NRL NRL Expansion

What an all around terrible idea.

Partnership with super rugby team that's on the verge of collapse - check.

Playing out of a terrible stadium that they'd battle to get a quarter full - check.

Trying to muscle in on a city that's riding a Warriors wave - check.

Reckon they might need to check the guys backing this for CTE.

I never said anything about some partnership. If Perth Rugby are on the verge of collapse, I could not care less. Rugby's not 1 of my sporting interests.

For their 1 game last year they got 20k. I understand they wouldn't get 20k for every game esp if they're loosing but hard to believe they wouldn't get 5k 25%.

If Perth had their own team chances are they'd ride that team.

All that said I'm not burning inside for a Perth team, I don't care that much and you're against it which is totally fine by me.

I believe he’s talking about the new Mana Pasifika bid that would be based in Auckland.

If it wasn't for the evil News Corp & the weak as wet paper ARL we'd have 20 teams. 10 in Sydney and 10 outside and there wouldn't be this PNG nonsense where the government of gigantic Alcatraz are giving them $60m every year for 10 years.

As for a team in Perth, Sth Sydney's the only club without a home ground. Crowe would probably bite my head off for the suggestion. Alternatively they could take over Henson Park. It's less than 7klm from Redfern and they claim it can hold 30k, which is hard to believe looking at it on google maps.

Superleague missed a golden opportunity to relationise Sydney if done properly- no way should they have 10 teams, maybe 7 max if you were including the satellites like Wollongong and Gosford.
I’ve played at Henson park and there’s no way it has 30,000 Capacity, I’d estimate 15k max. Souths should just got to Allianz Henson is a bit of a shithole in reality worse than liechardt and smack bang in dense suburbia of Newtown/Marrickville there’s not a lot of space
