A 3rd NZ team in the aleague before Canberra? the aussies would be furious!
Also, of the three consortiums battling for the non-exiatent second NRL spot who would be keen on funding a footy team? They al seem to be very fixated on the league option.

Well if Canberra can't raise the funds/get their shark together, that's ACT's problem. I mean obviously the Australian football community would prefer the next expansion franchise was based there, but I doubt they would get that hung up on it. Auckland have mostly been embraced in Oz, and seen as a well overdue good news story - when there is so much otherwise negative stuff about the health of the ALM/ALW.

Maybe all the league backers (Orcas, Keas, dreamers etc) are yes just all died in the wool league nuts. But maybe amongst them is a born & bred Cantab general sports fan or too, keen to bring something exciting and new to their home city.

I mean Foley has gone from ice hockey to football. Are all of the Welnix guys keen football fans? Can Gareth Morgan explain the offside rule?
If you are an aged (Moffett is 78) wealthy businessman in the Sth Island keen to start up a new franchise based at the flash new stadium, you could well be deceased before an NRL team happens.

2033 is your earliest chance of that dream happening, and even then it's likely another South East QLD team. There is now about 4M people living within 1-2 hours of Brissy, so a 4th NRL club would probably do well, especially if firmly based in lower socio Logan/Ipswich making it feel like a proper community club with an identity. In another 8 years (2033) it will be 4.5M plus in the SE QLD pocket.
