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

THE AFL is poised to strike on the Gold Coast and is now pushing into rugby league heartland in western Sydney.
The ARU is getting ready to challenge rugby league's fragile hold in Melbourne.
And the NRL? Well, if expansion was a race it would be running a conspicuous last - in desperate need of a compass and a map to find its way to the finish line.
Former rugby league hardman Gorden Tallis recently said on Fox Sports that in all his time as an NRL director, he never once saw a long-term plan for the expansion of the game.
But don't mistake inactivity for apathy. The NRL has an expansion plan in mind and part of it will be revealed when South Sydney hosts Melbourne at Members Equity Stadium in Perth tonight.
"The AFL hadn't expanded for a long time before (Gold Coast and western Sydney)," NRL chief executive David Gallop explained to The Weekend Australian after a whirlwind trip to Perth this week.
"In 12 months' time when the media rights position is clearer we will look seriously at expansion.
"The potential targets include Central Coast and Perth. Both have terrific facilities and a lot going for them."

13,000 was the crowd, they don't deserve a team yet according to JB and his whinging about 14,15,16,17,18 and 19k crowds in Sydney being too small for a national comp, whats that make 13 look like a for a game that had an academy award winner pushing it in the media?
Hey JB, you have dished it for years, now it's your turn to take it.
Make them work on it for another 6 years at least, we can't afford another Perth failure again.
No to NRL in Perth, they are not ready as they don't have the support, give the team to the CC, QLD, PNG or NZ.
Perth showed their true colours.
They'll only bring down RL again by not supporting it and then backstabbing it.
NO to PERTH.
NO to PERTH
NO to Perth.
13k is poor.

Dissapointed with the 13k, thought we'd get 15k+ but the Northern freeway was shut down for a bad RTA (didn't get to the game till 10mins after kick off and I set off at 6pm, normally takes me 20mins and I was at the front of the jam)
If you want RL to not reach it's full potential and remain played in few places yep, abandon all hope of ever competing with AFL and stick to your suburban comp.
Fortunately it seems that the NRL has woken up to the fact it needs big cities not little suburbs (4 top Sydney teams played on Friday night, good weather, all GF hopefuls and they couldn't draw 35k between them, ooops what was the Swans crowd the next night?).
Reds 2013 Back the Bid!

Origin at Subi edges closer to reality
SIXTY thousand feverish fans at a new-look Subiaco Oval feasting on a State-of-Origin rugby league clash is no fantasy.
Perth took a first step towards that goal on Saturday night when the South Sydney Rabbitohs hosted Melbourne Storm at ME Bank Stadium.
"It's not beyond the bounds of possibility. We've got our eye on Perth in terms of developing the code," said NRL boss David Gallop when asked whether the clash could be the start of a gloriously defining journey.
In recent years, Origin matches have been successfully hosted in Melbourne and the NRL has admitted considering New Zealand as a likely venue in an environment where cities are increasingly bidding for rights to host major sporting events.
However, at NRL HQ no one wants to look too far past the Rabbitohs-Storm game right now. Gallop has assured WA the NRL is looking to again plant its flag in Perth.
"We'll be looking at expansion plans in the next 12 months," he said of the fertile ground being cultivated by the dynamic new CEO of WA Rugby League, John Sackson, encouraging crowds at ME Bank Stadium and a sound economy.
"I believe WA offers one of the best potential growth areas for league in Australia," Sackson added. Beau Champion, top try-scorer for the Rabbitohs this season, described Perth as one of the areas probably offering the best growth potential for league in Australia.

13k.
Says it all really.
CC has been showing the NRL for 10 years now it can support a club, your mob gets one shot a year and they fail while the CC gets to see plenty of different teams a year, some they like which they turn up to watch and others they hate which they don't.
Your mob has 1 frigging game a year, if they want RL, it should sell out just like the gold coast did for years in a cr@p stadium to prove there was support.
Heck look at NZ yesterday, sing down rain and freezing yet they still had 20k turn up and it wasn't anywhere near Auckland, the South Island could and should have their own team.
I really do think the NRL has to make the reds prove they are capable of having a franchise that is worthy in the NRL over at least the next 6-8 years, so far they have shown shiite.
What's JB going to say if Adelaides crowd coming up gives the Reds a run or beats it, will Adelaide be worthy of a spot in the NRL JB?
