Using a 4 conference division system of 6 teams.

conference A

Brisbane broncos

Brisbane tigers(relocation of the balmain tigers)

North Queensland cowboys

Gold Coast titans

Dolphins

samurais(based out of Japan)

Conference B

central coast sea eagles(relocation of manly)

newcastle knights

north Sydney bears

sydney Roosters

south Sydney Rabbitohs

St. George dragons

Conference C

parramatta eels

penrith panthers

western magpies

canterbury bulldogs

Illawarra Steelers

Canberra raiders


Conference D

Auckland warriors

Christchurch/South Island bulls

melbourne storm

adelaide rams

perth sharks(relocation of cronulla)

cape town pride/South Africa pride

Top 2 teams from each conference qualify for finals rugby in a straight knockout style competition of 8.

quarter finals then semi finals then the final.

Ok, I’ll bite. You have one three conferences that stay in their own state but one conference that stretches from Auckland to Cape Town. There’s already a Sydney bias now

Can’t please everybody unfortunately.

cross divisonal games would see Sydney teams also travel.

 

[Perth Red]

No Singapore? I'm disappointed in you.

Could swap Singapore for Perth.

Super rugby teams switching codes?

Super rugby teams switching codes?

Just a bit day dreaming from me but if I often wonder if we had one code then and had the above teams in the NRL then how much more would the game bring in.

 

[westerntiger]

Can't wait for the Sydney Waratahs v Sydney Roosters

Warren Smith: Who do you think will win this Blocker?

Blocker: I think Sydney will win

Those kiwi teams would be awesome in the NRL.

I’ll have a go on the off chance I find it and laugh at myself in 20 years if LU still exists.

If we ever get to 24 my prediction is the current 17 with maybe some slight changes like a club adopting Central Coast. These 7 roughly in this order.

18 - WA Reds
19 - South Island Bears (Christchurch)
20 - PNG Hunters
21 - West Brisbane Hornets (The jet type)
22 - Adelaide Rams
23 - Wellington Orcas
24 - Fiji Silktails

Other possibles - Auckland 2, Central Coast, Central QLD, Melbourne 2 or some wildcard Toronto Wolfpack shit somewhere like Asia or Hawaii. I feel like PNG and maybe Fiji might be made to happen eventually regardless of how viable I think they would be.

Would be hilarious if there’s still arguments surrounding the benefits of a Perth based NRL team and the bears shopping themselves to Hawaii.

South Pacific Rugby League (SPRL)

The NRL is no longer an appropriate name for our comp. We consist of teams from two countries, not one. The name is too Australia centric. My proposal is to rename the comp and to rebuild it into a truly South Pacific Competition. I’m proposing three new teams: PNG NZ2 Perth or Brisbane 3 With...

This thread is an extension of my brilliant idea

 

[Wb1234]

Png, Perth, nz2, south west Brisbane, Adelaide

other two teams is where it gets tricky

central coast and nz3 or maybe South Africa or Japan

two conferences of 12 teams

home and away season

top 5 finals in each conferences

one grand final in Sydney the other in Brisbane

Super Bowl for the winner

Super rugby teams switching codes?

Better for them than disappearing altogether.
