I'm sure Taipan has explained the Sharks finicall status enough times in the Expansion subWhich Sydney base clubs are you stronger than financially?

That's not what I asked.I'm sure Taipan has explained the Sharks finicall status enough times in the Expansion sub
Wests Tigers are probably in the most danger with the Balmain half of the merger now virtually gone and hardly anybody turns up to Campbelltown when the Tigers do play there.
I do like the idea of the Dragons moving to the Gong fulltime as their side is virtually an Illawarra Steelers in St George jerseys anyway.
When Balmain go broke and the NRL finally have enough, Western Suburbs will re-emerge from the ashes and take the full control in name and logo etc thus bringing back the crowds.
Wollongong Dragons as a rebrand. Give them one game a year at the Kogarah dump to appease the St George flogs.
Relocate Canterbury to Adelaide because we don't want them in Sydney anymore.
Put Parramatta in Perth so we can't hear their asinine dribble.
Build a 25k stadium in Liverpool and relocate Wests.You made sense until you went on about relocating Canterbury and Parramatta.
You must have a job with the Western Sydney Wanderers to come up with that.
Canterbury is probably the richest Sydney club in the competition and has a massive fanbase to go with it, Parramatta are the same despite their recent off field problems.
Removing those two will be an instant free pass for the Western Sydney Wanderers to further take over Western Sydney.
If the Dragons rebrand they should just drop the St George out of the name and just be called Illawarra Dragons.
The Tigers should become the Western Suburbs Magpies anyway.
The old Balmain area is now a hotbed for soccer, most people in Leichhardt don't give a shit about league.
Why do that when you have a decent stadium at Campbelltown that holds 22k? They could easily re-develop that (put a grandstand at the end of the ground near the athletics track and place in a permanent scoreboard). Boost the capacity.
So all those fans who packed out Leichhardt 5 years or so ago have went over to SoccerYou made sense until you went on about relocating Canterbury and Parramatta.

I think you'll find Gould is strongly in favour of a second Brisbane franchise.Had a bit of a chat with Gus on twitter and he was hands-over-ears-la-la-la utterly against expansion. Possibly the most insular person in Rugby League.

If Balmain go down the shitter, I wonder what the future would be for Wests.
Balmain provided the vast majority of the fans for the JV but Wests have plenty of coin. It would happen never happen but a Western Suburbs Panthers "super club" would be amazing. 8 games at Penrith, 4 at Campbelltown with revenue coming from 3 huge licensed clubs.
The Tigers brand could move to Perth and play a game per year at Leichhardt.
As usual, the expansion forum takes me on a journey beyond possible realities.
Penrith and Campbelltown are 50kms apart...
Also, not sure why Wests Ashfield who now own 75% of the Wests Tigers would be interested in becoming Phil Gould's biatch...
