Explains why you're so happy then


55 years of top flight RL in WA? Really?


Challenge Cup final.....how many major competition finals have WA been to?
Virgin were worth more than £1,500,000.....and the current owner ploughs £1,500,000 of his own money in now......that's pounds.



Abject failure.......except they are still in ESL and will be next year....but it's nice that you show your true colours. You're not for expansion...you're only for expansion on your terms. Very small minded.



I repeat, WA are the obvious choice, but like the fantasy posts regarding 300k sydney RL fans, 80,000 brisbane RL fans and the RLWC getting more viewers around the world than the other one.......you need to keep your feet on the ground. If you don't like the idea of London RL being compared then how about Victoria?
Melbourne has a massive population, also drawn from around Australia and the globe.....more people watch soccer there than the storm...they are on the up and that's brilliant, but once their honeymoon was over they struggled for 4 years on sub 10k's.....
.....all I am saying is that when you get the nod, as you will, THAT is when the hard work starts.

Meninga Backs WA for NRL Team Quote Rugby league legend Mal Meninga believes it is inevitable that WA will join the National Rugby League. How it happens is another matter. The record-breaking former Australian, Queensland and Canberra Raiders captain and Maroons State of Origin coach said the new NRL commission would need to make tough decisions over the expansion that was expected to include a WA Reds side within three years. Meninga said a priority was ensuring a good spread of talented players. "The issue is not about Perth coming back into the competition it's about how you do that," Meninga said. "It's inevitable and it's important that WA is included in any expansion if we are going to be a truly national rugby league. '" au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sport/ ... -nrl-team/
