THE IDEAL NUMBER OF TEAMS IN THE NRL.

[Colk]

At most 16 teams but ideally you go back to 12.

 

[Perth Red]

If we could have 14-16 teams playing and filling 35-50k stadiums every week that would be ideal. As it is we are going for a more the merrier small clubs model.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

92 teams, 17 divisions, 6.9 conferences, 3 rounds, 81 byes.

 

[Colk]

4 teams playing each other six times.

How many teams is not the first question that should be asked.
The first one is how many Sydney teams, then you can work out your answer

Well how many is too many? You could say a few will fall back but they are not the only ones. You could say a few regional teams should go because they are no chance of winning a comp.

What do you think is the right number of teams to compete in the nrl.

Me personally i'd love to see 12 eventually with each team playing everyone twice.

Watcha reckon?

54

Lucky too. Otherwise Perth wouldn’t get in.
