South Pacific Rugby League (SPRL)

The NRL is no longer an appropriate name for our comp. We consist of teams from two countries, not one. The name is too Australia centric. My proposal is to rename the comp and to rebuild it into a truly South Pacific Competition. I’m proposing three new teams: PNG NZ2 Perth or Brisbane 3 With...

This is how I see it works. Brilliant huh?

I think the indications are for NZ2 and PNG/Pacifica, providing the Commonwealth pays for it.

The real advantage of this is that Commonwealth funding of an NRL Team would cause a mass explosion of the heads of fumbleballers. Parity through a Nauruan team would be demanded

Just think about it, what you are saying is that todays govt can dictate what a different party govt in ten years times policy and public spending budget is if they just signed long term contracts. It’s literally not how politics works!

Only way the funding could be guaranteed beyond the life of this govt would be to pay it up front, but govt’s don’t don’t that either. So nrl takes the risk that a govt change sees funding changed. one of the reasons I doubt it will ever happen.

Contract will address that

This is the point. Too many drop kicks here (two in particular) think we have to chase the fumblers to become number 1. Bugger that. We need to play to our strengths not try to copy theirs. Making our game truly regional is a brilliant strategy. We can do it, and they can’t. And the investment will bring a huge return over time.

I think you can do both to be honest.

Yep but the regional approach will drive them up the wall. They’ve already tried and failed. They got laughed out of New Zealand. Their sport is shite.

True. We should try and get as close to them on a national front and then use the international thing to put the game over the top of theirs.

I’ve always wanted three teams based in NZ with a Perth side. You can put this Pacific side in NZ and put a South Island team down the track.

The benefit of these four teams is gives you the most flexibility with TV scheduling. You essentially get to the situation where you can expand without having to simulcast.

Wow I wonder if the internet is still working in Perth ?

You’re an idiot, govt’s don’t sign twenty year, even ten year, contracts EVER. Lucky to get anything over four years.
Never happens, I know I work for a govt funded organisation. Dreaming If you think this govt can commit the next twenty years of govt to funding this project.

Hey did you see the posts above

governments are liable for breach of contract you big dope

Contract will address that

Govts dont sign contracts longer than a few years, ever.

Which is why they don’t sign contracts of any great length. Rarely longer than the term of their govt that’s left.

 

[Wb1234]

An incumbent govt can not legally commit a future govt to its policies.

only way it could guarantee future funding would be to pay it up front.

Here’s the bs you posted

 

[Wb1234]

That’s not how politics works. Legally a govt can’t sign a contract that incumbers a future govt to its policies, especially for 20 years!

More bs

tell the operators with 60 year leases

 

[Pneuma]

More bs

It’s because he’s an afl fan with an agenda?

 

[Perth Red]

Here’s the bs you posted

Which is true. Otherwise incoming govts would be forced to deliver previous govt policies lol I don’t think you understand politics

 

[Perth Red]

Who?

 

[DIOGENES]

Isn’t the Commonwealth about to sign a contract for nuclear Submarines that is deliverable in the 2040s?
Of course they had a similar contract with France that they abrogated when a better deal came along. The damage was close to $5 B for the inconvenience of the French, although no real work had been done

Yep the deal got dropped, my point exactly! Govts change, policies change, deals get scrapped.
