Team 20: This one's for the peanut gallery

[AlwaysGreen]

Seeing our dimwits can't get passed a thread title without having a panic attack here it is, a thread to discuss team 20 as it's almost certain that team 18 is Perth and 19 is PNG.

Non peanut gallery members are also free to post although you're not specified in the thread title.

Just because something should be next doesn’t mean it is. Hence you discuss it.

Welcome to the gallery Sir Peanut.

You're trying to start an argument but you haven't got any of the tools required.
My advice to you is stick to your lane, that is with training wheels, on a tricycle with a very big padded helmet.

And stop asking questions I am not your parents or school teacher. If you want to ask questions try a career in journalism or as a game show host.

hey you made a thread where one exists already. we know there's 3 prime and ready locations with prime and ready bids that look likely to enter at this stage however none are actually confirmed to even be 18th or 19th or 20th.

don't get upset because you didn't think it through greens, please go have your 5th redbull and 12th dart for the morning and try sharpen up.

I made a thread for dimwits like you who can't get past the mention of Adelaide in the other thread. And who thought I started that thread.

And humour isn't your thing, I'm not sure what your thing is, apart from being very annoying, but your about as funny as shaving with a broken jar.

hey you made a thread which is this one, it didn't work because one already exists. you tried to be funny and call people dim wits yet you've just come across as the biggest dim wit of the bunch.

similar to the aussie top order you just haven't got off to a great start here. please step up your game greens, we expect premium content from a premium poster. anything short of that is matt orford at the raiders levels of disappointment.

Yeah. Nah. Try again.
Actually don't bother.

 

[Billythekid]

It surely has to be NZ2. Personally I think that will already be too far away. RL is seeing a surge in popularity in Australia and NZ and we’re really chipping away at union. A second NZ could be a game changer.

I’m not even sure who’d I’d even consider competition for that spot. The other potential expansions to me are Brisbane 3, Adelaide, Melbourne 2 and the Central coast but they’re all WAY lower down the tree than a second NZ side.

nah. yeah. ill leave you with trying again greens. make better posts because we the people should expect nothing less from the chief expansion expert on here.

This thread is going a treat.

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

NZ2 Christchurch it's easy. Thread can be closed.

Interesting observation.. if/when PNG's funding ends, I've guessed in the past that the team would be replaced by another SE-Qld team, because that's an easy one to set-up.

However if the NRL is keen to keep that team doing something outside Aus/NZ, then Fiji is a logical relocation given they have the next biggest population, and would logistically be less challenging than PNG.

The team won't pack up, it's here for good, once the png team has its roots imbeded after that 10 year period, it will have the sponsors and its own revenue stream to do what the other clubs do, their won't be any "replacements" I was saying the government spending would shift to Fiji, not the team

 

[AlwaysGreen]

PNG merger with Parramatta and Penrith.

 

[Gobsmacked]

How did PNG get locked into team 19 before clean drinking water and education?
And Perth is a lock for 18 after a formal rejection?

The place with the most bids ( 3) that are all still in play.. with a brand new stadium, separate TV revenue, the most talent by far.. with hundreds of millions to back up their bid'(s!) not only misses out on team 18 or 19 but 20..!

Behold, the peanut award goes to....

Your stadiums not even build yet, and they've already outlined they want both Perth and Png

Interesting from news.com (the peanut gallery's masthead):

https://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/text-message-exposes-plot-to-wipe-tigers-from-nrl-history/news-story/f5fff0ea809bca811642cf5f038f30fe

Probably nothing in it but it does free up the Tigers name for Easts/Brisbane Tigers.
