If we had 100k active fans in Perth or Adelaide would you be dissapointed? I wouldnt!

Thats what a Perth team would get

We wouldn't be claiming our code was soon to take over either.

Unlikely, at least to start. It'll be around 15-16k attending and FTA, well depends if it stays buried by Ch9. Probably 50k-60k together in reality. Adelaide half that.

I'd take 100k active fans any day!

He was saying in context of participation rates, but even that is ridiculous. Mind you if our leaders were saying we want to take over in AFL states instead of calling them a waste of money I wouldn't be too unhappy, no matter if it was BS!

Interesting that a code that has so much income still needs to screw over a dedicated fumbling state like Tassie for a every last cent they can drain from it

The AFL has said repeatedly that it doesnt believe a team is viable for nearly 40 years. The only thing making this viable to the league was the Government offering to put up its own cash and offer a decent stadium operation. The league didnt want the team, Tasmania had to convince them to take it.

Thats the cold truth.

It would be like the WA Government demanding a team in the NRL against the NRLs wishes because the NRL didnt want the risk, and the WA Government putting up millions a year and a great stadium deal in order to get the team done - which is more than likely how this happens there too.

and is too inept to run an effective investigation into serious racist allegations against two of its highest profile coaches? Interesting indeed.

Im not a fan of internal investigations - Im not a fan of Leagues intervening in matters covered by civil or criminal law (I dont support the NRLs No fault suspension thing either). If this was serious it should have gone straight to the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commissioner or to court.

100% agree on both. I don’t blame the afl for the stadium at all. It’s our silly premier with his green sleeveless shirt and sherrin under his arm who is the problem. This will bring down his government as he is not listening to the people . Neither the stadium nor the investigation make any sense.

Is that some sort of fumbleball reference that I don`t get ?

Difference is when the tassie govt money runs out they've got a reasonable chance of being viable. When the PNG Govt money runs out .......

There is 10m people in PNG, national game in PNG is RL.

Tassie has 500k.

PNG could easily sort out half of the 25m required.

That leaves 13m for the NRL to shoulder.

NRL made 100m+ profit the last couple years.

No problem at all.

+ with 20 years of funding from Feds there is every chance PNG will breaks even in that time.

RL already has a ready made venue.

In 20 year that venue capacity of 15k will more than likely increase to 25k.

''When the PNG Govt money runs out'' not when they have natuaral resources, its why china wants closer relations.

I’m confident a png nrl team would generate significant corporate sponsorship plus have the png govt backing them as well

and their population could actually be 17 million now they aren’t really sure lmao

And you are the one who is upPVL for saying outlandish things .

now you are alright with that .

lol just lol .

Depends .
give those teams 30+ yrs & Gifted Premierships or Flags lol flags & then judge.
They got Cola or whatever it was called just like the Swans .
No level playing field .
legalized cheating by having a larger salary cap than the other teams to ensure success .

if this happened in RL there’d be a riot .
but in your beloved sport it’s fine.

when my team won a GF it was because they were the best . Not because they had a larger salary cap than other teams .

The whole QLD/fumbleball discussion is ridiculous.

The fumblers thinking that they will ever take over league should be ridiculed but any bid coming from Queensland using the threat of AFL as an argument for entry should also be equally ridiculed.

which would be great if the country wasn't in severe poverty. How exactly would they raise $15-20mill a year? And what makes you think the Govt is going to hand over, up front in case of change of govt, $400mill for a PNG team?

And seeing as we are in the TV thread, how do you feel the other clubs will react to adding another team that adds zero value to the Australian tv revenue?

I`m no fan of a P.N.G. team but I thought this has been discussed before and argued by you IIRC, it doesn`t matter where the extra team comes from, it`s the extra game that counts. And if they are successful even better.
Just like I think it was you who said, most Dolphins` fans will have been watching NRL before the Dolphins came in, now they just watch one extra game.

There’s value in a number of ways for tv
1. yes a ninth game has value in its own right as extra content regardless of club 18
2. Some locations will be more valuable to tv than others, large population, metro ratings, new viewer growth, time zone etc
3. more clubs and viewers in australia make advertising spots more attractive for Australian fta
4. More viewers in australia means more subscribers for ptv

reality is png or nz2 have very little value beyond point 1 to Australian tv.
