Why don't the NRL expand across first?

E.G

South Australia / Northern Territory THEN WA / TAS

Problem is, the game doesn't seem to have many followers it seems in those areas. That's where AFL kills it.
What is going to happen first in a location, a top flight team or a reasonable fan base?

Living in Brisbane, it's obvious to me a second team in Logan / Ipswich is needed (as well as Perth),

Brisbane should have had a second team two decades ago. They should have had a third team 5 years ago. Massive failure by RL on that front.

If they pay the dollars Origin will be played in WA.

It wont be long before a game will be played in Japan / Hong Kong / Middle East!
I have been saying for years, the Middle East needs a strong rugby league comp
How good would their SOO be 50000 lebs in wigs " Bilals blues "

The only other place outside our Eastern states SOO will get numbers is NZ to be honest.

I don't mind the game expanding into other areas but I don't think there's enough good quality players to fill more teams atm.

In regards to origin going to Perth I'd much rather a game is played there then in Melbourne, at least there are people in Perth who follow and understand the game.
The AFL expanded with the Suns & GWS a few years ago. These 2 teams are starting to become half decent teams now.
