Fumbleball was played in every Australian state before rugby league was invented. An Ipswich fumbleball team beat Essendon in the 1890s.
In 1905 vfl came very close to taking over from rugby union in Sydney

in Brisbane also it was very strong

these idiots just don’t know the history that vfl is older than rugby league in nsw and qld

yet when league came around it wiped union soccer and vfl off the map

@Perth Red and @mongoose don't know anything about the Australian sports landscape. Fumbleball is so embedded into the culture of Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth it is impossible for any other sport to compete with it. The only reason AwFuL hangs on by a thread in Brisbane and Sydney is because of its long history and handouts from AwFuL.

The Storm would have gone belly up without assistance from News Ltd. They still might go belly up if the club collects numerous wooden spoons when Bellamy retires. Adelaide and Perth won't have the same sort of assistance that made the Storm strong.

Honestly, if there is no room for Rugby League in a city of over 2 million in a country where League has such a huge profile then the NRL is f**ked.

When Brisbane, New Zealand and PNG have been accommodated and there's enough talent then we can look into cities like Perth.

Your buddy from Perth is against Brisbane 3 and NZ 2 because he knows it'll weaken the Storm and kill of Perth's chances of getting a team. Dullard from Cairns is against a third Brisbane team because he erroneously thinks it will turn the Cowboys into cellar-dwellers.

If you're so worried about Perth then why don't you give them the Raiders?

Canberra provides no value to the game. Small regional city that doesn't even like rugby league and produces shit talent.

Stop Bs'ing, Im not against NZ2 at all. Just needs a viable bid and a strong business case. It has neither of those things as of now.
I am against Brisbane3 when we have untapped new markets to grow into and Brisbane already has 2 clubs, and neither are near full market reach.

I’m with grotd Perth should wait till after nz2 brisbane 3 and png

Adelaide can come in too especially if we go to 24 teams

putting Perth ahead of brisbane 3 nz2 or png would be wrong imo

but I do think the arlc has Perth as team 19 unless things explode further in nz then Perth could miss out until after

In a couple of decades they can bring in Ipswich and CC as clubs 21 and 22 for the myopic to salivate over

None of them exist
Anywheres Bears bid exists.... thats about it id say,
Now that PNG is getting gifted the 18th, there is only the bears left, i doubt the arlc are looking at another qld team, it will be left for perth and nz2 to duke it out as 20th
