Will the NRL ever expand again??

[ParraEelsNRL]

All this yak yak yak yet no truth as usual.

Seems all the vfl fans forgot the titans as usual or just plain lied to set their agenda on its course.

No money the wookie says, hmmm. Isn't their current deal close too the current fumbles deal?
The fumbles put two teams in and it is costing them a fortune. The NRL didn't.
There are more players on a fumbles list to start with so more cost there too.
Meh what do I know anyway, the titans are a figment of my imagination according to you lot.
The ARL in 1995 had 20 teams, by the time two comps were up and fighting each other, there were 22 teams which was reduced with mergers and or relocations and sadly removals of a lot of loved historic clubs right down to 14 teams only until South's fought their way back in for the 2002 season. Then 5 years later the titans were formed to take the league back to the current 16.

There are lies mistruths and propaganda, sadly as usual it's all one way.

2007 was the last time the league expanded. Under the main league there are expansion teams already playing from the south coast in the Illawarra cutters, the central coast, Perth red pirates or whatever, new Zealand, PNG, Fiji next season, and a whole bunch of old and new Queensland teams wanting a piece of the action. So to say there has been no expansion since 1998 is a flat out lie for a start. The league at NRL level has jumped from 14 to 16 in that time with plenty more on the horizon. The NRL are making sure all the current clubs are viable first and the player depth is there first before adding anymore teams. Even an idiot should be able to see this, yet you knuckleheads can't. Go figure eh.

The game doesn't want to co tinue raiding the European super league to its detriment now does it? That wouldn't be smart business destroying your main European comp for another 40 odd players at least. Better off bringing in these new teams as they have in the lower divisions whilst growing the grassroots in those places so that once they do have a team, they can rely on homegrown talent which will have community support straight away over paying stars to move interstate or overseas in regard new Zealand, PNG or whatever they decide to do In the pacific which could combine two or even three nation jointly having a club playing three or four home games in separate places.

Your right I did forget the Titans - your the first to raise it and that in itself. Don't you think the NRL whilst having all these bids aren't really showing any sort of strategic plan it seems it's all a bit hap hazard - also they don't seem to care or are interested in areas like Adelaide and Perth while I haven't looked at recently looks years off have a first grade juniors.

Swans what's all this fascination with expansion? Is it just jealousy and envy because the NRL do it so much better than the AFL?

Queensland is a Dead zone in the AFL with two miserable failures. And clubs like GWS, I'm sure you will tell me there in the finals blah, blah, blah. But there only there at the expense of the lower Melbourne sides that are struggling to survive due to the exorbitant money being pumped into the likes of GWS just to keep them afloat.

The Suns , GWS , the wions [-o< , what a dismal failure AFL expansion is.

Look at the NRL' expansion sides Melbourne, Gold Coast, Brisbane and before that Canberra. All profitable and all in the Semis. So stop waffling on about NRL expansion when AFL expansion is nothing short of a joke, a very sick one.

Sell out again for the storm tonight?

Really they do it so well let me see, AFL sides to fold after expansion since 1980 - 0
RL sides to fold following expansion - Sth QLD Crushers, Gold Coast Seagulls, Hunter Mariners, Adelaide RAMS, Nth Sydney and Western Reds/Pirates - 6 clubs!

Wait for it SL war - but the fact is it just show RL is not very good at expansion with GC Titans and Newcastle, West Tigers under NRL administration just shows they bow too much to external pressures that are generally short sighted and don't have any real strategic plan. GWS is far from being a failure indeed can only be considered an ongoing success in a term term plan, Bris Lions will bounce back 23,000 members and an average of 17,000 home crowds better than most RL clubs - and GC well home crowd of 11500 and membership base of 12800 seems again on par with other RL clubs - your so blinded by arrogance that you don't even realise what your talking about!

So you forgot about the swans having to relocate from Victoria because they were insolvent plus you didn't mention the Brisbane bears playing out of the gold coast having to move and merge with Fitzroy? That's three clubs alone yet the propaganda bs continues.

