So you dont answer the question yet again. I will ask once more. Do you support a team from PNG or Perth to be the next teams to join the NRL?

Simple yes or no will do.

i answered it twice before

You havent answered the question i have asked? Simple yes or no will suffice.

He has answered it and the answer is no! He thinks that 100 years and 14 out of 16 clubs isn't enough to "strengthen the heartlands"!

at least you can read.

you really have to wonder about the intelligence of some of the poeple on here

the funny thing is weve gone from flat cappers not caring about French expansion teams in SL to discussing the relative merits of expansion teams in australia

for those that are interested :

the NRL is in drastic need of money to raise the salary cap to stop players leaving for SL, union and AFL. our current TV deal is poor relative to AFL.

so at the moment we need clubs who can expand the value of the TV deal the most

the 2 newest clubs who would do that are a queensland club first and then central coast.

in the case of SL would adding widnes or leigh result in a large increase in TV rights? nope.

with the addition of the Gold Coast titans in the NRL TV ratings in the brisbane market are up something like 15% whilst other sports have had falling TV ratings

more queensland teams means more games in queensland involving one of their teams than an out of town team.

for the record, JB says the NRL should go to perth and forget about central coast.

but guess what, when it comes to SL he sure can justify a place for Hull KR (his own club)

He doesn't need to justify a place for Hull KR, they are already in the league



And did he say forget about CC? Or did he say it is more important for the game that Perth comes first?

And what would the TV ratings increase be if Perth got an NRL team? There isn't anything to compare it with. Would NSW see much of an increase, seeing as it already has 10 teams? It's a pretty saturated market.

Did the inclusion of Celtic Crusaders see a TV increase?

Why am I even bothering, he doesn't answer the hard questions.

How ironic. Troll

So we can take it from that, that you only support expansion to increase revenue and not for the spreading of the game. So your not actually a fan of expansion at all. Infact we can take it, that you would have all the teams in Sydney if it increased the TV money. True colours well and truely been shown there.

So the facts are - your not a supporter of expansion - you just want more money for the current clubs. Sounds like your the biggest "corkcapper" on here.

Corkcapper

Your right - will edit my post now!

no, just that at this point in time, expansion taht increases the TV rights is more important.

at at later date when there is enough money from TV deals i want teams in PNG, perth and NZ.

still its nice to see you being SO interested in NRL expansion.

real shame this interest doesnt manifest itself with your own league

again for the idiots, Central coast is not part of sydney.

nor is queensland

just to confuse my already muddled friends here, i consider salford to be an expansion club too

Talking to yourself now? You must be used to that having no friends, living your pitiful existence from your keyboard. Get a life sad act.

And this applies to you as well corckcapper. You have no interest in expanding the game. You just want to feather the nests of existing clubs by getting more tv money. You have a country on your door step that has RL as it's national sport and you don't want to expand there next as the money isn't right. Shame on you and your small narrow minded views.

Dally that's just insane.

Whether or not Salford ever do crack the Manchester market, they are in no sense an expansion club.

if they crack a large market that isnt interested in them now, then clearly thats its expansion

ill bet this is the most youve talked about expansion in your life

well done for taking a big bold step

So every club is an expansion club then?

thats why this thread is so long.

yes thats the logical conclusion to make from the previous comment

So how the hell can anyone not be for expansion then if that's your logic?!



He just gets stupider every post!

So Wakefield are an expansion club as well then, as they are trying to crack a large market that is South Yorkshire (Barnsley area).

Oh, and it's OK for SL to waste TV money on expansion clubs (wait, I thought that was every club) but the NRL (the bigger competition) must look after its own first before going more national.

You must have been bullied at school if you talked this much rubbish back then as well

Dally, is this a Challenger tank or an expansion tank?

this thread just gets weirder and weirder.

tanks, people that keep trying to get me to reply when ive been ignoring them for a year.

it looks like this has run its natural course.

it was amusing but ill bet nothing changes

go to a thread on toulose, paris, CC and youll find the same suspects posting the same BS.

they just ruin the interesting threads.

i leave the threads alone which im not interested in, so should they!
