It's an ugly topic, but when you look at geographies and demographics, a number of NRL teams are poorly placed. These include:
Sharks - with the dragons entrenched in southern sydney and their partnership with Illawarra, it makes little sense to have a team in between
Dogs - again, with the dragons nearby, borders with the rabbits and within shooting distance of parramatta catchments, probably an example of poor placement
Rabbits/roosters/tigers - depending on where you agree they are based, they are very close too each other
Cowboys - not a large population and are strategically weak when it comes to rivalries and attracting away fans to games
I'm not suggesting that these clubs should be booted, but it's interesting when you consider some of the larger Australian geographies that are not covered (second Brisbane team and perth) by the NRL at the moment
Cheers,
