Team 20 - Who? Adelaide or Queensland 5?

[SirPies&Beers]

i didn't say you started this thread i said you started the other thread which copies this one. which you did start.

are you ok this morning? you hung over or something, youre operating extremely slowly. or does your ego just hurt and not like to be called out when youre acting like a dummy?

its ok greens you can have a rough day it happens to the best of us. can you inform us lesser smart people when you expect your adelaide greens to formally bid for the 21st spot? will you try get kerrod walters and mark corvo out of retirement for one final run?

Looking back and forward, it's all pretty obvious what the NRL want.

17 was always Redcliffe
18 PNG
19 Perth
20 NZ SI
21 Ipswich

After that who knows, but Adelaide, Melbourne 2, Fiji and Wellington will probably put their hand up.

If we can make it happen Adelaide should be next. Otherwise I mostly agree with that list. I’m not fully convinced that Ipswich needs a team though.

Perth couldn't find one decent bid.

ipswich is a big rugby league area i think they'll support a new localised nrl club regardless of if they already support another seqld club.

wonder if they have the dollars there thats probably only question.

They don't, only promises from the local mayor, who is in cahoots with the AFL for investment in Springfield area also, she says she'll fund upgrades to all sorts of stuff for the Western Corridor bid, or whatever they are going by these days, but is also feeding the same dribble to AFL

I didn't start the thread numbnuts!!

I never said you did, but someone asked if there an "actual live bid", and you let loose on the topic thread title suggesting that there is a bidder.... there isnt

If Sydney can have 9 teams then SEQ can have 4

Moving the tigers is a really bad idea, Macarthur region is exploding with population. Dragons making a full move to Illawarra makes more sense, or Manly/Roosters putting more effort into Central Coast.

What about Souths ?

Nobody is moving to Gosford or Wollongong. Money & sponsorship is in Sydney.

Team 21 will be south west Brisbane jets

That leaves Adelaide or Wellington for team 22

Depends how successful Perth are and how the storm are going in ten years time

West Brisbane for 21 and Adelaide for 22 and we good for the next decade.

Fair point, and there's a number of factors that'd make that decision between Adelaide & NZ3 (likely Wellington) for team 22 - the NRL's risk appetite,& how much local bids/Governments are keen to chip-in being top of that list I imagine.

 

[nm.wt.21]

Surely after 20 they look to make a proper second tier

Wellington and Fiji for 23 & 24 then close up shop

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Greenland Gorillas team 25.

Then shut up shop.

This!

If PVL is ARLC CEO long term the only way we'd get a team down here is with our state government's backing.

If PVL approached Poolside Pete about our government backing a consortium he'd be all over it.

We still have issues of where to base an Adelaide team for the reasons I stated elsewhere in the thread.

Isn't Gosford/Central Coast considered part of Sydney these days hence why the Titties got in over the CC Bears and now 17 years later the Bears are trying to get back in as a Perth team?
