I never said Adelaide would became a Rugby League stronghold lol
SO you want to limit the game's potential growth in Brisbane just so you can create a small club that generates niche support in Adelaide?
There's no words to describe that sort of stupidity and insanity.
If you think a small Adelaide club that will never be anything but niche at best is more important than a third Brisbane club that generates two to three times more revenue from football operations -- better viewing numbers on a weekly basis -- then you're not very bright and need to see a psychiatrist.
What this all boils down to is you're insecure about the Raiders. You know your club is based in a small regional city that prefers fumbleball and rugby union over rugby league. Its future is up in the air because the ACT Gov will never invest in a new stadium and are actively pursuing an AwFuL club of its own.
Tl;Dr
You're insecure because your club hasn't been worth anything to anyone for the best part of 30 years. Suck it up and move on.
It really bothers you to see Brisbane grow because it reminds you that Canberra will never be anything but a small regional city that no one cares about. It pisses you off because you had to escape to Brisbane to get away from Canberra's bitterly cold winters and lacklustre nightlife. Now you're seeing Brisbane transform into a genuine worldly city on every metric and it reminds you of your beginnings in poor old unloved Canberra. A third Brisbane team will remind you that Brisbane is a better and bigger place than Canberra will ever be, and that shits you to no end because you think you're better than Queenslanders.
bringing up on the spot, throwaway comments made to the media as argumentative evidence again. Politis is like 80 years old and he probably has his own personal agendas in regards to expansion. I don't give a shit what he thinks or wants.
Blah blah blah.
Accept it buddy, Politis has sway and you don't. The idea of expanding to a 20 team competiton was suggested to the ARLC by him.
Back in 2020 you said Perth was just as likely as Brisbane to get the 17th licence. You dismissed all the evidence I provided from figureheads within the game as "throwaway lines". Those so-called "throwaway lines" about Brisbane being the location of the 17th licence turned out to be true. You just didn't want them to be true so you deluded yourself into believing they were "throwaway lines". All of the sources I quoted turned out to be right.
You ridiculed me when I said traditional BRL clubs should be introduced into the NRL. We got three traditional BRL clubs bid for the 17th licence. Their bids were so strong that the cashed up "neutral" Brisbane Bombers merged with one. More proof that my idea was right and you were wrong. Reality eventually caught up wirh you and your mates who laughed at the idea of a traditional BRL club entering the NRL. Watching you and your mates whine like bitches in the aftermath of the Dolphins' inclusion was delicious.
You're also stupid and crazy enough to think there's a conspiracy by the ARLC and broadcasters to keep the NRL out of Adelaide and Perth, yet you say there's no way they'll add a third team to Brisbane. Talk about being all over the place. You've deluded yourself into only seeing what you want to see.
