The longer it gets delayed then Ipswich becomes more likely (2032 Olympics halo)

But once the arl see the new stadium it will be Christchurch

Can’t see Ipswich being too far behind them either

It will be delayed if Perth and png are absolute basketcases

Player depth is the key and for that png Brisbane and nz will be the key to those extra player numbers

There's not really much point in a BRL / QRL club helping Adelaide. The whole point of the Bears was to get the brand back in the NRL.

The goal of QRL clubs is to get back to first grade status by getting promoted to the NRL. For the wealthier QRL clubs, Easts, Wynnum, Burleigh it's not really worth packing up their empires and moving them to Adelaide, nor is it a win if their mascot or jersey is all that makes it to the NRL in a completely different city, not owned at all by them (as the Perth Bears are setup). In the case of Burleigh Bears and Easts Tigers, their mascots are already in the NRL.

NRL are best to go into Adelaide when the time comes, revive the Rams brand or just setup a whole new brand.

Burleigh are stuffed if they have NRL ambition. Their mascot is already in the NRL and over 100 years of history and their location is small part of a territory that is covered by another NRL club.

Can you explain why you think the Olympics would be of any consequence to a new team being admitted to the NRL?

Yep, common marking of the year is the Olympics. But you're right the more relevant event that year as far as RL is concerned is the end of the next broadcast cycle presuming we do a 5 year deal.
