Sustaining&building upon current NRL boom

But will Logan get team? lol

You said the word

Mugab hitting them out of the park

as long as pvl remains in power the nrl will keep growing

Exactly, why would he leave, or why would they get someone else to chair, he keeps making them money, seems like a no brainer, I don't think anybody doing this job, has ever gotten all these clubs rich, (other than the bronx) yes they've been some good administrators, but as far as chairmen, none has put processes in place to keep clubs away from into minuses (as they always seemed to, again barr bronx)

Top priority must be for both the knights and warriors to get stadium expansion to 35k.

More dragons games played at Wollongong too.

With talk of a 19 round 20 team competition could and would the NRL introduce a 20th round to be played entirely overseas like in say London?

10 games over 2 days at say Wembley or spurs would be a hard stretch but I’m sure there would be ways around it like 2 games on the Friday and 3 each on Saturday and Sunday.

or even split it over 2 venues and cities like London and Manchester giving the hardcore northern fans to see the best RL players on the planet in the flesh.

Doubt they’d ever go for a whole round overseas let alone in the UK with shit time zones for Australian audience.

A game the same weekend as Vegas, week after WCC could be doable though.

In 1995 rugby league was stronger and had more momentum

20 teams takes us back to where we were 30 years ago. 3 decades where we basically did nothing

the big growth is in the pacific for the game. Ultimately 24 teams including fiji and maybe 4 nz teams

That could happen, all depends on the growth in junior RL in both PNG, Fiji and all over NZ (not just Auckland)

The NRL should have wrapped up the pacific decades ago. Especially Fiji.

Super league war

game was defending itself from union and afl in Australia

At times the game is its own worst enemy.

I can’t honestly see the NRL taking over Fiji what with the Fijian union national team getting stronger and the Drua competing in super rugby.

With an nrl team they will but that’s a long way down the track

In the UK?

Yehp. 2 NRL teams go over. Premiers play WCC, other clubs plays one of the big English/French clubs. Week later, same weekend as Vegas the 2 NRL clubs play in London, Manchester or wherever, probably with a SL game as a double header.
