Interestingly, some directors feel they have a moral obligation to North Sydney not to invade the Gosford turf.
"North Sydney got dudded by the NRL," one director said. "They are a great club which contributed to the game and it would be immoral to take away their glimmer of hope by moving to where they want to be."
The Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU), which has imposed a "red and green" ban on Redfern Oval preventing any demolition work, has also received a letter from the Bears asking for support.
Papa, a CFMEU official, said: "Norths got a raw deal. They've sought our support and have it."
Seano said:Which carrot is that? $8m? laugh
Why would Souths move for $8,000,000 when they raise around $5,000,000 annually in sponsorship in Sydney?
Souths are finally getting their act together and it is scaring a lot of people
Move on?MightySharks said:The bears are gone for ever, right or wrong this is a fact.Move on!
Tamazoid said:Yes, we are scared - scared of the damage and embarrassment Souths bring to Australia's premiere winter football competition.
Hurry up and go to QLD/SA/WA.
girvie said:Move on?
Stop supporting the team I love?
No chance.
p.s. The Bears aren't gone for ever. They play in four competitions this year.
Seano said:haha yeah whatever - wait and see.
Im confident that Richo, Pappas and Bomber can bring us success. There wont be anything better than a strong Rabbitohs team and not only for Souths fans.
Mixing some of our strong local juniors into a team with experienced successful players like Orford or Anasta for example will be another fairytale story for Rugby League - much like the Cowboys of 2004.
