt Loganboy crying over the BRL comp, and can't deal with the nswrl comp being the premier RL comp, massive wankfest your having over the idea of another qld team

 

[Maximus]

Sure

whilst you are digging find when I first told you a png team would be admitted and you were mocking me and saying it was no chance

At what point do we think that wb will realise that everyone can read the first few pages of this thread and see that he wasn't some messiah who made a claim that nobody else thought was possible?

PNG's back.

Papua New Guinea launches bid to become NRL’s 18th team I'll be surprised if there isn't significant political pressure to make a PNG side happen. It shouldn't happen under any circumstances, but they might actually be in with chance considering the political environment in the region.

the player pool would effectively multiply by a factor ten

He was posting the same dumb shit back then though.

 

[MugaB]

LMAO!

So why are you pushing for the North Sydney Bears to relocate to Perth you dumbarse?

Using your logic it's not expansion.

Bears currently aren't a 1st grade team, makes no difference if they set up shop elsewhere

I'm aware of the ARLC's refusal to rationalise Sydney. I was calling out your hypocrisy.

Why would they, making money with the clubs they have now, how's the souths -Logan magpies/Scorpions? oh that's right, they were just rationalised... not merged

I was calling out your hypocrisy. It's flown straight over your head. Just as I knew it would.

Yes hypocritical of you to want more qld content ahead of Perth, png, nz2 etc

It worked for two in AwFuL. South Melbourne and Fitzroy were the weakest clubs in the VFL.

Who cares about AFL, and what they did, nrl isn't the same

How do you expect the North Sydney Bears to work when they were punted for being weaker than the three weakest clubs that exist today?

BS criteria, basically your version of rationalisation happened, shant be ever happening again

You don't want Brisbane as the 20fh team. You want PNG, Melbourne and NZ.

Ok, sounds great

Do you think they will have gate takings in PNG ? (honest question, not taking the piss) really curious on what the ground entry cost will be.
Surely it will not be the same as at Australian grounds because if it was unfortunately the majority of PNG locals would not be able to afford to watch their local NRL side play.

I think GA will be almost given away.

Corporates will get stung though, I reckon they atleast will match GC, Newcastle and the other regional teams as far as incomes goes

Good enough for now but all of these expansion areas you are looking 15-20 years ahead

Yes I do

for example last years pacific cup in png had ticket prices comparable to an nrl game

ie up to 50 bucks Aussie

ground is poor though it has poor corporate facilities and needs a lot spent on it to get there

 

[Centy Coast]

The last week has been all about PNG, next week will almost certainly be all about Perth with the Roosters v Dolphins game at HBF Park coming up next Friday night.

It must piss you off that the Broncos and Dolphins are bigger and richer than the Sydney clubs?

Your low brow club is still behind the Cowboys despite making four GFs in a row. God help the Panthers when they go back to being an average club.

Yes but don’t forget two of those games the ground was virtually empty.
The only games that were full were both PNG v Fiji games.

they held two games and the final

Two were just about sold out

Have you seen the Hunters’ crowds though ?.
It would be pretty cruel for PNG to have a NRL team and the majority of their fans can’t afford to watch them play.

They were, I watched all of the games, look back earlier on this thread, I even commented on here at the time, the two games were Fiji v Cook Islands and PNG v Cook Islands.
Certainly not sold out, no where near it, the Final had a decent crowd though.

PNG game was said to be sold out

a png fan claimed scalpers bought a lot of the tickets and asked too much

The link also shows 80 buck tickets for corporate

20 bucks Aussie is pretty good for qld cup ?

Their tickets range from 6 to 80 bucks

remember ground capacity currently is only 15k

this will be too small for nrl games

Bears currently aren't a 1st grade team, makes no difference if they set up shop elsewhere

Doesn't matter whether they're currently an NRL club or a former club. For the proposal to work they will need to relocate to Perth. You're clutching at straws because you're too arrogant to admit to being wrong when you've snookered yourself.

Let's be honest. The only reason you want this team is because you're a narrow-minded hypocrite with an entitlement complex.

Why would they, making money with the clubs they have now

Without the annual grant they're unviable.

What makes you think the annual grant will always be so high?

Foxtel and commercial TV are dying. Seventy percent of the games income is provided by the broadcasters. Sooner or later the gravy train is going to come to a halt.

how's the souths -Logan magpies/Scorpions? oh that's right, they were just rationalised... not merged

You were dumb enough to think they merged until I set you straight.

Yes hypocritical of you to want more qld content ahead of Perth, png, nz2 etc

Queensland content pays the bills. Perth and PNG doesn't. We don't know how much NZ2 will provide.

Ch9nare on record saying they want another team in Brisbane. They never said anything about wanting content for Perth, PNG and NZ.

Who cares about AFL, and what they did, nrl isn't the same

For years we've had nutjobs like you arguing that Bears can work in another market because Swans and Lions were able to carve out a niche in Sydney and Brisbane. The bit you conveniently leave out is they abandoned their original market and went all in on their new location.

BS criteria, basically your version of rationalisation happened, shant be ever happening again

Never say never. If the game's finances go down the shitter then the weakest clubs will be on their own.

I don't give a fucƙ about all that, im happy for any of our wonderful nrl clubs to be making money, seems like money runs your life... Cowboys being the only 1st grade team in Northern qld would obviously do that, maybe in an alternate universe, you can boast about them doing really well when they share the same revenue with another 9 teams in the state..

Hahahaha enjoy mediocrity

Potato

You were dumb enough to think they merged until I set you straight.

I knew, it's why I baited you into talking about your deadshit Scorpions, from bumf**k logan. I remember having plenty of BRL discussions in the past with you, only to see anything said positively, thrown back in all our faces negative these days, when you get shown up as a hypocritical fraud

Comparing to AFL again

Hahahaha, your wish for a return of the superleague, adding teams in Singapore and China... you're a stooge.. class clown... potato counting spud, a total fascist and racist, I reckon your a mirror image of Pauline Hanson, or at least have a poster on the wall of her that you must cream over
