seriously ... you are a muppet
read what you said
Dropping teams in that aren't ready
ummm HELLO
Teams that will need money spent on them
ummmmm HEEEEELLLOOOOOOO
you may as well have been talking about the AFL instead of your lame @ssed attempt at having a dig at the NRL you wombat
maybe you should pull Andy Dimetrious d--K out of your mouth & talk some sense for once ;-)
you dont get it............have NFI.
they arent ready because they're not going to compete for a premiership this year? is this your reasoning?
you expect a team to be dropped in an expansion market and left to fend for themselves? is this your definition of ready too? the task of introducing a new club into a new market is a long-term process.
we've been aware for years of the AFL's concrete plans to introduce new teams. the case with the NRL is still speculative. there is risk in any new market expansion for any business in any industry. funding is required for any start-up and growth in a new market, it doesnt matter what you're selling. the AFL have completed a whole lot of lead-up work. they have approached it systematically in both cases, in an attempt to make it a success. they have sold their rights off the back of this.
in contrast, expecting the same windfall for a NRL half-arsed new market expansion project, within the uncertainty that the game still currently experiences? with a formation of an IC which is still maintaining the politiking that goes on in the current administration? f**king ludicrous!
mate, id love for rugby league to get there with it. it shouldve proactively worked towards it properly several years ago. but the BS in the game has held it back. simply putting together a reactionary & hastily-prepared project in time for the next rights and not doing the essential years of groundwork to ensure the success in the new market wont benefit the team or the game down the track.
Look at it objectively.
