Now you see what i mean, by the trolling going on, as soon as there is something new in the media, the next team goes on the chopping block, last year it was melbourne, 6 months later it was move dragons, then tigers then sharks, and this whole week it was manly, now its gold coast... flip flop chop chop.
I mean that depends.
Confirmation bias is probably the biggest problem in the NRL expansion discussion right now, even PVL seems to suffer from it.
Well i applaud him if he gets expansion off the ground, he has already done plenty in my eyes, and this will be the cherry on top, to get more teams entered, and hopefully spread to more areas, NZ2, WA, SA and maybe even PNG or Cairns based joint PNG. Its all gotta start somewhere
My distrust in the Titans is based on historical records from 2011.
So what! Whether you trust their crowd data or not, doesn't amount to turfing them as soon you can. Your delusional theories of who deserves an NRL licence over others based on cherry picked facts is getting worse as weeks go by, you forget that this is an expansion thread, not a rationalisation to 2 teams thread
Why do the Titans leave the southern stand closed?
Same can be said of the warriors or cowboys once upon a time, hell you've stated cases for Melbourne's leg up during news ltd ownerships many times over, there's always a team in your sights, go back to what your good at and revert to hating the broncos again... your posts are getting woefully boring
Cowboys have always drawn strong numbers for a regional team.
Failure was at the cowboys, for over a decade, i dont care about crowds like you do, i care that a team, any team can be successful in any season given the chance, it might take another decade before gold coast becomes consistently in finals or at least win a premiership, god knows it took the cowboys 10 years to make one, and 20 years before they managed to do it.
Lack of consistent on-field success isn't the problem for the Titans. It's the apathy of the Gold Coast public for the team. The city has earnt its reputation as a graveyard for professional sport.
If I was in charge of the Titans I’d start to think outside of the box like teaming up with both the hunters and silktails and investing heavily in both Fijian and PNG junior RL clinics/junior development clubs.
They have a huge catchment, why do they need png and fiji, thats a weird thing to say.... unless... you know nothing about the titans catchments, that's most probably it...
Why limit yourself to just the Gold Coast catchment area?
It'll be interesting to see how they rate and draw in 10 years. If they're still where they are now, then what does the ARLC do?
Probably all depends if the Titans are balancing their books. If they are haemorrhaging serious $$ and are averaging poor crowds with or without success then you’d probably have to say that their goose is cooked.
Data from 10 years ago, under different ownership. I don’t think that would hold up in a court of law…… grasping at straws mate. You’re not doing yourself any favours.
That’s last year’s numbers. Go and look at the released data and be a bit more honest.
