No other area in the NRL rates higher or attracts more sponsorship dollars than Sydney
The more matches we can provide the better, And in the 5 major cities is better still.
Sky might be paying us $20m a year but 9/Fox pay us $360m a year.
Any expansion is not dependant on gate takings nor the popularity of a club!
Incorrect, Brisbane is the highest rating club in the NRL.
Sky pay $20m largely because of one club's existence. The $360m that Fox pay is to show games of all 16 clubs throughout the season, big difference.
Your third point is correct, expansion most likely will be determined by financial viability first and then by strategic team placings second. If the NRL slate was wiped clean today and everyone had to prove themsleves based on these categories, there would be some Sydney clubs in strife - the Gold Coast possibly would be too to be fair.
