NRL EXPANSION

[Beaussie]

Seems the NRL is really worried about the AFL in Queensland.

The NRL’s former chief strategist has urged Peter V’landys and the ARLC to launch a 20th team in Brisbane’s west to tackle the AFL’s $1 billion invasion.

In 2024, the AFL announced it would invest $1 billion over 10 years to double its participation numbers to one million nationwide, with a focus on non-traditional states NSW and Queensland.

Reigning AFL champions the Lions have targeted Brisbane’s western corridor as a key growth area for the game.

Richardson said the Easts and Ipswich consortia had to get together to secure the NRL’s 20th licence and deliver Queensland a fifth team to fend off the AFL.

“The Broncos aren’t servicing the area which is why the Warriors, Souths and everybody else is getting involved. There’s just not enough rugby league,” Richardson said.

“We’re giving up our heartland to the AFL.”

Yep 100%

they know that while Rugby League is Strong in the Corridor of Springfied to Ipswich to Toowoomba
With Grassroots and local clubs in the south west corridor of Brisbane, there is no Games or team represented in the NRL

AFL have based themselves in Springfield which represents the Great Population explosion of the west.

it would be like NRL not having PARRAMATTA, CANTERBURY, TIGERS AND PENRITH in the NRL (population 3 million)

they feel if they neglect AFL will eventually move in..
which i think is a high possibility 10 years down the track

You know when they need to use the word “invasion” only shows the Old Temu Pete and the other Temu administration are very nervous of the AFL

So Temu Pete will be straight to Albonease to ask for money to fund the new fund a new team

I think it is just the NRL bids way of trying to create some concern to try and get a team to be honest.

the terminology, the NRL like to use words like war and invade against the AFL
it really only shows the mind fuckery and fear the NRL has of the AFL
