you might be right, or you might be wrong. No one can say for sure. Sounds like PNG is far from a done deal.
It’s all too difficult to read articles isn’t it lmao

Perth should be 19 and team 20 could be nz2 if beisbane tigers are involved in team 18

2 more clubs looking shaky....

Leicester are the strongest English club they were building a hotel and average 20k or so

the fact they are close to going under is an eye opener

the article didn’t mention Quins they have a huge debt burden too

If more clubs collapse maybe this could be a benefit to super league

I remember way back we were talking about the collapse of the aru and a certain union troll was assuring us they would be propped up by the rfu if needed

now the rfu can’t even prop up it’s own clubs

If that troll was still around I’m sure that would make his head explode

Ahh Australia, the other fallback you twats go to. Too bad the thread isn't about Australia, It's about NZ, where the biggest domestic Leagues are also doing fine. Rugby, Soccer, Cricket, Netball, Basketball.. guess which sport is no longer anywhere near the "biggest" half dozen sports "domestically" in NZ. Guess which sport is struggling domestically the most. I'll give you a hint, This website is dedicated to it.
doing fine ?
Yawnion had to get bailed out by a private equity company from the USA
no one cares about the others

hows the water ?
in that River in Africa

More people watch the Cricket, Netball, Rugby here than watch the League so as usual you're full of shit and deflecting.... The death knell of NZ2 must have been hard for you.

but beyond there

World Rugby get the profits from the world cup you muppet not the RFU. You're getting more and more stupid with every post.

That's not remotely accurate.

Of course it's true, why do you think Spark paid more for the Cricket than SKY did for the League? And netball is the highest rating woman's sport in the country by a mile. It helps its on free to air as well.

only a moron wouldn't believe it

& i present you
exhibit A


What kind of idiot thinks that NZR is so all powerful and mighty that it can stop SkyTV from releasing viewing figures to sporting organisations... INCLUDING the NRL? Only a very special kind of idiot... that being you.

If we believed every article in the last 18 months we'd have a 24 team comp by next year lol Are you forgetting it was only 4 weeks ago that Vlandys was saying melbourne2 is top of the agenda? I wouldn't hold much stead in what he spouts at this point in time.

May 2nd - 'ARL commission chairman Peter V'landys has revealed the NRL was '100 percent' looking at adding a second team in Victoria as the code looks to expand further.
And according to News Corp, establishing a second team in Victoria is top of the NRL's agenda with V'landys insisting the league 'would have to be mad not to look' at expanding in Australia's second-smallest state.'

If you want to ignore articles and post fiction that’s perfectly fine

I just read articles to keep updated and discuss what’s contained therein

as it stands now png will be team 18

and there’s a very strong likelihood of 2 more teams by the brisbane Olympics one of which is nailed on Perth

so that gives us an 18 team comp for the next tv deal and then a 20 team comp for the following tv deal

not only will they get money from broadcasters to cover the three new teams but will make hundreds of millions more for players and other parts of the game to share

maybe stop being so jaded and judge the current leadership on what they are doing rather than assuming they are duds like what went before

despite the collective wisdom of much of the expansion forum png is probably one of the most visionary steps ever undertaken by the game since 1908

Lol fiction? It’s a quote from Vlandys! Last month melbourne2 was top of their agenda, this month PNG is top of the list. Can’t wait to see who’s favourite next month.
