Quote: Ashulster "Perth needs to be in for there to be true expansion, Someone will have to relocate if there is to be anymore expansion otherwise it will probably be a second Brisbane team and CC. Who wants to see 1 team in 2 different places it doesnt make much sense. Sharks could take a gamble and go somewhere else all together.'"


1 team in 2 different places?

thats the crazy world of the NRL and its stupid joint ventures.

Quote: dally messenger "we need more queensland teams now so id go central coast and brisbane now, and perth wellington later.'"


i have doubts about there being a brisbane team in the next expansion. if it was really in the pipeline for the next expansion then there would have been an official launch of a franchise bid by now would there not? also they would need 3-4 years to build a supporter base and do the ground work for a 2nd team there.

winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11 //www.dragons.com.au/shop/index.asp //dragons.leagueunlimited.com/ //www.showroom.com.au/dragons/drag ... 1intro.htm:34439.jpg



The Secret plans the NRL doesn't want anyone to know about.

I have obtained a copy of a leaked document outlining the NRL's short term plan to tackle AFL, A League and Super 14.

I have it on good authority that they want more teams in Brisbane.

Relocations are high on the NRL agenda.

Secret notes obtained from the NRL state by 2013 the following teams will be in the comp:

1. West Brisbane Tigers
2. Brisbane Bulldogs
3. Sunshine Coast Sea Eagles
4. Nth Qld Cowboys
5. Central Qld Roosters
6. Central Coast Sharks
7. Gold Coast Titans
8. Melbourne Storm
9. Canberra Raiders
10. NZ Warriors
11. Perth Rabbitohs
12. Adelaide Saints
13. Brisbane Broncos
14. Newcastle Knights
15. Wellington Panthers
16. Riverina Eels

The Grand Final will be played at Suncorp Stadium 2 out of 3 years with the 3rd played at the MCG.

State of Origin will be played at Suncorp, MCG and Auckland every year.

All in all this will strengthen RL in Sydney and NSW, esp Western Sydney to fight the scourge of the Western Sydney AFL franchise.

IMO - this looks like the NRL is really going places. icon_lol.gifBut seriously, I have heard whispers that the NRL is closely looking at the A league model, where most clubs will be scraped and new licenses dealt out, with Sydney 4, Qld 1, Central Coast 1, WA 1, with 2 others to be offered to the best other 2 bids( could be PNG or SA or another Qld team, but none in Sydney)
All the new bids and prospective licenses will only got to bidders with sound Finacial backing and that they must not affliate themselves with any current NRL teams in Sydney.

Only teams guaranteed a place, Brisbane, Nth Qld, Gold Coast, Newcastle, Melbourne, New Zealand and Penrith.

They believe this is the only way to decrease the number of teams in Sydney and keep the majority of fans, as they will follow a new team but will not follow another current team if their team folds or is ejected.

Believe it or not. icon_lol.gif Star League as proposed officially on Feb 6 1995

Twelve clubs, playing each other twice.

The Clubs are -
Brisbane
Sth Queensland
Newcastle
Perth
Auckland
Canberra
Illawarra
Sydney North
Sydney South
Sydney West
Sydney City
Adelaide
Melbourne
