NRL's growth mindset points to 18th team. And it ain't Perth.

Wished I never looked into this thread.

It appears that some people like the sound of their own keyboards. Just like some people like the sound of their own voice.

Big change set to hit weekend structure as NRL tinker with 2023 draw

The NRL are considering a timeslot change.

www.google.com

"The expansion to 17 teams will likely be followed by an 18th team in the coming years.

It has been reported that a Perth expansion bid are leading the race, which would add further validity to a 6pm game on a Sunday, given that would be a 4pm kick-off in the Western Australian capital - seen as the perfect time for fans"

There's no actual quotes by anyone regarding this, but it all makes sense via timeslots... and nz having 6pm friday games is pretty much a given, especially since they barely get any F2A here, and if the NRL are happy with 3 sunday games most weeks then perth is the obvious choice... only issue now is it the WA Bears or is it a new franchise.. or will it be Adelaide Bears taking that timeslot (still a time difference but not as much as WA)
Be nice to know who's reported this

yeh interesting shift away from Friday 6pm to Sunday evenings, though with a ninth game that might come back into play I suppose?

Who reported Perth leading race?!

Who reported Perth leading race?!

I can literally feel your heart starting to sink at the prospect. It’s either between them or a second New Zealand side and it has been for a while. In reality there is no other real viable options.

If vlandys brings in Perth over nz2 (he shouldn’t) it’s going to be hilarious all the people on here who bagged him and he’s delivered exactly what they wanted

how they spin it is going to be hilarious

I’ll give him credit if he can get the TV deals to some sort of parity and can fix up the relationship with the NSW government.

It might not be him doing it though. It might be Greg Foran and a new commission.

You wanted him sacked

and he could deliver a Perth nrl team something this forum has fapped about since inception

I wanted him sacked because he is an incompetent negotiator. That hasn’t changed as far as I know.

If he learns and recovers from his mistakes then I’ll reconsider my stance on him

So he’s incompetent and will have added a second brisbane team during covid and then either Perth or nz2 ?

do you read what your write lmao

actually if Perth get a team they should build a statue after him outside nib stadium

I said that he is an incompetent negotiator. He might have some strengths but negotiation isn’t one of them. He has badly screwed up two negotiations now. We are considerably behind fumbleball on TV deals even if our ratings are better and the NSW government are now pulling out of further stadium funding

Do you have another word for it other than incompetence?

He screwed up one tv deal

made a few other minor mistakes

against all the good he has done

 

[Perth Red]

hahah a $240 mill a year gap isnt screwing it up, its a total clusterfck!
throw in stadium debacle, nswrl court debacle, rule change debacle, pssing off growth markets debacle, May deferred suspension debacle and so it goes on and on.

The worst thing about the stadium debacle under V'landys and his predecessor is they ignored the best interest of RL across Australia and NZ so they could get the best deal for Sydney's nine clubs. Instead of selling the GF to the highest bidder so they could ship it around the country -- to promote the game and hopefully expand into new markets -- they strung the Queensland Gov along and ensured the GF remained in Sydney until the 2040s. As a Queenslander who loves RL it was a huge "f**k you" from a Sydney-centric administration that I believe is corrupt, biased and incompetent.

To rub insult into injury, seven of Sydney's dumb clubs refuse to make use of them!

South Sydney signed a dumb extention with Stadium Australia and are now whinging because they want out. Tigers would rather play out of dilapidated parks. Bulldogs don't know where they want to play. Dragons and Sharks would rather be hillbilly clubs like Tigers than relocate to the SFS. Manly is just as insular and stubborn as they've always been. The game sacrificed the GF for this monumental waste of resources that are used by a whopping total of two clubs!

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

I'll add that there's only one well run club in Sydney. The Roosters. Fans of the other Sydney clubs want to shift them to Adelaide because they're jealous of their success. There are clubs In Sydney that do a good job of running junior teams but will never be strong in the NRL because the regions they represent don't have enough capital and people. They're the ones who should relocate interstate or drop back to NSW Cup.

You know parramatta is in constant use & allinez will be the same

Nice way of missing the point.

The fact remains that 7 out of Sydney's 9 clubs will be playing the bulk of their games out of second rate stadia.

We didn't need to sacrifice the GF just so A-League and ARU could reap the benefits of having new stadia for Western Sydney Wanderers, Sydney FC, NSW Waratahs and Australia Wallabies.

 

[Perth Red]

NSW govt did their bit, just our clubs are too dumb to benefit from it. We’re a small minded sport run by small minded people who think 12k in a suburban dump is ok for 21st century billion $ sport. It’s quite amazing really that the game has managed to get to where it has.
