He is right tho, whats easier for the NRL to implement? A side in NZ, with its own juniors, or a WA team that will need 5 years of growth before any local WA talent sprouts from within... but in those 5 years the other 17 clubs lose players to the perth team, 30 if there's no club there and starting from scratch, and then it will probably happen 1-2times over in the space of that 5 seasons
Juniors … nz wins
Oh no. 17 clubs aren’t going to be able to access 30 players? Oh the poor darlings. That’s less than 1.8 players each. Goodness me. What a catastrophe. And what’s worse they are going to have to catch aeroplanes to Perth to play. This is insidious. I love this forum. It’s hilarious. Every comment here by naysayers lays bare why the game is so far behind its main competitor.
Captain Derp strikes again!
And by that graph its is clear that the extroplation algorithm has a issue when compairing different metro areas
Im not against a perth team, just sayin, whats easier for the NRL to implement, what will give them instant success, regarding increasing the player pool, and btw your sounding a lot like PR these days, your posts have never been this negative, especially after reading the affiliated states story you posted...
They probably are/were prior to covid, or tried to with Gus helping setup up Aucklands pathways, whether or not they are no.18, its inevitable that nz gets a 2nd side, aswell as perth getring a team, its just about where else are we keen on to branch out to
To be frank I really don’t care what any of you think. My view is simple. Keep all current clubs unless they fall or choose a new market to exist. The former is highly unlikely the latter less so. Create new markets and grow the game. I’d choose Perth first but nz wouldn’t worry me. That’s pretty much it. Interestingly my posts seem only to upset posters from Sydney who refuse to consider Perth an option. They pretend otherwise but it’s obviously bullshit. WB is the worst. In the meantime I DGAF what you think. As for my Tassie experience, I’m a great listener. For years id wondered why the game had stuck to such a limited market. Three NRL meetings in Sydney and it all became clear.
Player pool in NZ is in decline. We’ve got some hard work to do over there.
A side that generates most revenue for nrl, has a rich state govt backing and is financially sustainable with a decent sized fanbase and a decent stadium from day1.
So Melbourne produce more juniors than Townsville ?
It’s almost like some people think that Australian nrl clubs will stop scouting and being an attractive choice or nz jnrs if a second team comes in lol. It’s not like the warriors have shown that to be the case is it?
Interestingly the Townsville comp is not as big a as you obviously assume.
NQ producing juniors predates the Cowboys by about 90 years.
ok cool so small towns which are into rugby league will produce more players than large cities which like afl
