Asside, how do you think the expansion options would go in regards to crowds?
Bluetongue stadium (20,000 capacity) is nice and newish, but its capacity would be the lowest or close to the lowest in the NRL (Brookvale Oval, Toyota Stadium, Leichhardt Oval size). Once the honeymoon is over, will they be like Manly or Cronulla, drawing around 12-13k average, or are they potentially stronger? No one can say with any real certainty, but the population is spread out, and North Sydney is a fair distance away. It would be safe to say they would be around a 13k average side.
nib Stadium (currently 21000, being upgraded to 25,000) will be good if they ever get started on the redevelopment. Perth would probably be on par with Canberra in terms of attendences, maybe stronger. So 13k ish, but they are an important market for other reasons, so that would be acceptable, so long as it grows.
Suncorp Stadium (52,500) would probably draw an average in the low to mid 20k's for Brisbane II, which would grow over a decade or two to possibly close to the Broncos.
Ipswich whould rely on a Skilled Park style functional but cheap 25k stadium, and Suncorp for 2 or so big games. Probably would average something similar to the Titans (17-19k), maybe more from the Suncorp games.
Central Queensland would be the worst attended by far. The stadium proposed by the Qld Gov would be 20k, 1/3 of the population... Would rely on travelling fans just to be looking at a 12k average. A club like that is too small for the game, no matter how much QR and mining money is pumped into it.
Westpac Stadium (36k) has potential in Wellington, yet Super Rugby regularily gets sub 10k crowds there, and it wouldn't be available for more than half a dozen games. Christchurch would be a similar situation.
