18th club, whose next?

[Gobsmacked]

NSWRL - great granddad
ARL - granddad
NRL - dad

Like suggesting one’s granddad isn’t family because they have a different last name. Even though by blood without them, there’s no you.

Who's mum ?

Who's mum ?

Way to miss the point. Common with you?

Not the QRL though.

Lightn up mate, it was a joke. But your model has the massive flaw of not including the significance of the QRL and it contribution of players to the NSWRL and now we have the Dolphins... so who's thier dad ??
Actually pretty dumb.

My model is equally a joke, it was a shit analogy.

Dolphins joined a comp. Their comp didn’t merge with another comp where therefore all histories would have merged together. That’s the main difference.

The significance of the QRL isn’t lost on me. It just isn’t and never was part of the NSWRL. Again the debate is about clubs and achievements, not about individual players transferring from one comp to another.

However people choose to see achievements in one comp in relation to the other is for them to decide and if they think Phins achievements should be counted then that’s ok. I respect that.

But as far as how the official history of the NRL goes it stems from ARL which stems from NSWRL and that’s just how it is.

The next iteration should be the PRL
Pacific Rugby League

 

[Perth Red]

The next iteration should be the PRL
Pacific Rugby League

Surely ORL,
Oceania Rugby League is more appropriate?

Whether you’re joking or not. It’s not far from the truth to where we are heading.

So what date does everyone think expansion announcement will be made?

I predict it could be around Thur or Fri next week prior to the PMXIII game on the Sunday. Gives GF win some clear media then keeps the game in the media prior to the test match series. Announcing juts prior to PNG game gives that event a lot more excitement.
