East Coast Tiger?

yep...the one and only....thank god

Offers nothing to the rest of the NRL (self interest governs as much here as it does in UK)
3rd world country
Not a hope of raising an income of $20mill
Will not have a talent pool big enough to put together a competitive NRL team for at least a decade
No suitable stadium and the figures suggested for building a new one won't even get them something the standard of Kograh

Apart from that its a great idea. When the NRL shows it is big and rich enough to actually have a national game then they can think about expanding to exotic climes.

People who have set up and run NRL clubs say otherwise. And they have more credibility than someone who just claims to know these things.

lol

Are you seriously comparing London to PNG

Seriously.......what's up with the NRL board. Is it that you have been spanked there more times than a naughty child in naughty town

Seriously.....the NRL isn't even the most dominant sport in Australia FFS. It gets less tv money, less fans and less media coverage than Aussie Rules.

Do you think by posting on a board that is mainly read by people in the Northern Hemisphere you will gain some credibility.

What a feck wit. Even when legitimate and obvious examples from other sports like soccer hooliganism is raised this union troll ignores it completely. Just like every other fact that totally nullifies any protest against a PNG team. The bid accounts for any and every issue raised by the biggots who don't wnat to give PNG people a team and yet they still go out of their way to slander the people of that country with statements like "third world" which isn't even an accepted term anymore and hasn't been for a long time. This pillock tries to suggest he knows everything about southern hemisphere rugby league but doesn't even know what the eligibility rules for State of Origin are. That's what you get for being a blow-in unionite I guess.

I can see this ending well

Regardless of whay you or any other myopic aussie idiot posts about the NRL, the fact remains that it isn't the wonderful thing you believe it to be. It gets less money than the bigger code.....TV viewing figures outside SoO are manipulated to suit various arguments, Monday night football and the rain are blamed for the decline in crowds, players continue to pop up in the press for non-rugby related issues liKe violence, violence towards women and drink driving to name just 3.

As for expansion? Penrith are shipping $11,000,000 a year in losses.......some Sydney teams have taken their home games to NZ when they play the Warriors to artificcially inflate their season averages.......5 games in Sydney this weekend attracted less than 1 AFL game in Victoria. Get Sydney sorted before you even look at WA.........never mind NZ II or the still laughable PNG

I repeat.......this is on the VT because you know you'd be laughed out of town by posters with a bit more "local" knowledge. Just because I used to play Union, you try to smokescreen the issues by calling me a troll.....fact remains that those on these boards who have met me know that I am anything but.

Union troll slating RL. What a shock. Oh and claiming he is not a union troll, only to slate RL some more. I've seen it all before. A million times. It could be Tommy Two Codes or just about any other union troll on the web. "I'm not a union troll.... but here's everything that's wrong with RL". It's pathetic and obvious. This issue is on multiple forums and is just as relevant here. Just because you spend so much time looking for news articles from PNG so you can slander those people and you don't realise this doesn't mean it's not true. You're a pathetic union apologist who doesn't want to see RL succeed anywhere and your ridiculous lies about TV ratings, club losses etc just proves it beyond doubt. You have no RL credibility whatsoever. I doubt you have ever played or been involved in the game in any way at all and yet you admit you're an old union boy. Enough said. The proof is glaring. No RL person would play union, make up lies to ridicule RL in Australia, bring up off-field incidents but fail to mention that they occur in every code and go out of their way to portray the people of PNG in such a derogatory way.

You could have let me down gently. Does this mean we are not dating anymore

So no denials then. Nuff sed.
