Looks like we have brokered a deal with the NT government, and signed NT Tourism as a second tier sponsor, to play two home games in Darwin.

Don't find it surprising and think it's a good move by the club. Clearly we want to put our stamp on the area and beat a few other clubs who could potentially do the same thing. Plenty of opportunity for the club to grow itself up there as well, and obviously money will play a factor in it as well.
Thoughts?
