WA BEARS

[Colk]

How many players have storm produced since coming in... That's a plastic club

Go and tell their massive supporter base that they follow a plastic club then.

What about the Roosters - they don’t produce many players at all. Are they a plastic club?

Or is it also location based? I’m assuming that because I follow the Raiders, I’m also following a plastic club. Just guessing because they are not based in Sydney

Na

nah panthers, Cronulla, wests tigers, dragons, all plastic clubs as they weren’t founding clubs of the game. Kick them out for some proper clubs i say. Some of the WA clubs are older than some Sydney nrl clubs lol

When Perth is like Panthers & biggest rugby league nursery in world then OK get admitted

Because a city the size of Brisbane can support 2 clubs and having an alternative to the Broncos was a good call as they are a polarising team for many reasons. That was the basis of the Brisbane 2 idea. So why do we need to already be thinking of an alternative to the alternative?

Doesn’t mean we should just keep adding teams because the population is booming and we end up with 5 teams averaging 10-15k. The aim should be 3 or at max 4 SEQteams including GC, all averaging easily 20k+.

Brisbane’s population has grown by a million plus since 95.

in that time the broncos crowds are down almost thirty percent and we lost the 15k the crushers got

broncos crowds now are largely static and have been for 15 years or so.

four clubs for a city of potentially five million is nothing like Sydney which averages around 650k pop per club

It’s also avg’s 14k. The point is it’s better to have two clubs avg 30k than 4 clubs avg’ing 15!

Cause derbies & history are interesting, rather then watching plastic clubs with no real fans & devoid of local players..

Do tell us about the (non-plastic) history and all the classic derbies of Broncos Vs Dolphins.

Ironic, bears will field entirely non local team for it's existence

 

[Wb1234]

Off topic but the arlc should’ve brought in easts back in 1988 instead of the broncos.

Storm get ratings in qld. In Melbourne maybe fans don't own TV's?!

There you go again stating opinion as fact.

These are Sydney folk we are talking to. They think over saturation of clubs that then avg 14k is the model lol

As opposed to hull folk who think two clubs for a city of 200k and averaging 8k and 10k is perfectly ok ?

lmao

Dolphins first top level club for Artie Beetson. Pirates still are concept being pitched to unnamed potential backers..

Well if you add them together and times 3 for the population size of most Sydney nrl clubs you’re at 54k lol. per head of population the number of people attending RL games in hull psses over pretty much every Sydney nrl club.
