Hull kr lolYou forfeited the right to criticise the layout of rugby league in Australia when you defended the RFL's poor expansion record in England, Canada and France.

Squirm? It’s ultimately RL on the North Shore and in Northern Sydney in general that’s suffered from the status quo. The Bears continuing as they are is doing no favours for RL in the region.Luckly they didn't, coz we all know manly had both the ARL/NRL administrators back them to the hilt, im glad to see you squirm your insight regarding what the bears should do with their catchment, while they play for the nswcup and feed the storm
Can we have a Northern Eagle's combined Nswrl Cup teamFor many years Manly have ignored their own home the northern beaches in favour of bringing kids in from Blacktown.
From U13’s up North Sydney junior clubs join the Manly junior competitions but the competition is very ordinary.
The NRL really should have forced the Northern Eagles to work instead of just adhering to Ken Arthurson’ and Bob Fultons wishes and just handing the NRL license back to Manly.
Gosford > PerthChampioning a team in gosford would be like campaigning for keighley to join SL lol
Keighley>>>> londonGosford > Perth
I never said anything about Keighley. I wouldn't even be able to point to it on a map. It's just an irrelevant place in Pomland.Keighley>>>> london
that’s your logic lol
Better the bear you know than the sea eagle who don't give 2 shits regardlessSquirm? It’s ultimately RL on the North Shore and in Northern Sydney in general that’s suffered from the status quo. The Bears continuing as they are is doing no favours for RL in the region.
Bit like Gosford then?I never said anything about Keighley. I wouldn't even be able to point to it on a map. It's just an irrelevant place in Pomland.
Gosford has a better stadium and generates more players than Perth and Keighey.Bit like Gosford then?

The problem is because of the current situation, the bear you know is basically unknown to the younger end of Gen Y and the generations younger than them. There’s entire generations who have grown up without the Bears in the NRL and don’t care about them. They’re also unlikely to care about a Perth or NZ based Bears team.Better the bear you know than the sea eagle who don't give 2 shits regardless
Who cares about which generation knows what, are we to placate to all the magpie and steelers fans coz of the other merger teams, no one cares about borders and catchments anymore, the comps that filter up to the NRL do so much better when they are run by clubs like norths, not those NRL clubs like manly who just align themselves with a feeder arrangement instead of nurturing a local competitionThe problem is because of the current situation, the bear you know is basically unknown to the younger end of Gen Y and the generations younger than them.

No, that’s the point. Young people don’t know and don’t care about the Bears, they’re the ones who are going to be around in the future and who decisions should be based around.Who cares about which generation knows what, are we to placate to all the magpie and steelers fans coz of the other merger teams, no one cares about borders and catchments anymore, the comps that filter up to the NRL do so much better when they are run by clubs like norths, not those NRL clubs like manly who just align themselves with a feeder arrangement instead of nurturing a local competition
Can you post a photo. Or picture. MapNo, that’s the point. Young people don’t know and don’t care about the Bears, they’re the ones who are going to be around in the future and who decisions should be based around.
The problem with the North Shore is that the comps run in the Bears’ catchment haven’t performed well. The Northern Beaches and North Shore would perform a lot better with a unified catchment and a single entity overseeing it.

There would need to be a compromise between Manly and North Sydney to unify the two districts.No, that’s the point. Young people don’t know and don’t care about the Bears, they’re the ones who are going to be around in the future and who decisions should be based around.

No team would give up so much for so little.There would need to be a compromise between Manly and North Sydney to unify the two districts.
Offer North Sydney a 50% stake of the NRL licence and rebrand as North Sydney Sea Eagles. Red and black colour scheme with 3 games at North Sydney Oval. That's probably as good as it will get for North Sydney Bears.
You can say all that about every cluba lot of irrelevant rubbish in there considering the thread is about if nrl needs more regional teams.
gold coast - went broke a number of times, poor on field
illawarra- had to merge
nq - went broke, poor on field most of nrl era
canberra - on field been poor most of nrl era
Gosford - manly ditched the place as soon as possible
newcastle - went broke, poor on field most of nrl era
So there’s the sum total of regional nrl clubs in last 25 years.not one of them has had any sustained on field success and most have been pretty poor,
