| Could be the inaugural year of the West Coast pirates in perth as well, couple of RLWC games at nib would sell out if the Pirates are launched in the same year.

| Wouldn't mind seeing the final at the ANZ, 83,000 in a football stadium would be great.
Not a fan of the ovals but whatever brings in the cash.

I doubt London will have a team in Sl in 5 months......whilst you've been predicting a WA team for a decade........eventually you will be right but with very little level of actual accuracy

They'll be sides in New Zealand, Brisbane and Vic/Sa before Perth. It's a good dream for them to have, keeps them pouring money into Souths pocket.
When they click on that they're a cash cow, like central coast, they'll stop turning up for games.

You want to put your money where your mouth is on that prediction Sheldon?
back on topic:
Perth is likely to host games in the 2017 rugby league World Cup when the Kangaroos defend their title on home soil.
A joint bid by Australia and New Zealand has beaten a South African proposal to host the tournament. The rugby league World Cup was last held in Australia in 2008.
NRL chief executive David Smith said it would be an exciting time for the game.
"Together with New Zealand we will stage a World Cup that will capture the imagination of fans and leave a lasting legacy for the sport," Smith said.
"It's such an exciting time for the international game and members and fans across Australia and New Zealand now have a special opportunity to be part of it."
Chairman of the bid committee and Rugby League International Federation chief Nigel Wood said it had not been an easy decision.
"Both bids were compelling but the joint Australia/New Zealand bid was selected as the one with the greatest chance of success in providing more compelling games in world class environments in front of big, passionate crowds," Wood said.

| If it's done right we won't have to wait till 2017 to see things happening. Before the 2008 WC there were some great qualifying tournaments. Before 2013 they were scaled down because of the lack of money, but there is really an opportunity before 2017 to use some funds to put on qualifying games for everyone but the top 3 sides.
There should be 13 places up for grabs, and teams should have to earn there spot from 4th down to 16th in qualifying tournaments.
That should happen in 2015 and 2016.

In what? That Perth won't have a NRL side for 2017 would be the shortest wait, unless you wanted to bet that Vic/SA would have one before Perth? Which could see the bet need paying from 5 years to never.

| And, jnr development, and a fanbase, and a stadium, and corporate support, and govt support, and player support, and coaches support and.........
In fact all we are missing is the NRL review starting in Sept that a SHOULD lead to an announcement that the Pirates will be kicking off in 2017.
