Total waste of time if a new NRL franchise in Adelaide is not being planned for the near future.

Perth, Adelaide and PNG should all have an NRL franchise.

I agree, but Perth, Brisbane 2, and Wellington, and maybe even PNG, are way ahead of Adelaide in the pecking order. |

Perth certainly did, I think Adelaide did, but am not certain.
Back when the NRL were split into 2 ( SL/NRL had 2 competing competitions back in 97/98 I think). Not sure how long/if they lasted when the NRL rejoined into being 1 league again. |

No. I'm at work and an Australian guy I work with reckons Brisbane beat Hunter Mariners in the final ( and as he's a Brisbane fan, I guess he would know).
To be honest, the only thing I vaguely remember about the competition, was that because of the format it went on for ages. And that the British sides were rubbish. |

There was a club in Adelaide, and in another in Perth, when Rupert Murdoch set up a Super League competition as rival to the ARL. The SL club was called the Adelaide Rams. It did OK IIRC.
Adelaide Rams and Perth Reds were both disbanded when the Super League-ARL war ended and the new single NRL was formed without Adelaide or Perth. That was a dumb move.

I was at a Broncos game at the end of last year and they replayed the London v Canberra game which London won at the Stoop, 20 years to the day I believe. Meninga was coach of the green ,machine, they had Ricky Stewart, Laurie Daly in the halves plus many more stars. I was surprised at just how fast the game was played. |

It was against Adelaide where Paul Sterling scored his full length effort at Headingley if I remember rightly.

I actually think it's abit of a Myth that the games faster now.
I think the players are bigger and fitter now certainly. But some of the rule changes and lack of regarding the ruck have slowed it down.
Plus from vague memories there was less one man rugby, more offloads. But I could be wrong.
Weren't Canberra one of the big Australian teams back then? |
