NRL Extension: 36 players who could make Rugby League’s new team
An 18th NRL team is on the horizon and a host of boom youngsters should be in the potential club’s sights. This is how the new team is set up.

But is there enough talent to support another franchise? And time?
Brent Read, Peter Badel, Michael Carayannis and Fatima Kdouh examine how a new club could build a squad of 36 players, including some outstanding talent.
Breakout Brisbane star Reece Walsh tops a list aimed at plundering existing teams’ junior ranks and stealing some from the Super League.
