WEST COAST PIRATES
NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9857.jpg |

yeh only value of expanding will be to have an extra game to sell so it will be two or none imo.
Expressed interest in bids so far are:
CC Bears www.centralcoastbears.com.au
WA Reds www.waredsrugbyleague.com.au
Ipswich Jets no site
CQ ?? www.cqnrlbid.com.au
PNG ?? www.pngnrlbid.com
Bears are way in front but the niggling "keep Gosford for Cronulla" may be their only chance of not getting in, Reds would have to be next. Ipswich are newcomers so not much known about their bid. CQ and PNG have zero chance. |

Too early if I am honest.
Whilst the turn out for the Kiwis v England game was great, the fortunes of Wellingtons soccer team, basketball team and both grade Union teams are not so good.
Phoenix had a crowd of sub 5k last weekend....Lions crowds were down 27% against 2009, Hurricanes down 20% on 2009 and the basketball team, that won last years championship, is in dire straits with no sponsor for the coming season...they may have to pull out.......the netball lot were terrible again and the only way that they got people in was with free kids tickets....
The wellington Firebirds Cricket franchise is in even worse condition.....less than 2,000 turn up for the 20/20 games...and nobody bothers with the 50 over games.
Funny city Wellington. They have a state of the art stadium 5 minutes walk from the CBD. It has loads of sport going on...yet the only 2 things assured to sell out are the 7's and the annual AB's game......the 7's when nobody watches the rugby....the AB's when you need to be well connected to get a ticket.
If the NRL are interested and Wellington RL can find a backer, then I would get the Warriors down 3 or 4 times over the next 2 years to test the water........I would also wait and see how the new national 7 Zone Comp continues.

A negative viewpoint.
Knock me down...
Rugby league will have a 2nd team in New Zealand within 5 years, whether GF likes it or not.

Can't help but think that the three main things to effect who gets in IF they expand will be TV Deal, Independent Commission and what the other clubs want to happen. |

Realistic view. Based on fact and actual attendances over the last year...........I have no doubt that the nrl will have a second NZ team.....just pointing out the facts as they are now.
Don't be such an idiot old dear.......you know who I work for......I told you in a reply to one of your many pm's.......I get paid when the 2nd team arrive. Its my job to know what the lie of the land is.......not rely on wishful thinking |

I hope if we get in we swap our colours. Officially they are red and black but with the Bears coming in they have dibs on those. I'd like to see us go with a Les Catalans style shirt and red and yellow. Would be unique in the NRL,nice bold colours, macth our original logo and red soil, yellow sand works well for the States natural colours.

He chose the name of a cross dressing Austalian institutions other persona.....and is your typical Aussie w@nker living in London whilst he tries to get some culture by visiting Prague to get pi55ed on Cheap Star, getting a fondle from a dodgy hooker in amsterdam and eating a snail for a bet when in paris. All of these things will make him a cultural icon when his visa runs out and he is sent the way of his great grandparents....alas, not in chains this time.[/quote:2v2cei1t]

Either jumper would look pretty grouse when worn proudly by your typical average bogan WA resident

| Having spent time at games in Sydney I thought being a bogan was pre requisite of being an NRL fan? I'm growing the mullet and got the flannelette shirt ready for 2013!  |

''The 4½-hour flight from Sydney to there is nothing. It is a great market, a growing population and rich in potential.''
Geyer, who also favoured the Central Coast bid, said he would welcome the day when the elite rugby league competition boasted 20 teams.
