Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2415417, member: 1899"] I don't think there should be any real hurry to expand the game just yet. The IC has to make sure there's a solid base to expand from first. That means monitoring the health of struggling clubs like Cronulla, Manly & the Gold Coast, not to mention Melbourne who could be at risk once this six year $25million deal with the IC finishes. There are also bigger priorities - such as negotiating a superior television deal. Rugby League needs better nation wide coverage, we can't just hand Perth or Adelaide a license when their own state can't watch them live on tv. The IC need to learn from past mistakes if they want to truly grow the game. Once that's determined then they can consider which options the best. When it comes to current bids, for mine Perth is the ideal location for all the reasons Coxy listed. But in terms of who has the best bid in terms of organisation, well that would be the Central Coast. For mine though, the CC is just way too safe and while I'd have them before a number of current NRL sides (Cronulla, Manly, Souths) I just don't think there would be a big enough return by putting a team out there. At least under the current make up of the competition. [/QUOTE]
