Shift to NZ 2.
Perth is a waste of time right now.
You get 2 NZ teams and the NZ government will get behind it.

"Brisbane's sprawling west all the way from Ipswich to Rockhampton" WTF?

A Victorian wrote this didn't they?

PVL is a dickhead. Way to ruin the WA Bears bid.

Storm is bigger than Collington.

Andrew Webster

Was he high?

Pvl probably didn’t give him free tickets to the races at Randwick today

A few days before he was saying Perth was a waste of time and the nrl should focus on Ipswich and chch

Would you say AFL fans have less complaints about the product on the field than RL fans? Like, is AFL seen as more the same game as it was in the 80s than RL is? Or has it also become too structured? I reckon almost every RL fan would agree they would like less structure and a lot more "heads-up" football in RL - like the 80s and 90s.

I think this is true of a lot of fans of almost every sport. Everyone wants the game back the way it was, with less meddling with the rules.

There were probably people saying limited tackle was stupid and they should go back to unlimited tackle rule.

The one yard ruck rule? Pah, humbug who wanted that?

Hell, we should go back to 15 a side and allow marks when fielding a kick on the full like back in the good old days of 1908 in Australian rugby league

Six agains are an absolute lottery. No scrutiny on the refs about them so they just seem to pull them out on a whim.

This comment aged well

So you approve of the PVL bashing ,,,,do you also approve of the part about dropping Perth and moving instead with Western Brisbane to combat the AFL push ?

What exactly is the AFL doing in Western Brisbane that needed combatting?

I dunno - ask Andrew Webster … he says the region is “under attack “ from the AFL… although he might just be quoting the QRL Chariman who is looking for a new team in the NRL

This article just goes off the rails once it starts talking about AFL's push into West Brisbane and Rockhampton lol
I'm sure the NRL is in panic mode at the thought of AFL pushing into Rockhampton.

Ipswich is the new Campbelltown. I keep hearing about being this future city and so I’ll look it up on google maps and it’s a couple of streets on a river.

yeah it's just Brisbane's version of Campbelltown or Penrith. Old mining town, some amazing old houses but AFL is no threat there.

Tens of thousands of more units planned plus new retail and commercial centres

Whether the demographic is rugby league different question

RL needs to drop the "working/dero class only" tag it seems to be proud of.
