    NRL expansion into New Zealand appears back on the table

    NRL expansion into New Zealand appears back on the table


    For the second time in three weeks, chief executive Andrew Abdo has suggested the league could support an extra two teams and move to an 18-team competition.

    Abdo's earmarking a second Brisbane club by 2023, and the building of a business case for another New Zealand-based side after that.

    As an example, the extra Brisbane team's estimated to be worth around 50 million dollars per season to the sport.
