Well, now the on-field action is over for the year I guess it's clear-space now for the NRL to get on with some decisions & announcements - right??

Instead of an 18th club should have the following new clubs

Western Brisbane
Brisbane Tigers
Central Coast
Perth
NZ2
Adelaide
Central Queensland
Sunshine Coast
PNG

Then de-merge Wests and Dragons and cut the bottom 5 teams from the NRL
Balmain
Western Suburbs
St George
Illawarra
Titans
Parra
Souths

Then throw them into the NRL2 (14-16 teams) with promotion and relegation to NRL

NRL would be 12 teams with 22 rounds. Weeks off for SOO and internationals. Would also give around 6 for NRL2 games to be shown in prime time

We haven’t had a Noob in here for a while…they tend to keep their distance ..

How did you find this place Bro ?

I hope you aren’t expecting a lot of sensible expansion discussion from anybody …as you have probably ascertained already after two days ..

If I was after sensible I wouldn't even bother watching rugby league let alone come to a forum for it!

Must say, expansion forum is filled with experts on all matters. End of the day whatever pays the bills, is good for the game. If that's NZ Once Were Only Warriors, North Perthy Bears, The Screaming Jets, PNG Aussie/American Mariners Only or whoever else.

I don't know enough from a feet on ground level about the locations to really chime in. But it's interesting reading the punters takes on it.

So, what's the latest on any announcement?

Is it reasonable to expect some news by the end of this month.. or even by end of this year??
