I will be all ova this comment from a sad delusional & scared VFL ****... when an announcement is made by the end of 2012Xman wrote:Mark my words, no expansion in the NRL for at least 5 years!Raiderdave wrote:book mark thisXman wrote:Grant said while the ARLC was keen to grow the sport, the prospect of granting two more NRL licences was not a fait accompli.
"The fact that some people are jumping the gun (on expansion), I can't help that," Grant said last night.
"While we really appreciate the interest and the work of the bid teams, it really is early days and we need to decide what to do as a business strategically to keep the existing clubs financially strong.
"At this point in time it is premature for consortiums to be putting forward their bids now. People are getting overly enthusiastic about (expansion) and it's probably not what we'd suggest that they do.
"As a commission we need to decide where we believe expansion will suit us, if in fact we decide to do that at all.
"2015 has been suggested as a potential date for expansion but the Commission has not considered this and won't be for some time."
Hmm Dave. Jumping the gun much?
