LOL @ Delusional RL Supporters

What is it with these delusional RL people. To many knocks in the head I guess. Clearly brain damaged material.

Fair dinkum, suggestions of a second team in Melbourne when the current team average crowds of just 15k, despite constant on field success and meanwhile is heamorraging millions year after year, and has a membership base of 5k. FFS what drugs is this guy on? #-o

At least he admits what we all know that RL is not the most popular football code in Australia.
''It's a new era for the game because it is now truly independent,'' Mortimer said. ''The hard work begins now, but the beautiful thing is everything the commissioners must contend with is solvable.

''Within four or five years I predict rugby league will be the most popular of all the football codes in Australasia, not just Australia but Australasia.

''I can see there'll again be teams in Perth and Adelaide within 10 years as part of the game's expansion, but I also see a second team in Melbourne and another one in New Zealand.

This is Ned Mortimner.
Maybe Steve should look closer to home.

No comment from the RL set. Obviously in agreement that Steve Mortimer is delusional with talk of a second Melbourne NRL team.

Not to mention a team in Adelaide and a team in Perth!
