Axe the Sharks to make way for the Reds

[jasonstevenswedgie]

Well, worry about that in 30 years ffs!

Thats the problem we stick a bandaid on things, we should be planning for the future yesterday not in 30 years

 

[Loudstrat]

OK Worry about that in 25 years :roll:

Bottom line is that Melbourne are underpinned to the tune of $6,000,000 per season.

The bottom line is that part of that $6m was also used for junior development in Victoria. The bottom line is that $6m will reduce when they move into the new stadium this season.

This is in a marketplace where sport is deemed to be the number 1 pasttime.

I wouldn’t say sport as such is the number one past time. I would say AFL is the number one past time

At the same time, the Sharks and Newcastle (to name the 2 most obvious) are struggling to make ends meet.

True

Why would you go outside traditional areas, like Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth to expand our competition?

The majority of revenue the NRL receives is from TV. It could be argued that the NRL receives that greatest ratio from NZ

If it was my money, and this is a big point, as it is a massive investment, I would be looking at either the Central Coast and a 2nd Brisbane team before looking at entertaining a team outside of the existing states.

A second team in Brisbane would create more TV opportunities if the NRL continues with the current Friday night schedule.

even Melbourne are a 50/50 proposition at this point and I would punt them prior to Cronulla and Newcastle.

Why would you punt them before they move into their new stadium?

TV rights and News Ltd ownership are the only things keeping Melbourne in the comp.

True and TV rights and the generous grant back the struggling NRL cubs is what keeps the alive

But 2012 is approaching fast and if Mr Stokes doesn't see the value in a team outside of the traditional areas then so be it.

Kerry Stokes has got nothing to do with News Ltd or the NRL

In my opinion, this is the main reason that News wants out of the game now.

The Kerry Stokes doesn’t see value in the NRL outside NSW and Qld? News Ltd is exiting the game because they see that now the game can stand on its own 2 feet. They also are setting themselves up for bigger things with federal government legislation that could see Telstra being forced to sell their half interest in Foxtel, with the pending NBN rollout. If you think News Ltd are exiting the NRL because of the Storm, you need to give yourself a dozen uppercuts,

Are Cronulla gonsky's yet. Fu*k they sh*t me big time. What a waste of space. Die baby die. You're just holding back the league big time. Perth or a second Brizzy team are just sweating bolder turds on you fu*kers taking a bullet to the head once and for all.

For fu*k sake, do us all a favor and just do it, pull that trigger, I swear you won't feel a thing. It would be the greatest thing you bunch of terminal reject losers ever did for the game. So go on, what the hell are you waiting for? A premiership? P-leeease, the second coming is more likely or believable.

Just put a slip knot around your neck, a tablet of arsenic under the tongue or just gut yourself like the rotting fish that you are. But whatever you do don't just lay there thinking that no one will notice and eventually something will change for the better. Cause IT WON'T!!! As history has shown us with you fin flops time and time again, your rotting smelly dieing stenchness just keeps on getting stronger. So like I said and soooo many others are thinking. Feed yourselves to the sharks you great big useless mother !@#$^%&!!!!

There now that feels much better, I might go and play with the kids now. Ciao.

 

[Loudstrat]

We want to punt the Sharks and allow clubs with supporters in like this knob jockey?

:lol:

Perth and a second Brisbane side died in infancy. Cronulla are still around. I wonder at all the Annandale fans waiting for Cronulla to die so they can get back in!

I loved how he brought up history :lol: What are you - f*cking Lazarus?

If and when Cronulla die, watch this space. In the meantime - f*ck off.

 

[TheRam]

Take it easy plunker, i'm entitled to my opinion, and no I am not Lazarus, i'm the guy who brought him back to life...GOD!!!

now we're staying around just to spite you..*middle finger*

yeah, cause we are really dying *looks at development and the massive overhaul the front office has recieved*

 

[Loudstrat]

Vossy, It is quite clear that your club should commit suicide in it's 41st year of operation so we can bring back 2 clubs who lasted 2 years each.

Yes, he is entitled to his opinion. He's the only nunce that wants it!

ok, ill be back, just going out to get some milk :sarcasm:

oh and its now 43 years :shock:

 

[Brutus]

Let's have another 10 NSW teams just to keep Loudy happy.

 

[Red'n'White]

Axe them for Central Coast........

 

[Vossy]

Axe them for Central Coast........

axe you and have a team based in wollongong..oh wait

 

[Perth Red]

axe them all and start again!

Mooohahahahahaaaaaaaa.


Suffer looser, and you'll be suffering some more when the axe comes down and removes your toxic head. Only then will life come flooding back to that wonderful western city of Oz and or the resurrection of team two in Brizzy.

Hell even the Central Coast is a preferred option to that putrefied lame fish they have a hide in calling a Shark. Ha! Well if it is a shark, it hasn't caught a thing in 43 years of prowling the depths of the sea, except maybe a chronic case of miserable and gaunt creating malnutrition.

Shoot to the contrary, instead it limply swims round and round in circles with its arse hanging out of its own pocket expecting a free feed from others more accomplished and who know how to kill what they eat.

Well no more you here. From now on your weak and puny body will be left to drown and sink to the darkest depths without a trace or any silverware to show that you were even here. Of that I am sure and if you are honest with yourself so are you. Don't even bother to deny it, it just won't wash. One more mis-step my friend and you're gonskies and we all know it.

Oh and if I were you I'd put away that bony scrawny finger of yours before a real predator comes along and mistake's it for a little worm and eats it and you whole, just like that.

That's all. Bye bye.

Ipswich-Logan Jets? I think a team like that would increase the value of the TV rights.

no the rumour I heard was raiders being moved to logan. pretty out there I know but my old man has a mate in the council who says it isn't official but it's being investigated i.e. building a stadium. and that they had a positive response from NRL

I'm sure that rumour came up like a year or two ago. The Raiders spokesman laughed it off and said that if they were going to relocate to SEQ (which they weren't) they'd move to somewhere like Toowoomba where they'd have their own market/identity.

Why do you (and others) use the failure of teams during the SL War as some kind of reason not to expand back into these areas? Look at the Gold Coast Titans. The comp is a million times stronger now and there is no reason why the Reds or another SEQ team wouldn't be a massive success.

Well Logan is there feeder team. I seriously doubt they'll move but yeah just saying what i heard canberra to logan in 2012. if it happens you heard it here first.

Lets have another 10 Yawnion sides to keep you barred up.

L4P, I thought you were smarter than some of the Sydney hating dimwits on here. I would love Perth to come back. I want the game to expand - to be strong as it can be.

I detest, however, the assertion that places like Perth will be so strong that existing clubs should be culled to make way for them - then the same people extolling this action demand the NRL prop them up.

I also detest the deathriders of whichever Sydney team has a poor season and gets sub 13k crowds - and then demand there execution, whilst praising an 8k crowd as the future of the code.

How hard is THAt to comprehend?

cause they are deadsh!ts :crazy:

if you got together all the little clue they all might have, they still wouldnt have enough for a f**king clue..
