Most people would say 5 capital city significant presence and reach into territories equals a national reach comp.
they have
5 capital city
1.5 territory cities
2 regional cities

we have
3 capital city
1 territory
3.5 regional cities
1 international city

id have thought it would be pretty clear to everyone (it is to Politis) by now that’s it’s the big cities that generate the big revenue for a sport.
5 cities =$900mill
3 cities =$600mill
I think you've got your 'we' and 'they' mixed up.

So apparently there is a overflowing pipeline of juniors sitting untapped in North Sydney.

BUT, there are no juniors to support a team in another geography.

Its a nonsense argument. Any new team coming in, from anywhere, will be signing established NRL & SL first graders for the first few years. Its what happens from year 5+in regards to developing own, and that requires some serious work and investment both from the new club in its elite pathway programs and the NRL in increasing Jnr participation rates in that region.

Most current NRL clubs have less than 50% of players in their squad that came through their own pathway and most have less than 20% that are actually jnrs from their region, and thats in established RL heartlands!

It was galling to hear Vlandys talking up Melbourne2 with Vic Jnr participation increases as a reason given the ARLC has totally failed in its duty to invest in growing the game in places like Vic, SA and WA over the last decade.

I like most of what you have there.

I still find it laughable to have ( a truly national comp) there's no such thing really. The AFL are chuffed that they can call their comp "truly national " now they are putting in Tasmania ...
What next? Darwin.. o crap Canberra 👍 what makes 1 place more" national " than another
The places that the AFL don't consider the nation:
Darwin
Canberra
Cairns
Townsville
Mackay
Wollongong
Newcastle
Sunshine Coast
Launceston.....

Is it States? Because they're still missing 2 🤷‍♂️

It's all just dots on a map, there's no real point to it.
Literally: you get to say " it's a national comp"
The NRL can Literally say " it's an international comp" why don't they? Because it means nada!

When it's all said and done, this national strategy that the AFL has, has a major flaw .. expansion to places just to fill dots on a map like GC , GWS and Hobart gives an odder to them, a forced expansion that lacks authenticity.

The NRL asked for bids, it comes from the people that demand inclusion and want to prove their value.
not that commy bs.
You're not bright enough to realise that the ACT and NT aren't states, hey?

What 2 territories? They don't have a team in either ACT or NT.

As a percentage, taking out your lies about territories, its 71% v 67%. Hardly worth wanking over a sherrin about.
