There is little to no possibility of any more poker machine licences being issued so the only way that new clubs can access that form of money is through a redistribution of existing licences. That is not going to happen so the non pokie clubs have to find some other source of funds or go into some tiered partnership with the established four.
Tuggeranong had a perfect opportunity to get access to poker machine funding when they had the chance to join with the old Weston Creek Wildcats, which would have meant they would have been backed by the Labor Club/s. It's a shame it didn't happen.
I know what Ghost Buster said about Kade coaching Qbn next year was pretty accurate, but I'd bet money that he isn't Ghost Buster. I'll ask him tomorrow when he takes the boys for the first training session of the premiership defence.
