Agree...it was a token punishment considering the coin on its way. The Nrl has given every club the chance to survive given the grant is 120% of the salary cap and you only have to spend 95% of the cap. Only Sharkies style mismanagement would faarrkk it up. Manly....Tigers and Goons far more vulnerable than us....but even they should survive imo.I think if they really wanted us gone we wouldn't have got a slap on the wrist with the latest saga. That gives me hope we're here to stay.
Goons to the gong fulltime, tigers to campbelltown fulltime. Roosters to be fired out of a cannon at the sunAgree...it was a token punishment considering the coin on its way.

I noticed in the annual report that we received $175k for stadium events compared to $19k last year so at least there's some progress there.
Don't bring logic into this thread!I think if they really wanted us gone we wouldn't have got a slap on the wrist with the latest saga. That gives me hope we're here to stay.
No SYDNEY team is safe. Not even Roosters with small junior base.
NRL want to make teams geographically based. It really depends on how they break it up. For example Sharks, Dragons and Dogs join (not merge) to form a Southern District team. Tribalism will remain in NSW Cup. But all new teams will have new names and identities.
Think of A League initial setup when Sydney teams formed the new Sydney FC.
Correct. They wouldn't even entertain any of those clubs applying to run one of the new A-League teams when it was set up.If I remember correctly the Sydney Sookarh scene underwent the big name changes to rid the competition of their racial divides. i.e. Apia Leichardt, St George Budepest, Pan Hallenic, (thats all me old memory can remember)
When my father arrived in Australia in he remembers going to the Soccer match between the Greeks vs Jews, Pan Hellenic later changed to Sydney Olympic, Hakoah later changed Sydney City, he told me that they used to go to the Soccer dressed in their Sunday best clothes.If I remember correctly the Sydney Sookarh scene underwent the big name changes to rid the competition of their racial divides. i.e. Apia Leichardt, St George Budepest, Pan Hallenic, (thats all me old memory can remember)
