As per the findings of the Federal Court, Souths were illegally excluded from the competition by the News Limited scum and subsequently were rightly reinstated.
Since 1908, Souths have always competed standalone, as SSDRLFC... whilst St George merged with Illawarra and registered a new combined team in the 1999 comp... hope this ends your confusion.
LOL@Dead V
The action by News Limited was found to be illegal under the Trade Practices Act, 1974 which comes under the jurisdiction of the Federal Court of Australia, not the High Court.
So the News Limited scum could not have excluded Souths again, dumbarse... end of.

The High Court case was a year AFTER Souths had been reinstated in the competition, dickwad. It was pursued by the News Limited scum purely to preserve its control over the number of teams in the comp that it hijacked, not to re-exclude Souths i.e...Lol. And on appeal to the High Court which is the highest court of law in Australia (hence its name) http://www.alpn.edu.au/court-hierarchy News Ltd won its case and therefore its right to exclude any team from its competition it wished i.e. South Sydney. http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/journals/JCULRev/2003/6.html
As South Sydney had already competed in the 2002 season, News Ltd decided to allow Souths to remain in an expanded 15 team competition. However, the ruling of the court means it is legal for any team to be excluded from the competition.
You are also still to answer my question on which competition South Sydney competed in 2000/01
you said it was illegalThe High Court case was a year AFTER Souths had been reinstated in the competition, dickwad. It was pursued by the News Limited scum purely to preserve its control over the number of teams in the comp that it hijacked, not to re-exclude Souths i.e...
"News Ltd made it clear before the proceedings began that it would not seek to remove Souths from the competition should the decision be made in its favour. Thus the proceedings before the High Court could be viewed as nothing more than an academic exercise. However, News Ltd?s wish to take the matter to the High Court might indicate that News Ltd may, at some time in the future, seek to reduce the number of teams in the NRL.
So where is News Limited now???????? Seems they've been excluded.... karma's such a bitch.

The Full Federal Court at the time ruled that it was an exclusionary provision (read illegal) hence Souths were subsequently reinstated.you said it was illegal
the high court said it wasn't
idiot

News Limited scum's High Court appeal (after Souths had already returned to the competition the year before) only ruled in their favour because "News Ltd made it clear before the proceedings began that it would not seek to remove Souths from the competition should the decision be made in its favour."
