Voices in your head don’t count as sources

you need to align your hopes and wishes with reality

tv broadcasters want another brisbane team

arlc seems to be swayed by the federal governments million

and if the warriors continue as is nz2 is another favourite
you can have a team, you can have a team, we can all have a team lol
seems you've got no idea who is favourite or even if there is a favourite right now, wow what a shock.

* in my opinion

You dont know what Albanese is offering, you dont know what the WA govt is offering, you dont know if there are any bidders at all in NZ, you dont know what the NRL really thinks about the Bears and you dont know what the NRLs strategic plan/vision for growth of the game is

Apart from what you dont know, your opinion sounds very factually based lol

If you ignore all the articles sure

Nostradamus get ready to look foolish yet again
I think you mean 'if you only read what you want to into some of the articles' lol

Ive shown you the last two official comments from ARLC members and both of them clearly show they havent yet made their minds up, doesnt even sound like they know when or how many let alone where.

“We haven’t put a time on it," he said during a recent interview on Triple M.
"It could be in 2025 or it could be in 2027 when the broadcast contract comes up for renewal.
“We’re going to look hard at the Dolphins situation to see what we have done right and what we have done wrong, and if there’s enough players to have that 18th team.”

"We have to always make sure we keep our heartland in our decision making. We won't rush decisions. We are ambitious, but we will make sure we do this sustainably and we do it in consultations with the clubs.
"We are going to look at all options, but as I have said in the past and as the chairman (V'landys) reiterated today, Pasifika is very strongly in our mind.
Jones said there was "no reason why in the future we can't have 20 teams".
"Our goal is to be a truly national competition and that means expansion," she said.

If you were going by all of the latest expansion talks Pasifika is the favourite atm, and then it is anybody with NZ2, Perth and whoever they have linked the Bears to in those articles lol.
V’Landys does seem reluctant towards Perth (which shocks me) but with the Bears he seems open to it.
Who knows, all of my information is from press articles and news reports, nothing more, nothing less.

So after they mentioned png and Brisbane they make a vague reference a National comp without even talking about Perth and that’s your only hope

Hahahaha

enjoy the trip to Florida whilst the league fans in Perth are attending the double header

The article says the wa govt approached vlandys about how they could get a team and he told them to link with the bears

which they couldn’t even manage to sort that out whilst they were favourites

Keep digging

it’s such a shame the people in power who make the decisions and the broadcasters who pay for it aren’t keen on a standalone team in Perth

Literally says png is very strongly in their minds

then says the goal is to have 20 teams and have a national competition

it’s plain English

Png does not have foxtel or kayo so how will they bring money into the Nrl. Plz explain how they make money for the clubs in Sydney. imagine Pasifika watching the Sharks at Sharkpark in front off 2000 people. Unsubstainable
