Rumours and Stuff

[Jake the snake]

In all fairness you don’t have to have a clue to be a first grade coach either.

These days they’ll give you 10 year stints for winning spoons.

I thought he was quiet ... didnt have any significant impact.

Hearing Bears have officially made their submission to be the 18th team from the papers and I can’t help but question where are another 30 first grade players coming from? We can’t even final a first grade centre there available?

Needs to be another 10 years before a team is introduced unless they want to dramatically lower the standard of competition.

The NRL don’t care about it being competitive, they just want the extra money the extra games an 18th team creates will bring in.

Yes because there aren't teams that have been shit already for 10 years...Must have been all those new teams..

Fins came in and we're already better than Dogs and Tigers both which were not affected by the fins recruitment.

You can throw as many first graders together you are not going to be competitive unless you have good coaching staff and "resources"

There are existing clubs in the comp who would never be given a franchise if they were applying today.

What Sydney clubs wouldn't get a franchise if they applied today you reckon.

Who knew Sivo could run?

Surely not?

Sure is. Thats why I posted it.

I'm thinking the Tigers and Dragons.

 

[emjaycee]

I'm thinking the Tigers and Dragons.

Tigers would based on their catchment (performance needs to be ignored for the purpose of this exercise).

Only one of St George/Illawarra and Cronulla would get in I reckon.

 

[King-Gutho94]

I'm thinking the Tigers and Dragons.

I think Bulldogs as well tbh. Like if they didn't have 90 years of history behind them.

What incentive these days would there be to put a team in Belmore from scratch.

 

[Gherkin]

I don't think the tigers would get in in their current form. Only if they were permanently based out of Campbelltown, which if they had any sense they would start shifting towards anyway

With the tiger COE at Concord I doubt that will be happening anytime soon.
