Is that a list of the least desirable places in Australia

well that's just an opinion but who cares anyway? Hawaii is a lovely destination but has no sports teams of note. Dallas is one of the more dull cities in the US and has one of the biggest sports teams in the world.

and which one is more successful, has more income?

Which one has had a team in Canberra for 40 years?

 

[Maximus]

Apparently 3,000 kms away is too far, but we are going to be a massive success 12,000 kms away in Vegas.

It’s simply not communism or even close.

Firstly, there is isn’t a common ownership aspect here.

The ARLC controls the game. The players are paid with money that's provided to the clubs by the ARLC. Players who hold different political views to the ARLC are punished. The Manly "pride" saga is a case in point.

Secondly, any player is able to go wherever he/she (in the NRLW sense) wishes to go. The way you are seemingly looking at this you are suggesting that players are somehow owned by the NRL or a central body and told where to go or play. If a player wishes to play for Melbourne or PNG or wherever, they are free to do so.

Israel Folau?

He wasn't free to play for whoever he wanted. Clubs weren't allowed to sign him. He didn't support the latest fad.

Todd Carney?

Players stood down because they were accused of doing something but haven't had their day in court?

Most players have limited options. Only one club might be interested in a player.

Thirdly, the closest thing that PR is arguing for is a subsidy. A subsidy again isn’t communism. You can argue whether it is fair or not (and on occasions it isn’t fair) but again it isn’t communism.

There's nothing fair about taking from the providers and giving it to the bludgers. Storm have been budging off SEQ for decades.

We do have a National, and international, competition with a bigger footprint than afl

No one is suggesting a team be based out of Las Vegas, dickhead!

What involvement did the ARLC have in Manlys Pride jersey?

And @Get Rid of The Donkeys f**k your shitty politics into every discussion take

That's literally how western societies are set up in the taxation and welfare systems lol
Sharing the wealth and trying to make everyone as successful as they can be is no bad thing.

I thought it was very generous of Melbourne to give redcliffe a leg up when no decent players wanted to go there lol

 

[Perth Red]

We do have a National,

no we dont, in a country with 6 states we arent in 3 of them. That doesnt smack of national does it?

I know you haven’t lived in Australia all your life but Australia is more than just the capital cities

I mean not having a team In the nations capital when your biggest rival does ….. now that smacks of not being national

plus you can’t claim to be National when your so called National comp loses to another by 40 million viewers

Perth red would claim the nrl is more National if if got rid of the cowboys knights raiders and dragons and replaced them with teams in Perth and Adelaide

He once said the Cowboys should have been punted and the Reds kept around.
