It doesn't look like either code does, but the NRL can afford to build one.

Just move the Titans.
From my understanding the Club Rugby scene in Perth is very healthy.
Rebels merging with the Brumbies was the sensible option. Victorian players have moved north for 100 years.
WA Government is apparently planning to sue the ARU for 100 Million dollars because they built a Stadium thinking the Force would use it.
EDIT: And now a Senate inquiry has been approved into the ARU's process.
Terrible try. Wtf is Richardson doing?
Also why is Barba in charge of kicking on the last tackle? They've all been crap. He doesn't seem to be able to catch kicks either. Probably off his head.
And why does Lomax play a different position every game?
Saints are in turmoil. We don't deserve to make the semis.
I'm a twit
I thought they would play Ben Barba in the halves when they signed him because shunting Jonny Lomax out of position would have been stupid. But there you go.
And as if Rovers sacked Chris Chester instead of every single player.

Scott Grix is such a brainless pleb at times. Just kick it out mate.
Manly look quite well placed to win one in the next few years (if they get Matt Moylan it is ON), but the prospect of a Roosters vs Storm final is a real turn-off so long as one of them has to win.
Going up.
Toronto got promoted just now in front of 7972 people, which is only a couple of hundred less than watched Rovers do likewise. Transatlantic rugby league.
Steady on mate. Won't somebody think of Halifax?The man behind the launch of Toronto Wolfpack has revealed plans are already advanced for a second Canadian team to enter the Rugby Football League in two years’ time. Hamilton is understood to be a likely destination for the new venture and the Toronto chief executive, Eric Perez, said: “Within six months, the world will know about the next Canadian side coming in for 2019, so get ready.” Perez also revealed his desire for a northern hemisphere league to be created within the next 10 years, allowing the best rugby league sides on both sides of the Atlantic to combine forces.
After seeing what the All-Blacks did to South Africa, I'm less appalled by our performances against them.
57-0 isn't the kind of scoreline that has any positives whatsoever to draw.
Untill the Boks belt us in South Africa.
At this point I should feel sorry for Mitch Pearce.
Michael Morgan though.
The Catalans are the most useless twats imaginable (other than the Warriors obviously). Super League should just step in now and relegate Leigh.
Wigan.

I think they had to win 120-0 today to leapfrog Saints. Between them being rubbish and Tony Smith being FOUND OUT it's been an alright season.
PNG won the Queensland Cup.
PNG are getting good at cricket as well. Have they strengthened economic ties or something?
Im pretty sure the mining up there has given them some cash. There are also a few rich Queenslanders involved in League up there as well. Historically they have always been close to QLD sporting wise as their best League and Union players have played in the State for as long as I can remember.
If they had an NRL team it would be pretty amazing, Nobody in their right mind would move there (maybe Todd Carney), so it would have to be entirely indigenous, and they would lose every game 40-12 (all three tries being length of the field efforts) but take out at least four opposition players doing so. Stanley Gene is probably still fit enough for a game as well.
Baz! It's happening!
I was going to have a bet on St Helens for this at 9/4 - not because I know anything about rugby league, but because I know 'Cas' are a crap club having their best ever season and St Helens are the opposite, so obviously because this is sport the latter will win a semi-final.
I didn't though, because I'm a mug.
It’s because I’ve tuned in for a change.
Not just their best ever season. They have been hammering everybody. You could almost excuse them losing the Grand Final to Leeds, but muffing it up at this stage will be the biggest BOTTLE JOB in years.
Luke 'Hairline' Gale though.
Picked a good match to watch eh
Fuck off Sunt Elens.
He's going to win us the World Cup.
At least Castleford should be more likely to beat Leeds in the final.
Just beat 'em mate.
Brad Thorn is now head coach at the Reds.
You would think Matty Smith would be on kicking, especially when he offers so little else, so that is an odd one.
Who the hell writes this headline without using 'mauled'?

Are the South African teams a popular addition?
lol get lost Leigh. Come back in 2019 when they go [back] to fourteen teams.
Tonga World Cup squad: Andrew Fifita, Mahe Fonua, David Fusitu’a, Siliva Havili, Ata Hingano, Will Hopoate, Konrad Hurrell, Michael Jennings, Solomone Kata, Sione Katoa, Samisoni Langi, Tuimoala Lolohea, Sika Manu, Manu Ma’u, Sam Moa, Ben Murdoch Masila, Joe Ofahengaue, Tevita Pangai junior, Ukuma Ta’ai, Sio Siua Taukieaho, Jason Taumalolo, Peni Terepo, Daniel Tupou, Manu Vatuvei.
That is a serious side, and New Zealand (without Kieran Foran, Issac Luke, and the cocaine idiots) look as weak as they have been in ten years. Having said that, they will still find a way to beat us. Especially now that our best full-back appears to have finally ruined his career.
I'm going to assume 'Lebanon' and 'Italy' are just Australian E and F teams.
Essentially. The Italy squad is pretty great. In amongst all of the eighteen year olds with foreign grandparents and reserve grade nobodies you have Wigan (and future England) centre Oliver Gildart, Matty Johns' son, the best full-back in the world James Tedesco, knackered legend Terry Campese, and Mirco Bergamasco moonlighting as a goal-kicking centre for a free holiday.
Bergamasco is in the Italy squad? What a don.
What's Hardaker done then?
Must be fairly serious to get bunted from the Grand Final.
Whatever it is is meant to have happened a few weeks ago, so he will have either failed a drug test or got into another 'incident' on the town.
It’ll be coke.
