Brisbane Tigers make their bid to be 18th team

Funding for the QRL and NSWRL will be reduced to cover the expenses of Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth.

Didn't I mention this in my previous post?

Reserving three licences for Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth means three areas from the heartland miss out on progressing to the NRL. A club like the Brisbane Tigers has the capacity to generate more revenue from the broadcasters, provide better third party sponsorship deals for elite players and convert more juniors into NRL stars. Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth will never be anything but parasites that provide zero value to the broadcasters -- look at the cumulative ratings for NRL in these cities --- and poach talent from the heartland.

I read that part - I even mentioned it in my last post.

Again, that is not an example of destroying the histories and traditions of Sydney and Brisbane clubs. It is an example perhaps of people being upset and thinking something isn’t fair but again it is not destroying them. For example, if the Brisbane Tigers don’t get a licence (and they would have to create a new future history and tradition as an NRL club under a different name in any case) they will still have their history and tradition as a BRL club.

In fact, in order for those histories and traditions to be destroyed, you would have to destroy the game itself and by extension those clubs. That’s a hard argument for one to make considering the growth of the game and viewership et al.

If Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth provide no value to broadcasters, how does the AFL even have a tv deal?

Apples and oranges.

NRL ratings for Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth are 7k, 11k and 8k. For AwFuL they're 77k, 219k and 56k.

Ask any BRL, Newtown or North Sydney fan if they're happy with their teams no longer being in the big league and they'll say "No".

You don't see Perth Red pushing for a team in the Queensland or NSW Cup.

He used the bullshit excuse that it's too costly with zero commercial return. For him it's NRL or nothing.

They were calling themselves Brisbane Tigers NRL bid until recently. I recall them saying they may not use the Firehawks brand when they launched their bid at Langlands Park. The first I heard of it was on the Bye Round podcast.

Don't people in those cities have access to foxtel/kayo? Or is ch9 the only broadcaster that matters?

100 percent

there is no argument against this

if we had no other good expansion options like the Brisbane tigers png or maybe nz2 then sure waste some spots on Perth and Adelaide

but to ignore those places for places that will add basically nothing is so stupid

Dane is a ranting and raving lunatic. He reckoned the second Brisbane team should have been called the Brisbane Sawfish and not affiliated with any BRL club. Anyone who thinks a team called Brisbane Sawfish would be more successful than the Redcliffe Dolphins is as delusional as f**k. He never explained where the money to fund a bullshit "neutral" team like the Sawfish would come from. He probably thinks all money grows on trees, is collected by a communist and then is given out to everyone via Centrelink.



Dane argues for the sake of being a prickly contrarian. His verbose arguments never make any sense and are based on bullshit.

It’s a battle between Dane and red as to who can make up the most bs then argue with anyone who tries to bring them back to reality

Dane is a poor troll. I hope Perth red is too but sadly some times I don't know..

Red makes me laugh

Dane can occasionally be quite intelligent when he’s not being a pompous ass

Ratings for PTV aren't broken down by metro region.

Adelaide and Perth should be the last places added to the NRL. Charity begins at home. AwFuL have pissed off a lot of people by płacing GWS and Gold Coast ahead of the heartland.

Of course they are not happy. They still died because they had no money left. Wrong time and wrong place perhaps and that is sad but that’s history and you can’t change that.

That also doesn’t mean that they no longer have any history or in the case of Norths and Newtown a presence in a second grade competition.

Lastly, again, you’re not talking to Perth Red atm. You are talking to me. I have no inclination to talk about what he said nor do I think it relevant to our discussion.

So? Foxtel would certainly know how many people are watching in each city, and they pay more for the sport that covers all of the cities. That would suggest that those cities therefore do in fact hold value.

 

[Perth Red]

Dolphins in one year have grown rugby league more than gws Tasmania and suns combined (maybe lions too)

your one of the few people still trying to argue against the dolphins or similar additions

Dolphins grew the pot $20mill, if that.
Afl just grew their pot $200mill. Hmmmmmmm

To be fair and not to side with the others but those clubs were already in the competition.

Doesn’t necessarily disprove your point but it doesn’t prove your point with relation to the last deal either.

Seemingly hasn’t hurt their bottom line though

Despite me telling him for months there was nothing to say they had abandoned the name he was convinced lol.
He’s now all shtty that they aren’t going to be called the logan jets.
his 180 degree dummy spit suggests we should pretty much ignore anything he has to say about brisbane 3 lol
