In Adelaide and Perth you gimp. If the nRL took the AFL approach and set these teams up with shit lists initially that would turn into brilliant lists within 5 years, the amount of blowouts they would have in the early years would increase sharply. As Adelaide and Perth don't give a shit about that lame pommy game, crowds and interest would reach new lows. Of course the nRL could take the Storm approach and find private owners for these clubs to make sure they finish top 4 every year just so the interest is there, leaving old teams like Parramatta on the bottom.
Hmmm
perth reds first game in 1995 V St George ( regular finalists )
Perth wins 28-16
they go on to win another 23 games from 61 played all up 1995 to 1998
adelaide rams won 13 out of 42 games played .....1997 & 1998
now lets look at the thuns
they've played 47 games of vicky kicky so far ... & won...... 7
the Midgets have played 25 games ... & won 3
seriously
do not comment on things you have no idea about
which is virtually
everything ....
K cockhead ?

I'm talking about what could happen in possible future expansion you fucking imbecile, not what has happened in the past!
If the nRL take the AFL approach and set their lists up for the future, so short term pain with long term gain, these new teams would win sweet fuck all as well.
what could happen
but never has
our track record of new sides being strong from day 1 is there for all to see
your assumption
that any new sides of ours in an expansion market will fail as miserably as the 2 latest VFL sides have
has no foundation based on the NRL's constantly proven ability to field strong sides regardless of where they are from .....
the VFL's attempts at new sides in expansion markets have been woeful
the swines & brisbane teddy bears in the 80's are further proof of its inability to get it right
& one can't use the excuse of look at em now either
we all know the only reason these teams have had any success either in the past or in the present
is the rampant manipulation & rigging of the salary cap & draft
in 2018 when we field our next team in an expansion market ... Perth
this side will compete for the finals ... in 2018
& it won't be because the NRL will allow it to spend more then any other team , or have unfair access to the available talent
it will be because our code has a far deeper talent pool , far more effective development paths & professional comps in NZ , England & France to draw on
K cockhead ?
