    Billionaire's English NRL team bid


    Marwan Koukash behind bid to introduce English franchise into NRL

    "The team would come over to Australia to play all of its away games. Over three months they would play about a dozen games.
    "Then we would come back to England and host an Aussie team every week. The way we would do it is we'd take it to places like London, Manchester, areas outside the traditional geographical area of rugby league here.
    "Imagine bringing Souths and Brisbane and playing in London against a British team. That would be massive.
    "Some of those games could be played in places like Dubai and [Las] Vegas. It's about growing the sport globally."
