If perth is such a can't miss home run for nrl expansion..?!

On how they operate? Of course.

Be careful to contradict the negative narrative of this pack of peanuts.

 

[Bukowski]

But we don’t learn lessons from the weak or failing clubs

I didn't say they wouldn't. You struggling to keep up with the conversation.

 

[Bukowski]

Don't all of the Scorchers players play for WA in Shield and One dayers?

That and winning it most years are great to get fan engagement but yes that will be crucial for Team 18

Excluding the overseas players? I'm not sure if the whole team are locals but they do like to keep it local. 8 week comp though with a ton of travelling so they wouldn't be luring players to live here.

Getting outside the box maybe pirates entering teams (or partnering with existing teams in those comps) in the digicell cup and English championship might be a relatively cheap option to bring through possible 18-21 year olds from those countries who’d go on to join the pirates reserve grade side if good enough?

I'd suggest having local talent scouts is a far more realistic option.

I'd also assume you can't just "enter" a team into the English RL pyramid without starting at the bottom (right?).

National Reserve grade fixes this

National Reserve grade fixes this

Yes, that would definitely help places like Perth Melb and NZ. Is this coming on soon?

Never dealt with the QRL I'm guessing.....

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

Well everyone likes to include their owners wealth, be it LC or private owner, in wealth if club, so going by others measures the force have billions backing them. I mean come on the guy built an entire comp just so his club could keep playing!

Wookiw exposed himself as a troll. He's spent weeks arguing that all revenue counts, regardless of whether it's from football operations or gaming machines and the governing body. Using his logic the revenue from Twiggy counts just as much. The fact he's trying to rewrite the rules proves he doesn't believe the shit he says and is just looking to join he circle-jerk.

Wookie = Troll

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

I managed to be a fan of rugby league despite losing my club

you can too lol

Cool. Then we can get rid of three or four Sydney clubs and not lose fans from NSW. The licences from the axed Sydney clubs can be given to unrepresented markets so we can generate new fans.

Ask the QRL, They are the hold up

Cowboys are using a single Reserve grade side
As a Dolphins

they will come around

You HAVE dealt with the QRL!

People forget or a choosing to forget that there was 3 grades last time Perth was in

You reckon? Dolphins cannot even have a single Qld Cup game as an early game for the NRL. Nor can Cowboys. Redcliffe will play to an empty Kayo stadium Sunday Arvos despite The Dolphins playing at home same weekend.

When those sides are flogging teams of part timers

This dilemma has been played out in the QLD Cup since the 90s. The comp is pretty even.
