With all the talk in the NRL about expansion, am I the only who thinks there are three areas that are a must for 2013? I nominate Perth, Central Coast, and another team in Queensland.
1. The Central Coast is a logical choice. It shows the NRL is still a community competition and strengthens one of the strongholds of the game. The Bears’ bid is looking pretty good, but should they be the only contender for this area? If there is another group who thinks they have better team for Gosford, then let them bid as well.
2. Queensland is another one of our strongholds that is the fastest growing state of Australia and to put a team into an area that is growing is a great idea. Also, let the Queenslanders decide where it goes. This will have most Queenslanders debating where to put it, hence killing off the Suns’ free publicity for the next two years.
3. I saved Perth for last because there is only going to be two new teams, which means relocation. And I know I will get bagged for this. In my opinion, if Perth wants a team, it needs to be a relocated team.
Really, there are only five choices. First, Melbourne. This won’t work because its a privately own club and we need a team in Melbourne. Second, the Roosters, but you just can’t relocate the Sydney team. Third, Bulldogs? Ain’t going to happen, so forget about it. Fourth and fifth comes down to two things: crowds and money, so if it’s between the Slivertails and Sharks, it has to be the Sharks.
