18th club, whose next?

[Matiunz]

Maybe one of the bids was splitting between Wellington and Christchurch

Unlikely imo

Geography means it’ll be one or the other, CHCH seems well ahead at the moment but if they gave Wellington a couple of token games a year I wouldn’t complain and would be more likely to support them over a solely CHCH team

Cant be long before we see the Mounties make a play for a slice of Western Sydney

I think there were four or five nz bids

3 chch
One was wellingon / chch

I think the last was Auckland 2 but that’s just a guess

4 were rumoured in nz , 3 south Island and 1 Wellington. Actually there might have been 1 in Auckland too, so might be 5. How many were submitted though I don't know.
So far only 1 Perth bid that's been ruled out...

Spudd wants Wellington for team 18.

Do they even have a bid?

Where NRL should have its next team ... and it ain’t Perth

MARK ‘SPUDD’ CARROLL: Making the game truly national is a noble thought but the Western Bears will never work.

In case anyone thought calling him Spud was an insult.
