Clubs fear NRL can’t afford to expand

[leagueiscrap]

how come? haven't the NRLOL finally got their act together?
wont their non broadcast revenue continue to rise

a second team in brisbane wont happen in the next 5 years or pretty much ever, due to their their pride and joy in the broncos support will be halved! they will end up with another pathetic Sydney based basket case of a team, just like the Titans

[Raiderdave]

I think some NRL clubs have watched how completetly & utterly the VFL have fucked up their latest stage of expansion

I mean
Its impossible to imagine how any worse it could have gone

so they are a bit apprehensive understandably
But they need not fear
The NRL have more cash then they know what to do with & will receive even more with the largest media rights deal in Australian sports history in 2018

Brisbane needs another NRL team
Perth will add plenty as well

It wont be a question of if we can afford to expand
It will be a question of can we afford not to

We cant afford not to
So we will in 2018

I don't think it is a matter of funds.
as the next Tv deal will rise..

its a matter of player talent within in the NRL
But I think they have enough to cover 2 extra teams easy.

but what Raider said.. I think they are being extra cautious in regards to EXPANSION>>>
The Nrl don't wanna spend 200million on a team or two..
that's plain stupid...

extra QLD TEAM would be A WINNER WINNER for the state of QLD and the NRL

and also regarding the Broncos hold in Brisbane...

there are plenty of fans they hate the Broncos
so introducing another team in Brisbane only creates RIVARLY straight away!
again A WINNER.

New player emerges as race for second Brisbane NRL team hots up

Date
April 15, 2015 - 6:50PM



A fresh player has emerged in the race for a second NRL team in Brisbane, with a new business consortium testing the waters for support as it seeks to rival the Broncos in the code's most fertile market.

Fairfax Media understands the group is canvassing potential backers and want to take on the existing bid of the Brisbane Bombers, which has been run by former heavyweight Brisbane backer Craig Davison.

A move to have a team west of Brisbane has also been firmly established, as has that for a team to be located in Central Queensland, thereby bridging the immense gap between the region's south-east and the far north, which houses the Cowboys. A push to have a Brothers team installed in the NRL has also gained some support but it is thought to be a fringe candidate.

But it is Brisbane emerging as the key battleground for any expansion plans, with leading business figures in the Queensland capital convinced there will be a second team in the city for the 2018 season as the NRL enters a new television broadcast deal that will be much more lucrative than the last.

Club bosses have reportedly warned NRL boss Dave Smith about the financial pitfalls of any proposed expansion, given at least four teams remain reliant on money from head office in order to stay afloat. But Davison is **** those that believe the NRL can't afford not to expand into Brisbane, currently at the mercy of the table-topping Broncos, which remain the wealthiest club in the game and are surging once again under the guidance of Wayne Bennett.

Whether the NRL adds a second team in Brisbane has now become a $250 million question for rugby league, with that figure being suggested as what a Broncos rival would be worth to the code when it goes to the table at the end of the current $1 billion TV deal, which expires after the 2017 season.

The move has the strong support of Channel Nine, which has been desperate to have a game played out of Suncorp Stadium every week, while the prospect of any derby game at a sold-out, 52,000-seat venue only adds to the appeal.

Davison said he couldn't guarantee it would be his Bombers getting the nod but said there was certain to be a new team in Brisbane within three years, regardless of what reshuffles there were with the rest of the current competition.

"I'm not sure what will happen with the rest of the competition, the number of teams, but there must be a second team in Brisbane. I'm not saying that is going to be us but the NRL can't afford not to have another side in Brisbane," Davison said.

Former South Sydney chief executive Shane Richardson has been tasked with investigating the possibility of expansion and any bid teams will need to have their pitch on his desk by the end of the year. And with growing certainty about the prospect of a second Brisbane franchise, the Bombers may have more company as the bidding process begins to take flight.

The question for the NRL will be whether the region can sustain three NRL teams, given the Titans are already financially crippled and struggling to fill the seats of its home base at Robina.

But there has always been a major percentage of rugby league fans in Brisbane that don't have any affiliation with the Broncos and would likely respond favourably to a new team in a city which now boasts a population of more than two million residents.

Is a big decision for the NRL. Yeah I heard there is now another Brisbane bid competing against the Bombers too.
So they must have 7 or maybe more parties bidding to have their club in the NRL now.

Will be all about their financial backing and how they can benefit the NRL in increasing the value of their broadcast.