Typical.

[ParraEelsNRL]

Oh and BTW, no rugby league fan considers anything news limited done during the SL war as expansion. Those clubs were put there just so they had a comp to show on TV. The only club they did make I to expansion were the storm after the war had finished. FRS they had two teams in Newcastle of all places. Stop the bullshit.

[leeroy*NRL*]

the Expansion into Wellington (wouldn't be just for Wellington)
it would be connecting surrounding areas as well..

But that's no point at all Sydney still exist and yes they were insolvent the AFL fucked up a lot to do with their relocation but importantly learned from their mistake, Brisbane merged I purposely didn't mention Sth/I'll, West/Tigers as dissolving because they haven't independent boards for the one club - in Brisbanes case the boards merged. Secondly Sth Qld Crishers, GC Seagulls, Perth Reds, Nth Sydney pre-dated SL war whether you consider them casualtys of that war is not the point the point is RL expanded without any real strategic vision the AFL has had plans in place and pick and choose the moment and regardless whether right or wrong see it thru - my point is and still remains RL doesn't seem to embark with too much forethought - Fiji has a pop of 800k, Wellington almost 400k, whilst on the surface PNG has over 7.3 mil it is a third world country with most living in inaccessible areas below the poverty level where the average wage is $15500 us a year, yet Adelaide has 1.3 mil has the same average income and is an hr away. Like I don't care the NRL don't but to pump up the importance of Wellington, PNG and Fiji is to blindly overlook the obvious!

[Swans4ever]

the Expansion into Wellington (wouldn't be just for Wellington)
it would be connecting surrounding areas as well..

Maybe but your still starting at a lower base if your going to go up against a well established code like RU isn't that no different to Adelaide??

[pussycat]

Swans your whole point is pointless. Why rush into expansion? I'm sure the NRL will expand but there's no rush. Theyll learn from the stuff ups made by your mob and then do it right. Your making it seem like it necessary to do it as quickly as possible - why? there already the most popular sport in this country and the gap is only getting larger.

And the only thing you can come up with to counter is teams that were lost or forced to merge due to the SL war.

Yet that is not what you stated. You said they had no failures like the NRL whereas I showed you lied again As usual. As for the rest of this rubbish, I couldn't be fucked, it's why I don't bother here anymore. You arseholes just make it up as you go along.

If I was born 15/25 years ago I would probably have believed all the crap you posted. I was born and lived through all the bs you conveniently ignored thus I know the thruth. I won't bother responding again as you'll just post more fiction again. Each time you post about RL you leave the most important facts out. I hope viccy kiccy house is paying you well. That or you need to be hired to write for the daily terrorgraph or join forces with that hypocritical double convicted drink driving bitch from the other mob.

[Fred]

Again grass roots. You can play AFL all over the nation. Rl has very little footprint outside traditional area in regard to grass roots alrhough wa is doing okay comparatively. Grow grass roots and the rest will fall in place.

You obviously haven't read my previous posts and it's nice to know there are those out there can always look on the bright side even if wishful thinking - I'm not advocating rushing expansion but when and where!

Stop quoting membership numbers and step into the real word - No one give a stuff about clubs like the Suns.

The best you can come up with is clubs that were victim of SL, that is fact. I realise the you struggle with facts and reality but its true (something else that's foreign to you)
Stop all this sabre rattling Sarge :_<> :_<>

obviously you do pissycat struggle with reality like as do the majority of your tinfoil hat NRLOL fans.

the NRLOL clubs failed & continue due to the simple fact they have pathetic fan base sizes

[NRL&NFLweLaughATafl]

Gold Coast Titans 2007 are the most recent expansion.

They were around from 1988-1998 as chargers, seagles etc... and were victims of the cull of teams after the superleague war.

Gradually the NRL will expand again and bring more teams back again too.

What you guys don't realise is Rugby League is a bigger than just the NRL. Unlike AFL being in just one nation.

A new professional Rugby League club is starting in Canada next year competing in UK competitions.
