Ive seen many Redcliffe comments this week over different channels.
Has Redcliffe been put on notice in case the Sharks go belly up?
Not sure, what I have noticed is their decision to drop the Redcliffe name from their media releases. They're now just Dolphins, which could be a sign of a change to the Brisbane Dolphins.

You idiot. And virtually no one knows about the 2nd tier basketball as far as the mainstream goes. This matters for sponsors etc. But you cant figure this out. Top flight is the the go in OZ. Stop wasting yours and my time!

Your right I am wasting my time, your an idiot and won’t get another reply from me.

Cop it sweet PR .Remember I have been warned by your incessant attack on rugby league strongholds . Had you acknowledged the worth and relevance of such longstanding and widely supported clubs in a nation that is both large in distance and small in population, a much more supportive stance would have been realised for additional expansion clubs. However by seeking to 'whiteant' this renowned competition's established clubs you have inadvertently harnessed opposition to such expansion. The genuine expansion is and should be without dilution of established clubs. More clubs in YES! Carving up/relegating clubs NO!

Little bit of advice here, If you are going to call someone "thick" when you post, you should probably do a spot of proof reading first.

"foliow" is not a word and makes you look "thick"

and its "you're thick" not "your thick". here are some examples for you since you don't seem to understand.

"Stallion you're Stupid"
"Stallion you're incapable of coherent thought"
"Stallion you're a mental midget"

As apposed to

"Stallion your posts show you aren't very intelligent"
"Stallion your ability to rationalise an argument is missing"
"Stallion your skills as any form of teacher are non existent"
The difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit.

Lol. 26milion in a nation almost as big as mainland USA. What's the USA population champ.? Now work it out with a distance per person per capita ratio ! You dumb shit!

Insults don't get you out of answering the questions:

  • Why can the NBL teams fly anywhere between Perth and NZ?
  • Why can the Hunters fly around QLD in the QLD Cup?
  • Why can the Warriors fly back and forth in the NSW Cup?
  • Why can the WA Pirates run an SG Ball team flying back and forth to NSW?
  • Why can the Victorian Thunderbolts run a Hastings Deering Cup team flying around QLD?

You crack me up! The NBL is an Australian competition not American lol even the most despised and poorly run of sports, rugby union, has a national second grade competition in this country. Who’d have thought it possible lol.

@Stallion makes the point that anything below top teir sports doesn't count in Australia, yet it is the good crowds that Union get in Shute Shield that he uses to point out that the game is under attack in North Sydney. You know, Shute Shield, that third teir RU comp....... :rolleyes: It must be possible afterall......

I bet the answer is to do with union holding the sport back.

Have you any idea that these sports are very different! ? The tyranny of distance that you ignore is critical with respects to fan attendance. This isn't about the clubs travelling to and from games by air ? It's about the fans! Wow. How lost are you! ?

Yes, I'll give you these odds:

$1.25: Union
$1.50: Ticket Pricing
$2.10: No response to a question that points out his lack of logic

$1.01 Poor thinking/attitude within the code thats a big part of the game being constrained. You blokes are reflect such thinking.

The scenario in northern Sydney is showing that a void is steadily being filled by abandoned fans that once swim rugby league as relevant in their lives. The elimination of the Bears v Manly Warringah rivalry /Darby has cemented a decline in rugby league's relevance in this area of 1.2 million people. Whilst the locals seek local union as the replacement you idiots can't work it out! ?

WA govt seems quite comfortable with the economic forecast for next few years. Billions, yes that’s many billions, of $’s of revenue generating minining projects started this year, $4.5billion gst return negotiated. WA economy is not looking problematic. Feds also announced better than expected mid forecast. All of your arguments are hypotheticals with no evidence they are definitely going to happen.

Sure Trump could wage war on the world, China might invade Korea or Britain may wage world war 3 with the european union and the world economy could crash, or we could get hit by a meteorite, or we could face a zombie apoloclaypse. Such are the variables of life lol.

Nothing certain in life except death, but you make calls based on best evidence assumptions.

Forecasts ,computer models etc etc.Read and heard it all before.Change of Govt's can also impact the situation.

Had a guy a respected foreign International Affairs guy on Richo on Fox last night.His name is Keith Souter.
He noted with the new Chinese Belt and Road policy which goes through Asia/Middle East and into Europe, that country will be spending a fortune on infrastructure .
To the extent of say Tajikstan having mineral ore in quantity,and the Chinese buys saying to Aus suppliers, if you charge us X+ ,we can get the same from "name inserted" for X-.take it or leave it.
The amount of leverage China will have on dictating prices in the future ,due to their financial influence in these countries within the Belt and Road, will be a worry for Australia.
So one does not have to go to war with China, they will have won the economic war.

Do you understand what the tyranny of distance is?

In your own words explain to me what you think the tyranny of distance means...

Cause realistically with modern technology the effects of the tyranny of distance are negligible at best and only really effect away support that intends to attend away games, which realistically is a minor issue these day when games can be relatively easily broadcast around the world.

Why can Union clubs thrive in the third teir in North Sydney and according to you North Sydney can't compete in the second teir of RL?

Your point is that we can't have a second teir with teams from accross the country because of ''tyrany of distance''. I've pointed out to you that the NSW Cup currently do it with the Warriors, QLD Cup do it with the Hunters, SG Ball do it with the Pirates and the NBL do it with the Wildcats and Breakers. Three of those are the exact same sport (lol) and I chose the NBL as an example as it generates the same amount of revenue a national second teir rugby league comp would generate and they manage to have clubs travelling long distances.

Why do the examples that I have listed (three of them are RL comps that are not professional) not suffer from ''tyrany of distance''?
