I don't remember any mention of them not bidding either so I'm assuming they had the opportunity if they wanted to.

Hanscholo said:And people wonder why i despise the AFL. Back in the days before they were predatory and highly competative with the NRL i liked the AFL. I just refuse to watch it now, how dare they try and destroy RL.
Typical Melbourne Jan Brady syndrome, they must force their game down our throats, THEY MUST BE THE BEST, get f**ked, ill watch the league. lol, its rather amusing tbh.

melbstormer, huge diff between league and AFL is the arrogance and lies spouted from its head offices "we are a national code etc", also being a leaguie, the NRL/ARL's adminstration is frustrating, so we take out that anger against reasonably good admin. Also, AFL wouldn't be anywhere near league in this country if not for the SL war, so there is some sour grapes about that

A Melbourne team wasn't even on the agenda for the ARL in 1996, what are you talking about?melbstormer said:Well if you want to be petty and get into semantics they have been taking money from the Victorian Government since 1996; but i think the point of what is was saying is more important.

The Rugby League World Cup for next year was launched yesterday.
The tournament is going to be massive here next year, and League is getting set to crush all other codes from this point on.
Let the AFL piss their money up against the wall, the Gold Coast will be League territory for many a year to come.
League will start to flex it's muscle as the whole of Australia sees we are an International code next year, this will also kill off the wallabies.
The only reason the Wallabies were still going well is because people didn't realise that the International League scene was still alive.
AFL will be based purely in the southern states of Australia, and confined to that forever.
League is growing Internationally which will only mean it will grow domestically also.
