Brisbane Tigers make their bid to be 18th team

[Pippen94]

there are no club 18 bids from anywhere as the nrl hasn’t called for them yet. There is one definite perth bid team ready to put forward a bid if and when the nrl call for it. How hard is that for you to understand?

can't see what's not there. Tigers have come forward. Nobody from perth

 

[Perth Red]

NRL is not funding expansion dummy. If that's Perth's business model should they bid they won't get in. Need own money

Geez you’re stupid. Club 18 will get $17mill or whatever the club grant is by then plus the costs of running a 9th game every week to the nrl will come to around $20mill a year. That will be a cost to the nrl regardless of whoever gets club 18. That money needs to be recouped from increased tv revenue. So either the nrl takes a ou t the next tv deal will bring in more than $20mill extra a year or it waits until the deal is done to be sure before announcing club 18.

You’ve woken up from your cave particularly thick this morning Havent you troll.

Unless its gone public like the East tigers "intention" or PNGs "in working progress" or Bears "will go anywhere" then really there's nothing to tell or nothing to show evidence for, and we are all wasting breath fighting over it... i want all expansion ideas to come to fruition, but the order of them must come from invested pathways first ir they'll be nothing to fill the rosters with, with every new franchise added, besides the whole argument over who deserves a licence is moot, its who ever pisses the other 17 clubs off the least

Yes well as long as the NRL aren't paying for the infrastructure and other costs to put together the initial set up of the club, along with the staff running the club, not the actual match payments for coaching staff and players

Don’t stress, all will be revealed. The govt isnt putting $1/2mill behind nothing lol.

ive posted numerous times the article from last year where the bid team said they are willing to talk to the bears but ready to goit alone. Also the article last month that says the bid team have been learning from the dolphins. Not to mention the WA givt committing $1/2mill to the bid development costs. If the idiot wants to ignore that and believe there is no bid being developed in WA then that’s on him.

Lol, you've spent entire page throwing insults at me for suggesting there's no current bid. Now telling me to wait & see. Touchy subject

No, NRL will expect to pocket all monies from expansion. That's why selected rich club like dolphins. If u think NRL will prop up team like gws & suns maybe u should watch different sport

There is a WA bid being developed ready for when the nrl calls for bids. You can’t have a bid till that happens lol. Why that is so hard to understand for you I dont know. We know of one bid development for certain led by cumins. I am guessing this is the one the wa govt will throw it’s weight behind and when the time comes for the details to be announced we will know what they are putting forward.

Perth NRL expansion push gathers momentum

The Perth syndicate hoping to build a stand alone NRL expansion franchise is pushing ahead with their plan - but are happy to talk with the North Sydney Bears who are investigating a radical cross-country club.

What? The nrl will be paying out $20mill a year for any new club and the ninth game costs. or are you stupid enough to think the new club isn’t getting the nrl grant?

Some league fans don’t have a chip on their shoulder and remember when rugby league was the number one sport in Australia

and have been waiting for a leader with the balls to take it back to the top

afl is an overhyped dud sport which many on this forum fawn over bc they get big crowds and for no other reason

League was in a great position in 94 for sure. Four new teams in 1995 was too many though - should have been NQ and NZ in 95 then Brisbane 2 and Perth in 98/99. Anyway AFL is very successful on many metrics, to pretend that they are failing and NRL is kicking their ass is f**king geniused and cringeworthy.

TV pays for grant & then game. Then NRL doesn't want to bail out failing club.

but sure they get good crowds based on cheap ticket prices whilst nrl ticket prices can be 80 dollars

Problem with the fumblers is they lie about their success. They are going well enough without the blatant exaggeration. Our game is proceeding quite nicely right now. There are a lot of positives and a lot of potential. I’m happy with our position. Quality of the games this year has been outstanding. Your mob are a real hoot to watch. Never know what’s coming.

 

[taipan]

in reality they either have to negotiate with the incumbents and an extension to be sure the money is there for expansion in 2028, or to take a punt that the ninth game will be worth more than the $20mill a year it will cost and announce it prior to doing the next deal (deal will probably be in 2026) .

I highly doubt theyll take a Punt so don’t expect it will be announced u til the tv deal is done mid 2026. That won’t give much time for the new club but that’s rugba league for you.

You are stating the obvious by stating they will either have to negotiate with the incumbents, because 7 already fully committed to 2031.
Why an extension with the entry of the 18th team is in the year of the start of the new deal, will have impact.

I believe the NRL based on what the industry pundits including Gyngell has indicated the worth of an additional game (and yes that could include your mob) the $20m may not be a dumb amount considering we are looking at the deal starting in 2027, 4 years hence.
Deals from what I've seen are concluded about 2 years prior to commencement. Mid 2026 is rushing it for a deal starting in 2027.
Bear in mind the current FTA deal with Nein concluded belatedly in December 2021 more than 12 months to 2023 start.

That's playing with the sporting cards that are available (not a whiney rugba league description): an 18 team comp, a ch7 now fully committed money wise to fumbling,ch10 which is on skid row.Leaving 9 and Fox sports ,and we know both are stuffed without the NRL.

Also I remind you and worth noting" on 23/5/23 the NRL has reportedly given ch9 a serve over the league's diminished presence on the network.The NRL has previously held concerns about the FTA broadcast partnership somewhat ignoring the code in nationwide broadcasts including breakfast juggernaut Today.
Now the relationship has reportedly deteriorated even further with the NRL lodging an official complaint over the lack of coverage on the breakfast show."
I do not hear or remember any of the prior administrations of the NRL : Grant/ your Smith/Greenberg/Galloper getting off their backsides to rip into Nein over something we fans have been discussing for yonks.
All I have stated is either laid out by the media, common knowledge or reasonable to expect under deals that have taken place in the two major sporting codes.

Wasnt bracey on today the other day?

Where's the bid??

When a bid is called for the there will be a bid. At this moment in time there are only interested bidders, which include the WA consortoum, easts tigers, a png consortium and the ns bears.

 

[Perth Red]

You dumb arse any team is going to cost the nrl $20mill ayear, hence why the conversation around why its unlikely to be announced as happening until the 2028> tv deal is done and the nrl is confident it is getting at least $20million a year more in the new deal.

Great. No bid
