“Obviously the four teams that are here now are loving it.
“But is it looking like we are going to change teams every year and are the CEO’s over here and pitching for that?”

“All the club CEO’s have arrived yesterday,” Riccio said on NRL 360.

“A lot of them wanted to sit back and relax and see how it unfolded.
“Nobody predicted what has unfolded currently and I understand the NRL will make a move sooner rather than later to give those clubs and their fans, corporates and sponsors time to and a maximum amount of opportunity to get here.”
“So you don’t think it will be the same four teams next year?” Anasta asked.
“No I don’t,” Riccio replied.
Paul Kent believes the NRL need to make a decision on the next four teams for 2025 soon and give the fans of four new sides the opportunity to be a part of history next year.
“They absolutely should get the opportunity and within six weeks the NRL should announce who the four teams are, so all the teams can bring in their pitch,” Kent said.

“Then the fans have got a good 10 months to plan and start to plan their holidays and time off and raise the money to get over here.
“They need to get on it early, so the teams can get here and the fans can get here to follow their team.”
The Courier Mail’s Pete Badel revealed that Wayne Bennett already has an angle for the Dolphins ot be involved.
“You know Kenty, Wayne Bennett is pitching up already,” Badel said.
“The Miami Dolphins are over here, so that is Wayne’s pitch to get the Dolphins here. He loves Sin City.”
“But Wayne isn’t even coaching the Dolphins next year,” Kent interjected.
“He will come over for the junket,” Badel said.
