And how are you going to pay for their relocation?
backers to the hilt for our sides already ... 7 consortiums chokers full of businessmen already onboard
with the 2 favs having the thoroughbreds ( wealthy brisbanites.. some of the richest Aust there are ) already involved with the Bombers
Mining magnate Tony Sage ready to pump millions into a Perth NRL side
& a billion dollar TV deal too
all sorted...
We have about that many players waiting right here in Australia! 18 clubs in SA and WA and strengthening competition in Tasmania and the NEAFL not to mention the state league in Victoria. Where's the local back up for the NRL in such numbers
you have cr@p & the proof was last years comp
more lop sided games ... more uncompetitive clubs then ever before ... & another one into the mix this year to make the AFL an even less appealing comp then last years debacle
you don't have enough players of AFL standard to field 18 clubs ... FULLSTOP
we have tens of thousands of players here in Aust too
that doesn't mean they are of NRL standard ...some are ... but most aren't
but.. we have plenty that are in the UK ....100 ex NRL players
75 would get a start in the NRL tomorrow
the european econonmy is not the golden paved path to easy money it used to be
when our next TV deal kicks in .... the bigger money for playing RL will be back here ... those players will return & bring plenty of good young English talent with them
NZ is producing players like its going out of fashion too
their Toyota cup side is proof
young Kiwis know if they want to play RL ... theres 17 Clubs across the ditch who will pay them well if they cant get a start at the Warriors
they are taking up the game in droves
our 2 new teams will be potential finalists in their first year
unlike the AFL's ... where you'd rather put your head ova bucket of puke ... then watch them play.
