Its a shame Ch9 or even the Sunday Roast don't show this on fta. It would do wonders for your bid. At least its on youtube so its a start.

As you said, I think its the best rugby league show on Fox.

[Perth Red]

Players favour Perth Inclusion
It was a different story for boom capital Perth however, with the overwhelming majority of almost 44 per cent of players declaring if the game was to expand it must be into a new state.

''I can't really see the point of expansion if we're just putting teams into areas where there's already rugby league,'' one player said. Another added: ''If we want to actually grow the game, then it would have to be in Western Australia for sure.''

On Perth, cult Manly figure George Rose said a team in Western Australia was an obvious choice.

''I think it's a good number at the moment, the competition, but if we have to go somewhere I reckon Perth,'' he said.

''If they want to throw a team in at Perth, I'd love to travel over there.''

It's funny in the media now, most people are resigned to saying that WA and another QLD team will be in next. Not sure which QLD team but if the Bears get overlooked I hope it's Ipswich and not Brisbane.

You seem to have picked all the bits you liked about the article but missed the overall message. The majority of players don't want expansion. Of course, they are hardly unbiased though...

 

[Perth Red]

hence the title, I didn't say they wanted expansion!

 

[Noa]

I know I consult the players before I do anything.

 

[BuffaloRules]

The players need to understand that more teams = more TV rights...

 

[Randy_Marsh]

Havin teh western red readmittd 2 teh nrl competishun will brin teh gud things 2 teh competishun as rugby league will be moar widely promotd acros teh australia jus liek teh afl an rugby union.

 

[Noa]

The fact it intentionally takes you twice as long to type that shit highlights what a sad tool you are

 

[Randy_Marsh]

It not nice 2 call hooman teh tool cuz it hurts their feelings!

 

[juro]

hence the title, I didn't say they wanted expansion!

Which title was that? The first line of your post was "Players favour Perth Inclusion".

 

[Perth Red]

which is what the article says. IF there is inclusion players voted Perth as their favoured choice.

 

[juro]

Yes, the quotes were from the article, but the main thrust of the article was that the players don't want expansion. The title of the article was actually "League players slam the door on expansion plans for NRL", which is very different to "Players favour Perth Inclusion".

 

[Randy_Marsh]

Teh players wud obviously favour teh inclushun ov teh perth team cuz it will mak teh moar opportunitiez 4 players 2 pulay in da nrl competishun.

Actually if you read the article you will see that the majority of players favoured or were neutral about expansion (60%). Only 40% were against expanding so hardly a crushing blow is it? Still back to the point, the biggest support for a team from the players was perth which is good news for us as we seek to lure players over for our first season!

 

[Randy_Marsh]

I support teh perth redz 2 rejoin teh nrl competishun.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

I support teh perth redz 2 rejoin teh nrl competishun.

Yet another fatal blow to the Bears' bid!

 

[Brutus]

Havin teh western red readmittd 2 teh nrl competishun will brin teh gud things 2 teh competishun as rugby league will be moar widely promotd acros teh australia jus liek teh afl an rugby union.
