PNG's back.

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

Desert states I like that

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.

We already have teams that can play it

we don’t need a Perth team for that

a wet fart in tv by someone in the eastern states is worth more than a Perth nrl team

 

[Wb1234]

Anyway, while this is an interesting but interminable argument, it is probably irrelevant. V’Landys statement suggests the fix is in. The next team will be PNG

If the next team is png and Perth get totally brushed it would be like Christmas and birthday rolled up together

it would give me years of lols on this forum

 

[Wb1234]

That's just ur ill informed take. To think 6k watching in Perth will make up 150 million is pretty dumb

Hahhahahaha

each viewer is worth 25,000
Dollars each

FIFA could make it easy for India & China to make world cup. In 2022 almost half the qualification spots were from Europe. Why was that?! I'll answer that because you'll struggle with any question you can't answer with term Perth..because FIFA makes more money from European fans.
India & China immensely bigger markets but soccer not as lucrative so fifa ignores them for Europe.
Perth not lucrative to NRL. Simples

Just to let you know just in case news travels slow they have increased the teams from 32 to 48.

Hang on that contradicts your point doesn’t it? Whoops sorry about that.

 

[Pneuma]

All jokes aside, and there have been many, I can’t imagine how a Perth or PNG team would be ready by 2025. There isn’t enough time.

 

[Perth Red]

Then why is there a bris2 & no Perth?!

Not because tv paid for it.
It was the easiest and safest option for nrl. And nrl likes easy options.

Why did they expand then?!

You sure

dolphins are killing it lol

even if it’s rushed a png nrl team is the biggest thing to happen to the nrl since 1995 when we added genuine expansion teams

Yeah, I don't see problem if club has good financial base

 

[Perth Red]

Why did they expand then?!

Because it’s twenty years overdue! Sad reality is due to years of sht management nrl didn’t have the revenue to expand into new markets so went for the safest option that didnt need investment. That’s what happens when you earn $300mill less than you Could have done. The fact we didn’t go straight to. 18 to have the ninth game to sell is indicative of the position we are in.

Hey I might be wrong but I reckon png is a dead cert now but it has to be done right. It’s just the timing.

For what it can do for png and the nrl I really hope so

looks like behind the scenes the arlc is working out where they want to expand too

finally leadership that acts instead of talking bs

Has Vlandys suggested this today? Someone mentioned a radio interview earlier.
