Don’t know what u mean I can only comment on my culture the Lebanese.@Nasheed is the NRL ready for an Indian team? population of over 1.2b, surely your lot can come up with 15-20 NRL standard players?
NowPerth is by far and away the obvious next choice.
Being an Aussie living in NZ, I wish I could argue a case for a second NZ team - but they don't deserve it to be honest. It's hard enough getting Aucklanders to care, let alone the rest of the country. I blame the Warriors mostly. If they'd won a Premiership I have no doubts we'd have a better case for a second team.
Mate…WTF…? Clearly you have never been to the ground. It’s a great place to watch footy and cricket…Even if it is a horrible place to watch games with it being an oval.
Perth bears thanksWest Coast Pirates
If they want the Bears in, rebrand the shitty Titans as the Burleigh Bears.
I went once.. I hate watching League games at Cricket Ovals in general. I've been to a bunch of games at the SCG too. Even the good seats have a shit view compared to a rectangular stadiumMate…WTF…? Clearly you have never been to the ground. It’s a great place to watch footy and cricket…
Yeah it’s one of the silliest ideas imaginable.A Pacific Island team would be unsustainable. Can't see how they would fund it.
Perth should be the next team included.
No drama with the rest of yo post bro but step back and re-read this one. It’s ridiculous.4) Don't mind the Pasifika idea but thinking it's sounds like it might be too hard to work properly tbh. Maybe they could be based out of Darwin instead of Qld (if flight connections were direct) to gain some extra local support and play at least one game per year in Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu and Fiji plus 2 games in PNG. However not a preferred option. Not sure exactly how Moana Pasifika is set up in Super Rugby.
Yep which is why I don't think Pacifika will work. The suggested base of Cairns I also don't believe will work. Probably should have just said the concept is a bad idea in my initial comments. Also nobody is expecting 13,000 crowds in Tonga it was simply about taking a game there and it certainly won't be making money.No drama with the rest of yo post bro but step back and re-read this one. It’s ridiculous.
Why would we have a Tongan team out of Darwin? No one would get behind that.
The Moana Super Rugby team I also don’t fully know about but Union is the dominant code in Tonga and Fiji (Fiji da big population centre) and fiddy fiddy in Samoa. So they have more groundswell but even so I’ll be surprised if they is profitable. They have Al peer salary cap and as a state team (kind) they just need 30 Guys signed up.
I see no evidence Vanuatu ppl like league.
And If you hold the game in Nuku alofa (capital of tonga for example) and exactly half the population rock up that’s only a crowd of 13000
I think you were spitballing and brainstorming out loud which is understandable but it’s unworkable.Yep which is why I don't think Pacifika will work. The suggested base of Cairns I also don't believe will work. Probably should have just said the concept is a bad idea in my initial comments.
