I really like your focus on cities with 6 million+ inhabitants

sponsorships should be in the 100's of millions for each club.

great work loudstrat
then we can pay several players a max of 50 million per season, and thank god they will never ever goto Union or europe!

In order:
Sydney 4 teams
Brisbane 3 teams
Hunter
Gold Coast
Illawarra
Canberra
Gosford-Wyong
Sunshine Coast

Thats 13 and if I needed more then it would have to come from the following:
1 more from Sydney
Perth
Auckland
Melbourne
Far north Qld

This is based on the following population counts
Sydney 4,119,190
*Melbourne 3,592,591
Brisbane 1,763,131
*Perth 1,445,078
*Auckland 1,294,000
Newcastle-Hunter 589,239
Gold Coast 482,324
Illawarra 394,211
Canberra-Queanbeyan 368,129
Gosford-Wyong 297,956
Sunshine Coast 276,267
Far North Qld 231,152
The asterisk (*) is for populations where the supporter base is 'impaired' by other sports such as AFL and Union. I have also assumed a certain amount of impairment to the Sydney supporter base from piss-poor access to sporting grounds. I'm not going to name the teams that should and shouldn't make it.

So we're going to ignore the heartlands in preference to population centres, is that your plan? Illawarra has been tried before and couldn't stand alone, hence their merger. What's going to be different this time around? Three teams in Brisbane? Logan and Ipswich perhaps, or Redcliffe? Not that any of those are in Brisbane of course. Sunshine Coast? With its sprawl and lack of a venue?

Bugger it, let's just have the old NSWRL plus some SEQ teams.

You're kidding. I feel more stupid just answering you.

Yeah lets just roll over and take it up the arse from the AFL and let them take all our juniors that supply a sh*teload to the NRL...well done.

I think 16 teams is a good balance, so like most others I've gone for that...and then later down the road with increased juniors and player numbers and whatnot it could possibly be expanded to 18 or 20 sides.

1-Parramatta Eels
2-Penrith Panthers
3-Eastern Suburbs Roosters
4-Manly Sea Eagles
5-Southern Sydney Sharks
6-Central Coast Bears
7-Newcastle Knights
8-Canberra Raiders

9-Brisbane Broncos
10-Gold Coast Titans
11-North Queensland Cowboys
12-Melbourne Storm
13-Adelaide Rams
14-Western Tigers (Perth)
15-New Zealand Warriors
16-Darwin

The inclusion of Darwin is probably a little optimistic...however there is an untapped sporting market up there, with no major sporting teams at all calling the place home. Not to mention the population is increasing substantially and (at least when I lived there for a short time) there was a decent level of support for league...But if that wasn't going to work I'd give NZ another side.

Okay here's another plan. 16 teams in townsville and let's just ignore nsw and SEQ.
The fact is that TV and advertising will pay for these people to play and the majority of the money for that comes from people in Sydney and Brisbane tuning in. Hence you have to go with population centres. Wouldn't it be better if people in Brisbane were tuning in to 3 or 4 games a week instead of 1? But just forget about that because up north in your magical fairy land money just falls off the mango trees in abundance and you don't need to worry about revenue because there will be oodles of talented north queenslanders lining up to play for free.
