NRL Expansion?

Question

The NRL apparently wants to expand the competition to 20 teams by around 2015.

What areas do you think they should expand the extra four teams to.

I would choose these areas

Christchurch

PNG

Central Coast, NSW

Western Australia

Answer 1

wellington- i know cuzns there and i here the area loves footy

adelaide- would be good for expansion of the game

perth- same reason as above

and maybe somewhere in queensland or melbourne

BUT DEFINATELY NOT ANOTHER TEAM IN THE SYDNEY AREA, WE ALREADY GOT LIKE 8 TEAM WITHIN 2 HOURS OF DISTANCE.

Answer 2

if the NRL were to expand central coast would be a certainty as they would have john singleton to pay the bills.... as for the other areas you mention don't think they would be viable........ NZ is dominated by rugby, the warriors struggle to get good crowds as it is, so at this point they cant have a second team..... PNG as much as i would like to have a team from there they don't have the resources or facility's so no to them..... WA tried it once and it failed miserably, i cant see the NRL going back there again!

having said all that i would much prefer to see the north Sydney bears and newtown jets back in the big time

Answer 3

nth sydney

wests

balmain

st george

Answer 4

CENTRAL COAST - definately (one of our own, not a dodgy Northern Eagles joke again)

Another Brisbane or surrounds Team

Maybe another FNQ Team (Based in Cairns)

Maybe try Perth again...

Answer 5

the west side of australia are all afl mad.. wuldnt be smart to make a team out their no1 wuld turn up! lol maybe somwhere in hobart and anotha 1 in nz..

Answer 6

Queensland would have two and one team in two of NZ, VIC, SA or WA.

Answer 7

Get another Qld city, Qld country team, relocate melbourne to the NSW Central Coast and maybe a PNG team.  It is a waste of time and money to have any teams out of the main Rugby League areas.  I would rather see the teams grow in these areas than try to push more in afl areas.

Answer 8

-West Brisbane or Toowoomba

-Central Coast

-Perth

-Another one in NZ

-PNG

and maybe adelaide if they can support themselves this time.

Answer 9

New 4 teams

-Central Coast Bears

-Sunshine Coast Rays

-WA Reds

-Christchurch Vulcans

Answer 10

They only need two more

Sunshine Coast (QLD)

Central Coast (NSW)

No other area's are sustainable for the game.

Answer 11

Toowoomba hasent even got a QLD cup team no more which suks cuz i live there, so i cant see them havin 1.

Central Coast, NSW

two more in QLD and 1 in PNG. The other states r 2 soft and usless 2 have another crack at the NRL

Answer 12

chirtchurch, wouldnt be able to support it self, i would say wellington instead,

then central coast, perth, and png

brisbane is also rich enough to support another team

Answer 13

1. Christchurch or Wellington (don't really know much about league in NZ, so whichever one's got more league-ies).

2. Torres Strait - (Cairns + Port Moresby combined for financial reasons) + (and make the NQ Cowboys, the Townsville Cowboys)

3. Adelaide (revive the Rams!!!!)

4. Central Coast, NSW

(Maybe Perth, but it's probably too far away for travel reasons)

Answer 14

Yeah i think they are a good four.. it'd be awesome to have another team done here in Melbourne but then Storm wouldnt be storm.. if u no what i mean...?

but yeah i agree with the 4 u said =D

Answer 15

why would they do that they can fill the grounds now
