More than that. The NSW and Qld regional markets are ignored in this argument (which is an argument that has caused the AFL much grief). This is a market much larger than Perth AND has an interest in NRL. Perth is the 4th largest market only if you ignore country Australia and the sub markets in the big cities
See @Colk he gets it

So if Perth get an nrl team they can never get a game after 530

tv is going to really want them

Huh? So a two hour time difference for a Kiwi side is a plus but a two hour difference for a Perth side is a negative. Interesting logic

I’ll explain it to you

They wouldn’t play on a Saturday in Perth they would probably play the Sunday 6pm EST (which is 3-4pm over there) that is a graveyard shift for every other side. It’s essentially the same principle as the Friday 6pm which is perfect for NZ but not good for anybody else.

And saves other teams from having to play at 6pm game on Sunday night. Win win

Time difference works in nz favour in the same way it’s against Perth

we already have teams who can play Sunday 6 pm

like I said Perth add nothing

Perth isn't going to get a team. PNG, jets & nz2

You have come back from the future again! Welcome back

By the way Nostradamus I thought the next side was going to be another Brisbane side. You’ve dropped that pretty quickly.

You want to enter the debate do you? Still waiting on that other competition that ignores big metro markets.
That would be AFL which ignores Auckland, Newcastle, Wollongong, Canberra and Townsville.
Unlike the desert states, the NRL zone has major cities outside their capitals

Eh? Perth will play predominantly in the new sunday 6pm east slot. 3pm or 4pm perth time. Perfect for fans.
we could also play the Saturday time slots.

Time difference makes no difference.. i don't see why it matters a 9th game will play wherever it plays, its not like theres 2 perth teams so a selected timeslot can be in perth every week

90% of media advertising spend is in metro markets.
