Rugby league legend Mal Meninga believes it is inevitable that WA will join the National Rugby League. How it happens is another matter.
The record-breaking former Australian, Queensland and Canberra Raiders captain and Maroons State of Origin coach said the new NRL commission would need to make tough decisions over the expansion that was expected to include a WA Reds side within three years.
Meninga said a priority was ensuring a good spread of talented players.
"The issue is not about Perth coming back into the competition it's about how you do that," Meninga said.
"It's inevitable and it's important that WA is included in any expansion if we are going to be a truly national rugby league.
