Actually, you're a merkin, but we still talk about topics even though you're around...
And yeah no shit, I did say it was at Sydney's borders, but still very far away from the cbd, just as far as central coast and Illawarra

The Central Coast and Illawarra aren't part of the Greater Sydney region. Just wanted to clear that up.

They picked what they wanted in the criteria

By setting a criteria that allowed for this one of News Ltd payment, of course meant no super league clubs were in the firing line

But 25 years on

It has been proven so wrong, by Souths, Gold Coast, Brisbane 2 all returning not to meantion the roadmap back to 20 teams.

Not really only souths came back, the others you mentioned are just locations that have returned, the clubs that were there ceast to exist, but roadmap is correct, coz we need those other areas to grow our game

South's were run like an amateur organisation in the 90's - see piggins vs Denton YouTube clip. Easy to see why Superleague wanted Bulldogs, sharks etc..

Just shows how dumb Murdoch was then wasn’t it ?

super league wouldn’t lost its plastic nature by having south’s in

if souths have the same kind of run as the roosters or storm they will average 40 k

Has nothing to do with what I'm saying. South's were among the weakest clubs. Others like tigers, wests, Steelers merged. If south were a powerhouse in the 90's superleague would've wanted them.

You know about south’s juniors ?

if Piggins wasn’t so stubborn and gave them the ownership of the club they would’ve been sorted

No. Picking teams with professional setup was correct. Crowe & Holmes a court transformed South's. Look what's happening now..

Still broke and got in

dodgy af

indeed we don’t even need them today if we are being honest

dragons could represent them and Illawarra

or better dragons for that area and Illawarra standalone team

So half the teams in the nrl are out and it’s all just Sydney and Brisbane teams


and IF souths juniors owned Souths they were rich. Piggins said no to them

you think Crowe and Holmes a court spent a lot of money on Souths ? They didn’t lol

it was mainly membership revenue that did it
