NRL NRL Expansion

Great post, and it is good to have them back. Mario is my all time favourite player - hence The Falcon moniker.
I’ll never forget the off day Daryl Halligan had with his usual laser kicking in one of their semi finals to lose by a couple.
I think North Sydney was always a 2nd fav team for for us over the Ditch because idolised kiwis like Mark Graham, Clayton Friend and Olsen Filipina played for them to name a few.
Great looking ground on TV too, especially with all the kids perched on the branches of that huge tree.
Good to see the team will be keeping the red and black colours of old too.
Keen to watch how the club is put together and who will fill key positions on and off the field.

Bears were my team that year Hoppe played for them before coming to us. Hard to get used to them being Perthlings now, but I suppose we will.

Hoppe got ditched by the Raiders didn't he due to signing with us? Then had a short stint with Norths before the Warriors started.

It's been a long time but I recall he signed with us it didn't go down well.

He played well for Norths. Would do a ton of work for a winger in those days.

Now that Perth has been announced we will see a lot of articles with a potential team or squad.

Most of them will be full of stars.

None of them will likely have a $ value next to the players indicating what they think it would take to sign that player. The articles would be more fun like that seeing them realise they would struggle to fit their potential teams under the salary cap. Or after the 17 they'd have nothing left.

I was in Brisbane for the Magic round and ventured out to Redcliffe …. 25 min drive - is that really expansion??

Well the other option was Ipswich or towards Toowoomba.

Trust me you wouldnt enjoy the drive there.

Bris deserves two teams though as lots of people hate the Broncos.
