Coogee clubs are in the Souths junior area and have been since stolen by Souths in the mid 1950's - not Chooks fault they have a small junior league as it would be highly unlikely to have footballers come out of areas such as Watson Bay/ Rose Bay / Dover Heights/ Vaucluse/Double Bay/Point Piper/Kings Cross/Potts Point and Sydney CBD
Chooks are doing great things on the Central Coast so it is upwards and onwards
With the tide having turned compared to the situation decades earlier, and the Roosters having a much smaller junior League than South Sydney, Eastern Suburbs at this time then made unsuccessful attempts to regain the suburbs on the same grounds used to hand Coogee and Randwick from Easts to Souths, that of providing an 'even competition'. The NSWRL, controlled at the time by a Board with a ruling faction of representatives from South Sydney (Terry Parker), Balmain (Keith Barnes), Canterbury (Peter Moore) and Manly (Ken Arthurson), refused to redraw the boundaries.
