Victoria Park or Northshore Hamilton stadium should happen! (preferably the latter). Labor is going to embarrass Brisbane if we go ahead with QSAC.

Carey, Hird. Riverina boys. The list goes on. Don’t forget Mark Taylor & Slater. Wagga boys. Big market to be tapped into.

What about sort out the second tier and introduce a promotion / relegation system? Tier 2 grand finalists get promoted and bottom 2 AFL teams get relegated. Don’t dismiss it. It would get rid of tanking.

Third Perth team? No! More so for Adelaide. Get the WAFL & SANFL fully behind the existing teams. 4 for each AFL team and get the VFA back. Port Melbourne do ok… Seriously, why does every Victorian team need it’s own VFL team? Why does Adelaide even have a SANFL team that can’t make the finals? And Port finished dead last. West Coast don’t need a team finishing last. Sort out the second tier first. Darwin. Absolutely not! Too small and the playing conditions are ridiculous. Has to be Canberra / ACT / Riverina. With a new stadium near Lake Burley Griffin to host AFL & cricket. No roof or no test cricket. You could keep Belconnen Oval as a training base and headquarters. Make the new venue a destination point. Even the NRL has a team in Canberra. And it has a bigger population than Tasmania. What’s the business cost analysis behind these thought bubbles?

Tassie will be hard enough. It’ll never make a profit and have to be supported forever by the AFL. Darwin would be even worse. The population is just too small. It only has 140K people - less than 60% of the NT. Geelong has a bigger population than the entire NT. And who else is going to use the stadium. Put a roof on it and you can’t play test cricket there. Canberra makes much more sense. Build a new stadium near Lake Burley Griffin, you can play cricket there, it’s close to the Riverina (an AFL heartland) and the ACT has about the same size population as Tasmania. Much bigger than Hobart. No brainer.

I'm waiting for this PNG NRL team to fail and for PNG to enter the Chinese Super League in 10 years time.

Canberra can't sell out the current stadium so where is the need? Better Mass transit to Bruce is what's needed, a spur line past GIO to the University lots of good route options maybe 1 Billion for 6-8 kilometres. Allianz was built for 880 million dollars, East's aren't drawing bigger crowds and RU crowds have fallen beneath the earth, the new stadium was built they didn't come. Too much public money is thrown at poorly conceived stadium ideas especially with no mass transit like Moore Park. A stadium was built at Gosford for Manly who subsequently left, they should have contracted Manly for 20 years at a bear minimum before it was built. Roofing is waste of money for the odd wet day.

THIS GUY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING ABOUT HISTORY!!

Why the hell are the NRL even thinking of merging Perth / Western Australia with the Bears or anyone for that matter ? What a farce . The Dolphins came in as a stand alone club and so should Perth .

Well, they do welcome you to their country every game. What did ya expect?

Surprising that a team based in the Hunter/Central Coast is not considered a realistic option with a population of approximately 1 million and growing.

The image at 7:15 of a massive concert. Hmmm. Who would bring a crowd of that size. Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran. None will even come to Tasmania.🤦🏻

Four games per year in Launy stadium?? What!!!! There’s not going to be enough events held at Maq1 so taking four games away as well is a shambles.

Norwood bought 25,000 fans to the recent SANFL grand final, so they are still relevant.

Should be built in Oatlands

QSAC is ridiculous project. Gabba redevelopment is absolutely the best plan. Hope that LNP will revisit the Gabba project when they win the election!

We don’t want the Bears, we want the REDS

Yes. I am a Melbourne Rebels supporter.

A lot of fscilities and great corporate options you forhot to mention the Stadium in Perth that Held the Origin

what a mess. there should be another breakaway competition. just like the mid 90s. some teams from most aussie states and cities plus 1-3 from NZ. forget about PNG. then they can negotiate and set up a 2 division competition with promotion and relegation. NRL is the biggest joke

This Queensland Government is broke like federal No Idea about money management.

