Let's get serious. It's time that we looked at mergers. All of us. What we need is for every club in NSW to merge into a single club, playing in brown jerseys and called the omni all-state mega giants and they can play against the Brisbane-NZ War horses and the South East Asia Cowboys out of Jakarta. You see if we merge these teams and only really give a damn about the biggest markets then we'll have a really super neato quality and it will be like State of Origin every week except for 20 years from now when we no longer have enough juniors.
With a nifty new NRL-Ultra it won't matter that we'll have opened up all of our markets to AFL and rugby union expansion. Disenfranchised fans right across the country are expendible. Stuff 'em I say, let them go.
Obviously though when the quality drops in 20 years due to the lack of quality players we'll need to cut down the number of teams in QLD. One is just too many, when we've already got a side in South East Asia technically covering the area already. Two teams is probably overkill come to think of it. Perhaps what the public really wants is the worlds greatest team playing inter squad matches, thus they don't even have to watch teams they don't like! I'm sure the money will come rolling in at ludicrous speed, and if it doesn't then we can always relocate half the intra club squad to Dubbo, a city without a club who most certainly deserve one more than any other venue on Earth.
best suggestion ive read on the first page, this wont happen... BUT how awesome would it be if it did. But i do have some alterations re. to mergers.
