“We've got New York and a number of other areas very interested and there are whispers from Perth that they are interested because there is a direct flight now into London," Wigan owner Ian Lenagan said.

“guaranteed $3m more than the salary cap, which is $9.4m this season and due to rise to $10m in 2022.

In addition, the NRL has introduced a $5.7m ceiling on football department spending to slow the annual 12% increase in costs on coaching and performance.

"They've now got enough money to sustain themselves so if they run smart, effective and efficient business models we should have 16 strong clubs," Greenberg told reporters at a briefing ahead of the NRL's AGM.”

and people question whether nrl clubs make big profits

Should have done, we'd at least have had a club for ten years now to follow, and a trip to Wembley to see Perth v HKR would have been a life event!

The costs of maintaining such a venture and self interest from the other clubs would have killed a Perth team in the RFL system while it was still in the cradle.

We are genuinely getting to the point where Perth's best chances of seeing a professional RL side may lay outside of the NRL for the foreseeable future though, which is insane. They aren't alone in that either. A consortium of ballsy businessmen with strong broadcast and/or streaming partners could really make a go of a smaller league at the moment, especially if all involved didn't let ego take over and lived within their means.

I would probably go with Christchurch too. I think it would be easier to cultivate a rivalry based on the North vs South Island difference (although I am happy to be proven otherwise by a Kiwi)

Don't let not know anything about new zealand stop u from talking nonsense..

Term Circle jerkers has homophobic connotations.

No it doesn't, you dumb merkin.

So now you are accusing me of being racist and homophobic because you have no argument, all while you use actual misogynistic insults against me. Why do you despise women so much?
