cough, Brett Stewartx2, cough. Amongst many many false stories.
I wouldnt believe anything that came out of a news ltd journos mouth/pen.
When I saw the 100 million figure I was giggling saying Perth red and his dopey mates will use that figure now bc it suits their purposes

too predictable

No-one knows what the govt is offering. Its not $600mill, or close to it, its not $100mill, needs to be more if it is to be viable for NRL. WB latched onto the journos BS $600mill like a leech onto a warm body as it justified his position, nothing new there.

Doubt it, all signs are no new club until 2027 at earliest.

They werent, until Albo got his cheque book out. If a clubs sole viability is based on Govt flashing cash in a short term deal it still shouldnt be.

Smart operators realise a good opportunity and adjust as pvl has done work the federal money

60 million pa is close to double the super league tv deal and that helps fund 12 clubs

"It is very crucial for funding support … we have very strong support from business houses so they will step in and eventually take over and replace that government support so it will be sustainable going forward," Mr Sonk said.

If all these businesses so strongly support it, and want to fund the team, why are they waiting 10 years to do so? Surely they'd want to put up money to get it across the line?

Until I see a PNG officially announced and better yet actually running out on the pitch I maintain it’s little more than a pipe dream. I don’t think it’s impossible and I’m not saying never but if a PNG team gets in the comp in the next 10 years it’ll be a miracle and a huge gamble by the NRL.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they do to be fair.

Maybe they are saving up their money.

Thank you for the deathriding you’ve got png over the line

a bit more deathriding for nz2 please so they overtake Perth

He's bagged Dolphins to the point they're the second largest club in the world

The amount of shit he's thrown at the Brisbane Tigers means it's only a matter of time until they get a licence.

NZ2 will get in thanks to Perth Red heaping shit on them.

As long as its not Brisbane3 its ok by me. I'll just keep my fingers crossed they can somehow pull it off and make it work long term. Like I've said as long as club 18-20 arent another Qlnd or NSw club then Im a happy man.
I don't give a f**k what you want. You're just a hypocritical whinger with an entitlement complex.

Only a simpleton would be against Brisbane 3 and an advocate for a team In Perth. Perth is behind Brisbane 3 ov every metric that counts.. The only reason you want a team in Perth Is because you live there.

To be frank, an Englishman has no business telling Queenslanders and New South Welshmen how to run a game that is based out of Queensland and NSW. Go worry about the RFL's problems and quit telling Australians how to run a competition that's light years ahead of the Soapdodger League.
