Hey PR, ya have to give it to ya for your enthusiasm and dedication about expansion. You and donkey go hard.
Do you go outside now and then?

The difference is if Brisbane Tigers don't get in I've still got four Queensland NRL clubs plus the Queensland Cup. If Pirates don't get in then PR has no one.

Cowboys will always be my main team, regardless of whether the Brisbane Tigers get in.

I'm not fussed about it all. The game is getting bigger every day and expansion is soon to be announced.
If there was no team where I'm living I'd be telling my missus to start packing because we're off to live wherever I can see the tigers play.

I'm keen on seeing how PNG goes with the 18th licence.

I'll be watching their games.

Since he didn’t break Down the contra and is a known liar the only people I expect to believe him is afl fanatics

Lmao

contra isnt part of the cash dude and he very clearly stated the cash component was north of 4 billion.

And since he DOES have a track record of delivering on financials and media rights - more than any other sport in this country, Id believe him.

The one where govt grants are included as revenue and stadium revenue which doesn’t generate much profit ?

the new tv deal isn’t even reflected yet In the financials this is the backended tv deal they did previously

Youll also note that when I wrote 879m, I didnt say 944m whcih was the AFLs actual revenue including government grants.

Stadium revenue is included as a consolidated body. The NRL did the same when they owned the Titans and Knights.

Ive spent 13 years looking at the financials of most Australian sports. Which is probably more than anyone except maybe Hunter Fujak.

It's amazing that he spent 5 mins looking at the financials and spotted fraud, but all the qualified people who reviewed them didn't.

Yes. If the Gov is voted out before the deal is signed then we're stuck with Perth getting a licence. We cannot allow that to happen.

I'm happy to see millions of dollars thrown on a PNG NRL team to wind up the sooks in Perth.

To be honest I dont understand this mentality. I think a new team in either area will probably manage to survive. I dont think either is going to be massively successful, but either option will actually grow the game instead of another Queensland team.

Id hope someone is looking at NZ2 in a few years. Thats not just good for the NRL, thats good for the world game. (as is PNG)

Correct, i hope there is a solid plan to go to another 5 locations= Png, Perth, Adelaide, Nz2, Vic2 could become a 22 team comp and really spread out around the Pacific

I think Vic2 shouldnt even be on the radar yet - let the storm grow, the area is hardly a league or union stronghold - and to be honest, Adelaide will probably never get a go.

Bears could do a job there the are feeding the storm in '24, if they are wanting so desperately for a licence, doing a reverse swans/bloods on Melbourne is a better idea than all the shit half arsed bids theyve come up with these past decade..
NRL would love to have a 2nd presence in Victoria

Having another team in Melbourne in the next decade, doesn't make any sense and would be a low priorty.

Having a Sydney team thats been dead for 25 years move there makes even less sense.

Having one that is a feeder club to the existing Melbourne team, move there is off the charts non-sensical.
