The NRL has tried to promote into SA and WA and wants a team in Perth.  But Adelaide and Perth are not on the same level as Sydney and Brisbane (and Melbourne).  Both the NRL and AFL realised very quickly that if you want to grow the game they needed to have a strong presence in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.  That is where the audience is, that is where the decision makers in the TV networks and the sponsors reside.
