  • The NRL is a couple of years away from becoming an 18-team competition, but why stop there? Matt Bungard takes a look at the future of the NRL.

The article from MSN discusses the potential expansion of the National Rugby League (NRL) by 2032, exploring various aspects of how the league might evolve. It mentions the NRL's ambition to grow from its current 17 teams, with potential new teams from cities like Perth, Adelaide, and even an additional team in New Zealand. The expansion is driven by the desire to increase the sport's footprint, both domestically and internationally, and to capitalize on the upcoming 2032 Brisbane Olympics. Key points include the financial implications, the need for new stadiums or upgrades, and the strategic considerations of market saturation versus growth. The article also touches on the cultural and logistical challenges of expanding into new regions, the importance of maintaining competitive balance, and the potential for new rivalries and fan bases. However, it notes that any expansion must be carefully planned to ensure sustainability and not dilute the quality of the competition.