The best grounds in the NRL are the suburban grounds that have character. I would rather go and watch a game a nice refurbished full capacity suburban ground than go to a half empty Allianz, and a 20,000 crowd at Accor. Our game is not AFL we won't sell those grounds out week in week out. There's very much tribalism and fans love their grounds. Speak to dolphins fans we would much rather watch a game at Dolphins than travel to the city. Suncorp is a better ground facilities wise however, dolphins you're right on top of the action. It's so much nicer to watch football

Going beyond the barrasi line is an advantage for afl cause they are taken there game to higher populations which means a greater pool of people to gain supporters It’s not that much of a leg up for nrl cause they’d be going to places with less people Eg Perth has a pop of 2. 2 million You probably have half of that from north Sydney to the central coast in pop Especially when norths and cc are rugby league heart land and Perth Adelaide nz are not It makes more sense to go where the consumers are They take everything that is from that place and shove it down the throat of people who don’t care

PNG makes business sense In other words we can make a quick buck and retire It’s called a pump and dump Take away the government support of the png it’s all cons

China is building schools and hospitals and roads And we are like here is a football team Fuck our government is filled with morons

If the NRL reject the Perth bid that will guarantee at least 20,000 spectators at every home game, for a PNG team that at best will have a crowd of 2000 to 5000 paying spectators, so be it, any player that goes to PNG on more than a 1 year contract is an idiot as Port Moresby isnt a very safe place to be if you are a non PNG citizen, even being in a Gated Community wont keep you safe, so my advise is dont take your family, personally I would rather play for $500K in Australia than play in PNG for $1M.

Who the hell wants to be recruited by a png based team?

The western bears were rejected because Kevin Walters has no eyebrows 😮

The consortium running the bid has been rejected. Perth team is still on the cards under a NRL/North sydney joint venture.

Manuka and Giants are both way behind the Tassy stadiums I think. Both grounds are soulless.

Why wasn't the Perth/Western Pirates not put in? I'm in WA we'd want our own identity instead of having a team that plays most of their "home" games in Sydney

Where do you get youre info? There has never been a licence fee paid by any other club in the NRL not even the Dolphins. This is a cash grab plain and simple

F&$K ME HOW DOES F@$K SOUND

Vlandys greed at play yet again.Every industry he's been his aim is to screw whomever he possibly can for the sake of buck.

Disappointing but we need a team of our own as a first option.

Bring back the western Reds

Make a new team in Perth call them the West Coast pirates and the whole of WA would support them. Bring the bears back and move to Adelaide Than a new team in new Zealand south Island

Derubbin lands council doesn't currently have a board. They were dismissed as the lands council is currently in Administrstion.

Yep sounds like the launie council

West Aussie's dont want Sydney left overs. We are a parochial people we want a club with a West identity. Perth Pirates!

It's pretty wild to talk about how the various bids they are receiving arent finanically sound enough, but the one that requires a couple hundred million of federal funding? Yeah that one's surely a financially stable set up that wont implode the second that 10 year fed funding deal expires!

The draw and 2023 the best gfs since 2000. And I hate the pies.

NRL has a perfect chance in Perth. Rugby Union is at a low. Western Force was chucked out disgracefully by ARU and only Twiggy's money got them back. IF NRL ever want to be the premier rugby code in Perth then they need to move quickly.

30% of the players in the NRL are Kiwis. Let that sink in. Why on earth would would you neglect such a hotbed of talent? A new, state of the art stadium in Christchurch and a solid business plan. Also a chance to take valuable market share from Union (which is in a position of vulnerability in NZ for maybe the first time ever). A South Island team is a no brainer.

Dolphins didn’t have to pay a $20m licence fee. Broke ass NRL is just trying to screw money out of the WA Government.

The Warriors suck, you watch now they dropped out of play offs the crowds will dwindle again and they will return to their home in mediocrity. Would another team in NZ have a chance? Considering how shit the Warriors are and the absolute state of NZ provincial/club league is in I very much doubt it.

PNG/Cairns team? Got a international airport and mad footy fans.

The guy running the Perth Bears bid, also ran the Dolphins bid and the Dolphins DID NOT pay a licence fee. The application for the 18th team allowed the applicants to nominate a licence fee. The Perth bid put $zero, because none was asked for and the NRL set a precedent of $zero with the Dolphins. Now the NRL are sooking, insulted and offended by being "low balled" on a licence fee? If the NRL wanted a licence fee, they should have nominated such a fee upfront instead of wasting everyone's time. The way the NRL is carrying on, points to political moves behind the scenes to bring foward the PNG bid. The smell of $600m of Australian tax payers money, including a big fat licence fee to be divided among the current 17 clubs is probably closer to the truth. If the NRL's priorities have changed or they got a better offer, then they should just be upfront and say so. Don't have a public sook about being "Low Balled".

As a Dragons fan i feel a bit off about Cronulla relocating i like our derby with them lot & would kill a bit of both teams history if Cronulla becomes Adelaide

I'd much rather the Bears than a Papua new Guinea side .. Bring em back 👍
