Brent read on nrl360 saying nrl ceos will be making a huge issue out of the cash they need to approve expansion

his figures were a bit mixed but he said clubs want the grant to be 5 to 7 million over the salary cap

he also said clubs want a one off grant of 4 million as well

like with the cba the games stakeholders are holding the games future to ransom

I would’ve thought an additional 2 millon pa each is fair. Then wait for the new tv deal to get more
If maximizing the expansion fee is the primary thing that clubs are fishing for, that could sway that final spot in this expansion phase towards Brisbane 3 & away from NZ 2.

After all, Brisbane 3 (whichever bid) are probably more likely to raise more "up front cash" than an NZ 2 bid. I wonder how much it would take to placate the existing SE-Qld NRL clubs?

Oh ...there's no such thing as an expansion fee...

Players will start getting the pips that the clubs getting too much money if that happens …. they will say that more of that money should be going to them

Yeah, the "poor underpaid players" ... according to their managers who themselves would be getting a pay increase instead of the money going to juniors or grassroots, ect.

Journos are clueless, the grant is already $5mill over the grant.
