NRL’s bold plan to split competition into two conferences as part of expansion push – Sydney Morning Herald
The plans have the backing of one of the game’s most influential figures, with Wayne Bennett throwing his support behind the concept.
One of the conference ideas revolves around creating more Sydney rivalries, placing the Roosters, Rabbitohs, Eels, Bulldogs, Tigers, Panthers, Dragons, Sharks and Sea Eagles into one Sydney conference. All teams in the Sydney conference would play each other twice, and play the remaining nine teams once in a 25 round season.
The other conference would include new teams in Brisbane, which is expected to be added into the competition in 2023, and a second team in New Zealand in the following years.
