Surely you don't have an issue with Brisbane getting a second team?
No, I don’t have an issue with a new Brisbane team but I would have thought that to truely “expand the market” then you would look outside of the existing market.
I was actually in favour of 2 new teams.
One new Brisbane team was fine, but also one “NEW market” team. (Adelaide or Perth). This at least works towards a truely ”National” RL competition.
2 new teams also means another game each week.
I don’t really understand how “1 new team, let’s have a bye each week” improves the NRL’s negotiation position when it comes to a new TV/media deal.
My biggest fear now thou, is the next ”expansion” team will still be based on the East Coast (ie NSW Central Coast, or Brisbane’s Sunshine Coast) and we still don’t have a “National“ representation or even working towards one.
