Almost a dozen expansion consortiums

[BuffaloRules]

At $20m each … and $60m for PNG ( thank you Aussie taxpayers) …a lot of bread heading the NRL’s way eventually…

Will Albo be paying for the Fiji team as well? China might have an eye on moving in on there in addition to PNG

PNG
Fiji
Central Qld
Ipswich / Newtown jets
Easts tigers
Norths / Perth
3 kiwi bids?! Never really been confirmed 100%

Should include any team which can pay i think.

3 Christchurch bids
1 Wellington / Christchurch
1 Auckland

Wouldn’t want the PNG thing to drag … but I suspect Dutts is on board as well

Because you can trust a politician when the polls go against them and there are votes to be won or lost.

Has Dutton said anything to date against it?

Its been doing the rounds for a while now

A NZ school teacher posting a couple of AI images on LinkedIn, isn't probably enough to constitute a "bid"

3 Christchurch bids
1 Wellington / Christchurch
1 Auckland

I don't think anybody has actually confirmed these, mostly because of media ban, but the ones I mentioned have had information get out.

There was an article before the bids went in

Yeah, kea & then another in Wellington somehow connected to the official body there. Also, a third Wellington bid with a rumoured cashed up investors. Orcas & Auckland have been hinted at. Nobody has come forward since media ban like Perth & png people or singo etc

Do you think multiple bids in the one area is a good idea? Wouldn’t it be better if all interested parties in say, Wellington, worked together.

Who was the 2nd Brisbane bid this time around?!

"According to The Daily Telegraph, the NRL has rejected eight different expansion bids, including one from the Newtown Jets, two from Brisbane, one from Central Queensland, one from Fiji, and three from New Zealand's South Island."

NRL reportedly reject EIGHT expansion bids

“We are working on the right plan and model for every region.”

Jets clubs partnered together I thought. Unless, they came together after submitting own bid each.

South Island bids actually included orcas. Others were Kea with Moffett & there was also unnamed bid from Tony kidd group.
