Fiji's bid for 18th NRL license

[SpaceMonkey]

you could even introduce a draft style system with the team finishing bottom having 1st pick of the players.

not gonna work in the islands. Players aren’t going to want to move to a different country with th a different language and culture for semi-pro money.

 

[Vlad59]

If that's the case then why do you want to put a team in this dump?

That isn’t good. Renovatable though

A new western and northern stand are a must.

Does anyone think Fiji has a realistic chance of getting an NRL licence?

I don't.

It’d need a similar push from the Aus Government that PNG is getting. Even then PNG would probably have to be somehow paying for themselves and slowly weaned off government money which is unlikely.

A few teams in the NSW systems would be good though. Jersey Flegg is set up now but another junior team or 2 and a senior team in NSW Cup would be good.

Expand the Queensland Cup into New Caledonia and Fiji.

Create a Fiji, Samoa Tonga, New Caledonia- Oceania Club League

At some point expansion will have to stop

I think we (Aust Govt through the Pacific Sport thing) pay some millions to enable the Fiji Drua men and women’s super rugby teams to play in that comp.
So it isn’t unprecedented.

Yep they get $1.8mill a year of our hard earned. An nrl club is going To need eight to ten times that.

A professional second division is needed more than ever.

You think a 14k athletics stadium is fit for regular nrl games?

Neither do I, but if Perth Red is going to condemn other clubs for playing at similar grounds then he's not in a position to push for the Pirates to play out of PRS in a black, red and gold jersey that's reserved for them.

Calling those 2 "similar" proves you are either the dumbest person to have ever existed, or the worst troll on the internet.

I never said PRS is similar to the park in Fiji.

It is similar to Campbelltown Sports Stadium and Penrith Football Stadium.

Yeh, so what's your whinge then?

It's better than half the home grounds the NRL currently plays in

So why even bring it up when the conversation was about the Fiji ground?

Too costly.

the pacific region is perfect for Queensland and NSW cup as well as jersey flegg levels.

 

[Brian potter]

With promotion and relegation?

Not surprising you can't answer the question. You were trying to say they were similar, otherwise there was no other reason to bring up PRS.
