wow a thread on expansion wrecked by the same people who have made the NRL forum the ghost town it now is

not content with polluting that section of the forum they spread here as well

shame positive threads are infested with these people

Yeah it happens.

PM if you're going to the next Parra/Tigs game at the SFS in a few weeks, We'll meet up and have a few bundys.

I owe you and if I go (98% I will) we'll have a good night.

There is a massive difference between a positive thread and the crap that is being spouted on here.

BTW.....the NRL board is missing only 1 poster.....you and it is a much more "positive" place now that you don't start 15 threads a day with links to the SMH or with some fantastical claim of world dominance.

It's all well and good saying that you think PNG should be in the NRL, but it's another matter when you act like a spoilt brat when anyone points out the failings in your argument.

It's an NRL debate.....it should be on the NRL boards, but becuase you get shown up there you have decided to polute the VT.

spam alert lol

remember where you read it first

42,269 turned up......so they hadn't sold 47,000....or the 50,000 you BFF claimed later in the thread 50,000 eh? It was 18,293.....self ownership has never been easier.

And to think, that despite having some reservations about how it would work, I was supportive of ECT's postings on this thread.




ah, there you have it, the debating genius that is Dally's lol

Lest we forget.......



....still makes me smile

Expansion may have to wait until the very real threat of afl is fought off in the West, there's to many fans who may switch with Penrith and Parramatta having bad seasons.

A bit like gold coast and Melbourne fans this season.

wow i leave teh nrl forum it goes quiet

i add to a thread here and my friends come back to life with multiple postings

shame they are all on ignore still

as ive said before ill repeat

appetitie for expansion will improve markedly for the nrl as the next 2 TV deals will see massive increases

right now the NRL is strapped for funds

when we have loads of money then the idea of a PNG team improves markedly

espeically if the PNG government support the bid as promised

today is has no chance but in the future has as much chance as a 2nd NZ team

ultimately the NRL will be a competition of 22 - 24 teams , maybe of 2 groups

the salary cap will be $10 - $15 million

and PNG have an excellent chance of being in that given their love of the sport

I agree with 95% of that, but am becoming more wary as people in the game seem to be gearing up for a spreading of funds for the existing clubs from the first TV deal. They may not expand as quickly or as we first thought. Maybe 14 Perth, 15, Brisbane the Sequel.

can anybody please give me directions to Newcastle Knights Leagues Club?

in the 30 years ive been following RL in australia i havent been able to find it

Try google.

Misguided maybe...

.....seriously, I'll never tire of posting that

for those that have no clue about RL in australia the Newcastle Knights have never had a Leagus Club

so asking how many members they have is really, really stupid

lol
