One of each... It's the latest craze.
With some of the maggots like mave as examples of 'filth over the spit', i'm sure the hatred will flow, i have no doubt.
Do you need a little lie down, sweetie?
My wife works with a guy who is involved with the Bears re-inclusion into the NRL. Ex-North Sydney man.
He has offered me a limited edition Bears jersey and I was wondering about getting it as an assist in fund raising for the club.
I havent seen it though. Does anyone know what it looks like?
Not that your against the CC Bears ?? WTF ??
I'm not, I just think there are other places we should go rather than ANOTHER NSW team as a priority. Personally there are 2 or 3 Sydney clubs that I think should move there or fall over so the Bears could come back in from the CC.
I really don't buy this "you have to have a team around the corner or named after my suburb" to be a fan of the game and a club.
Who said that ??
That is the general theme for their inclusion ie if we don't have the CC Bears all those thousands of old RL fans and potential new fans from the North Shore will watch soccer, RU or AFL. It's been said many, many times.
I am pretty sure that if you are a kid growing up in NS or any of its catchment area and your mates are into RL, you play it at school or for the local club and you are surrounded by the game on TV etc then you will pick a Sydney RL club and support it.
You're right. Reduce the comp into 4 Sydney teams. The kids will come across eventually. How so ?? Well they may have mates playing League at school etc. and it's on tele and stuff.
Whose talking about reducing NSW teams, I'm talking about the NEED for another one.
Looking at the blokes who left the NRL for Super14 or Super League last year alone you can make up most of a RL squad (even if a little old and out of form in places)...
1 Brett Kearney (SL)
2 Chris Walker (SL)
3 Iosia Soliola (SL)
4 Brett Delaney (SL)
5 Will Chambers (Super14)
6 Jarrod Sammut (SL)
7 Matt Orford (SL)
8 Mark O'Meley (SL)
9 Heath L'Estrange (SL)
10 Craig Fitzgibbon (SL)
11 David Fa'alogo (SL)
12 Glenn Hall (SL)
13 Greg Eastwood (SL)
14 Joel Clinton (SL)
15
16
17
If you then look at blokes already playing in SL, its not that hard to find enough players to fill 2 new sides. Especially if Perth and CC introduce Toyota Cup level blokes to their squads and take 1 player from each NRL squad. I really don't think the NRL's player strength is an issue in expansion.
I will have to become a member even thoght I won't support them as a team.
