You gotta say the man is a real thinker , now he wants to buy a private Jet to cut down on the massive travel budget.

Having been involved in this industry the costs of moving a team from say Sydney to Townsville , accomodating them for 3 nights is enormous, as this might sound it could actually work!!

If they are going to buy a jet now is the time, plenty of them unused costing airlines plenty of money at the moment.

Just lease one of Virgins .. maybe they have one or two sitting around

Might be a part time job for you @Mark from Brisbane ?

Borrow one of uncle Nicks. Sure he has 40 or so.


edit: I may add, they are damn expensive (not that that should surprise anyone).

Especially one big enough to transport an NRL team and support staff around , circa 40 million I’d reckon.

BUT in all seriousness the NRL travel budget would be 10-20 million per annum.

Lease it

Might give tv less grip of the draw as they try to schedule games with routes

Get a sponsorship from a fuel company

It's his sneaky way of bringing the Jets back into the competition.

Taking all your money then getting you nowhere - like Todd when he quit the nrl

A used Q400 for around $20M would do the job perfectly. Probably even cheaper right now.

But we all know the old adage: "If it flies, floats or f--ks...rent it.

Good choice for Interstate , not a Jet but much cheaper to run and almost as fast.

I think the only issue is range , wouldn’t get to NZ I think and would need a fuel stop if playing in Perth.

The Boeing 717’s being used by Alliance ( which they are using ) would do the job.
