Peter Beattie supported the introduction of the Dolphins to the NRL and now has a suggestion for the 18th team.  

Peter Beattie told Peter Gleeson on 4BC Drive, “It’s no secret I was a strong supporter of the Dolphins and them coming into the competition.”

“Look, the reality for us though, is that we have to look at how the game is growing,” he said.

“My view is you got to bring in PNG and make sure you include some of the Pacific Islands and all of that means you’re getting this rapidly growing area.”
