The mad man seems to have done it where everybody else failed. Yet people who've posted here for decades, through years of inaction, have so much hate for the great man. Great period for NRL.

i think we wait until west aussie bears are officially in and wrapped in a bow before celebrating just yet.

i only say this because yes v'landys is amazing at his job but west aussie and bears are the two entities which have been pushing for inclusion the loudest and longest really plus have the most people putting genuine emotion into it.

once the west aussie bears are in thats a wrap. whoever team 20 is i don't think matters as much even though i believe and want it to be south island nz.

You're right, we'll have to wait to find out.
Regardless, after titans were announced in 2004 our leaders have sat on their hands. Every year they promised a review of expansion that never arrived. Things happening now. Wonder how cricket will go with Todd Greenberg lol?!

Seriously can’t believe the ARLC has secured 658 million AUD in funding for this club and Rugby League development in the region. Unbelievable.

Gives confidence that wherever the other teams will be located, the game will get the best deal possible. Not to mention the upcoming NRL Media Rights deal that some on here are cheerleading for the game to fail at.

I’ve been trying to get the twats to put a figure on what the tv deal will be and they won’t bc they don’t want to be reminded later

And png is 730 million if you are including the png money plus more to come via stadium

They are spending 72 million AUD on the stadium?

The png announcement was poorly worded

It was 300 million in spending over four years plus 100 million upfront

One article said this will include the players compound and a centre of excellence at the ground

No tax on salaries is also another thing that could be worth 5 million pa for however long that lasts

I bet the stadium goes to 25k too with better corporate facilities that should cost at least 100 million

Lot of pessimism in that TV thread ….

Im finding it a little hard to believe that the NRL have decided to expand with 3 new teams at this time ..and they are only going to end up with inflation increases only or 10 percent or something on the new TV money deal …

I suspect they have a plan for the rights …. and it goes beyond Channel 9 and Fox this time …

Also hard to believe they are pushing for 4 expansion teams in a short period of time if they didn’t have expert inside word of what that may be worth and wether or not the market can accommodate that.
