How does forcing a bid to pay a $20m licence fee help a team survive on its own. You are placing any bid at a bigger risk of failure.

A bank guarantee that they will eventually get back does that. Forcing them to pay a fee that will likely take them a decade to see a return on does not.
By god you are a sanctimonious boring old turd. Back to four corners where you can wank off with your boring mates. Off you go.

And some people just defend the NRL no matter what they do and make pretty stupid posts defending the indefensible.

If what you're saying is the reason for the licence fee, why didn't the Dolphins need to pay one? Why do Perth need $30m plus the $20m? Why do they need to pay a fee to prove they can survive on their own (which is what you said in the previous post), if you are now saying they couldn't survive on that fee?
The thread was better when you just pissed off and left it alone you turgid turd.

Again .. which never actually happened …i keep telling you this and have for 20 years

they joined Super League before they actually played in the competition …. Were they still paying the travel costs on behalf of Super League ?
Western Reds kicked off in Round 1 on 12th March 1995. SuperLeague started their raids in the middle of the night on 1st April.

The whole forum is better off every time you leave.
Let’s face it mate. You don’t come onto the main forum until you see a chance to lecture everyone else with your sense of superiority. That’s why you should stay on four corners with your pathetic little lefty anti semitic bunch of know alls. Off you go.

More questions that have already been addressed multiple times.
The NRL in the end is a business. Businesses change structure and evolve constantly, that's how they grow.
The timing and placing of the Dolphins is different to now and has absolutely nothing to do with this bid.
The owners can ask whatever they deem right for someone to buy into the company.
One year it might be $10k, the next year they may value it at $70k, after that $120k etc. It could even drop in price.
The NRL obviously didn't like the $0 value that the Cumins bid gave, and treated it as such.
Again, a stupid decision by the bid.

Now please stop trying to hop onto the party train that was 40 pages ago. It's all been said, you were late to it.
If you can't see that the bid has done damage to itself then that's for you to work out to as the why. Some can see it very easily.

So in other words, you and the NRL are making it up as you go along. Notice how none of the bids have agreed to pay the $20m? Because it's a horrible business decision. The Perth bid was stupid putting $0, but this has blown up in Vlandys face as well.

No smart business person is ever going to pay a $20m fee knowing that it can just be waived for someone else whenever the NRL feels like it.

You think News Ltd just woke up and said one day ….”let’s start Super League?”

they didn’t “start the raid” that day …that’s when it was made public on April 1st 1995

Some teams had already been in talks with News Ltd and had agreed to join them ..this included the Reds …and they had been dealing with News Ltd months prior to that…long before they had ever kicked a ball on the field and presumably long before they were supposed to have gone broke paying airfares

Im going to give you a hint on how to discuss a topic without coming across as immature and lowbrow.
Never try and build your stance by trying to create a narrative by using "So in your words". They aren't my words, they are yours.
You automatically lose credibility right there, but then go onto say:


No smart business person is ever going to pay a $20m fee knowing that it can just be waived for someone else whenever the NRL feels like it.
When it is well known that the PNG bid has in fact agreed to pay $60M. Don't now come in and blah, blah about the Aust Govt, this isn't about them.
The facts are that a bid most certainly did come to the party, and neither you or I know what other bids have been referred to paying, so why bring up another non-entity?
Again it makes you look immature and lowbrow.

No smart business person is ever going to pay a $20m fee knowing that it can just be waived for someone else whenever the NRL feels like it.
There again, you have no idea what the price tag is for other bids, in fact the only one you know of is PNG paying $60M.
The NRL doesn't put a fee on "feel", what kind of business practice does that?
Again, your words trying to create a narrative that really doesn't exist, all just to try and move the conversation into an "argument" for the sake of it.
Might be time for you to get out of the teenage/social media way of posting and start to think before you write.
