here it is, a thread to discuss team 20 as it's almost certain that team 18 is Perth and 19 is PNG..
NZ Orcas, or whoever teams up with Frank Endicotts SI bid, I don't see the arlc going back to the SEQ well so soon, maybe it will be team 21, if we want to further stretch the competition, and with conferences or pools we probably can have 24 teams max and can see everyone play each other once and switch it the following season, or more likely they pool the teams to boost the derby games (ensuring more qld games H/A vs each other for example)
The comp would be very diluted depending how quick they would get to that many teams it would probably be another 2 decades away tho
As for 20th has to be NZ2, there are no other viable bidders, maybe Fiji (with the same govt stooges pushing png at the moment)
Side note..Crystal ball says as soon as govt funding is finished in PNG (a decade later), that same funding will switch to prop up Fiji
