Message: [QUOTE="Jedhead, post: 3484724, member: 9518"] I think many forget that much of the Dolphins early success (despite limited prep. time) is down to them having arguably the best coach Australia has ever produced. If/when/should the NRL decide to expand further they need to ensure those clubs are given a minimum of two years to prepare for the entry into the comp. I expect Benny will have retired by then so none of them are going to have the experience of a master coach to start them off. As much as I'd like to see another Qld. team I do think we need to first consider other states to make it a truly "National" competition. My preference would be Perth, followed quickly by Adelaide. First and foremost though they need to ensure that the NRL operations team have a fully structured juniors competition. We simply cannot sustain another two "Storms" who have developed virtually no one from Victoria and instead cannibalized the rest of the Eastern seaboard and NZ since their inception. Developing local talent is a must if the standards of the NRL are to be maintained. Anything less will simply water our game down to such a degree that the whole comp could implode and collapse due to apathy. [/QUOTE]
