:roll: Heard all this for many years. Gets tiresome TBH

Could you imagine not having Cronulla to bitch about? How boring would that be?

Not as boring as having to watch them play every week

Charlie knows his stuff, he read it in the Terrorgraph.

None hopefully.

Cronulla looks most likely, although I expect that they could always liquidate assets if they desperately needed, eg sell Shark Park and play at the SFS/Kogarah/ANZ.

Melbourne might also be interesting if they have a lean run on field and show no progress in getting a fan base in Melbourne, and News get tired of paying for them.

Blah blah blah we've heard all this crap before, if it wasn't for News the Storm would cease to exist. If they ever decide to pull out bye bye storm. And if a club like Penrith goes league may as well give up.

You're a fugging boring as batsh*t nuffy and an embarrassment to other Rooster supporters. Unless you can supply facts to justify your stupid opinions, keep them to yourself, you dickwad oxygen thief.

With posts like the one below, you are clearly in need of urgent psychiatric help... :crazy:

MERGERS WONT WORK THERE NEEDS TO BE 4 NEW CLUBS IN SYDNEY. All the existing clubs will go back to the origional Sydney NSWRL comp they were in prior to 1988. Their they can maintain all their traditions and tribalisms while the code moves on.

Nicely done Nemisis! Starting to like you.

All the salary cap does is reward poor performers, and inhibit the good performers. The premier league in England is the strongest soccer comp in the world and they don't have a sallery cap. Man United were the richest most powerful club, but now other clubs have caught up. It's survibal of the fittest not the clubs who have all the history.
Clubs like Souths are trying to survive on emotion it simply is not enough.

Why the hell are people still trying to compare the NRL to the EPL? The non-use of the salary cap in that competition means only three or so sets of supporters can before a season genuinely think they have a pure shot at the title. We don't want that in our league? Why does it need to be survivle of the fittest? Do you prefer a competition where one team dominates for ten years, or a competition in which all of the clubs actually have a chance of taking the premiership at the end of a season?

So what if Souths are surviving on emotion? Do you want to cull them because they aren't performing? History is a major part of the league, you can't just abandon and forget that. We don't want to lose the passion.

I don't think any clubs will go broke in the next ten years..

And I damn well hope you're right. I respect the current crop of clubs.

Mate, you're just guessing. This should nearly be in the 'Rumoured Signings Thread'.

I'm pretty sure the storm have a larger revenue than most clubs in rugby league. The only reason the club spends so big is because it has news limited behind it.

Next year when we are in our new stadium this will be a moot point anyway cause increased memberships/crowds will ensure the storms future.

I'm surprised so many are saying souths. Their membership/ST holders are exploding right now. I know some people will come back and say they are bandwagon fans but why jump on when the team isn't doing all that good? I could understand that argument if souths just made the top 4 or something but they didn't. I really don't see souths going anywhere.

In the near future the only 2 clubs i see going broke are penrith and the sharks.

 

[marshall stalin]

cronulla - hence why they should merge with st george -illawarra
souths- hence why they should merge with norths and relocate to the central coast.

I picked my own club. we are 2 seasons of bad weather away from insolvency. hell, we are technically insolvent at various times throughout the year.

our CEO is doing exactly the right thing in looking at other business models. i'm expecting the Knights to be partly (or fully privatised) within 2 years - and I think if the members knock it back half the admin will resign. Tinkler will buy in, and overnight we will be a powerhouse.

Rubbish. Storm spend well over what some clubs do simply because they can. News go, it merely brings Melbourne down a peg or two.

I applaud your honesty Mac.

Tinkler is your man and if (I reckon it's when) you get him as owner, I'm thinking more nuclear power station than powerhouse. ;-)

I don't think we will have to wait for 10 years for it to happen. I expect some clubs to be broke and out of business within the next 12 months.

It might have been better to allow multiple selections for this poll. I suspect there will be more then one club to go broke. But given the choice of only selecting one team I chose the Sharks.

I chose the Sharks but winning the premiership (yeah I know Cronulla and Premiership in the same sentence) could be the financial windfall they need.

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

Wow, Tigers and Titans yet to get a vote.

 

[Lycon79]

I can see the Broncos crashing and burning on 8 straight years of poor performance.

What drugs are you on ???:crazy::lol:
