NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......

World club nines : Tue Jul 22, 2014 10:27 am  
Wonder where it would fit in the calendar. May need SL to kick off a week later? Be good if they included a couple of French clubs and the png and future Fiji clubs.



The man whose net worth is estimated at $3 billion revealed he is in negotiations to stage a nines tournament, featuring NRL and Super League clubs, in Dubai. However, his priority is to take a stake of an Australian franchise, preferably as a sole owner.
Koukash said he is using his business connections to expand rugby league internationally.
"I've started talking to people about the possibility of having a nines competition here in Dubai," he said.
"This is a sporting country. When they had the sevens here over three days there were 180,000 people.
"We're talking something similar to the Auckland nines here. You could keep that one in Auckland and one here with Super League and NRL clubs. That's more international. I see the nines as a way of globalising the sport.
"We used to have five-day Test cricket and then we had the 50-over game and the shorter form to help popularise the sport overall. I see this similarly, The nines can help globalise the sport."

Toulouse for Championship in 2017, Super League in 2021!

Avignon for Championship in 2021, Super League in 2022!

Good idea. The Koukash chap has enterprise and initiative that is totally absent from the leadership of the RFL. However I fear that Nigel Wood could oppose the idea because he didn't think of it, and thus it reflects on his own incompetence.

I would love to see that happen, if not in Dubai then maybe Cape Town, South Africa.

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!

Re: World club nines : Tue Jul 22, 2014 5:52 pm  
This is the Koucash who reckons he is more Australian than Australians. He's planned on moving to Oz for a long time.

No he doesn't say what he thinks people want to hear at all now does he pmsl. You are all being played. All swooning at his feet. Don't say I didn't warn you.

$3billion? Where the hell do these estimates of Koukash's wealth come from? They seem to triple every week. The start-point for the Sunday Times rich list is £70million (Aus$125million)and he isn't on that.

Not saying he's potless, but like pretty much everything about the man it's laughably inflated by credulous hacks.

Campaigning for a deep attacking line

A world club 9's in Dubai would be great. It's the place to attract some money to the sport.

It's fine if you don't care how clean that money is, and you don't mind playing RL in 40 degree heat in slave-built stadiums.

Union 7's seem to manage. And I'm not sure RL can be too picky as to where it's money comes from.
