i think MAGPIES in WA
and TIGERS IN SA would have been very good for RL
Yeah, the Maggies wouldn't have even had to change name. They could still be known as the Western Magpies! The other option for Balmain IMO is to relocate to Brisbane and merge with local club East Brisbane, thus becoming the 2nd Brisbane team. This would be my league:
Brisbane Broncos @ Suncorp Stadium
Nth Qld Cowboys @ Dairy Farmers Stadium
Canberra Raiders @ Bruce Stadium
Melbourne Storm @ Olympic Park
Adelaide Rams @ Hindmarsh Stadium
Perth Jets @ WACA?
Sydney Roosters @ SFS
Cronulla Sharks @ Shark Park
St.George-Illawarra Dragons @ WIN Stadium
Wests Tigers @ Concord Oval
Penrith Panthers @ Penrith Park
Parramatta Eels @ Cumberland Stadium
Canterbury Bulldogs @ Belmore/Telstra Stadium
Auckland Warriors @ Ericsson Stadium
Manly Sea-Eagles @ Brookvale Oval
Central Coast Bears @ NorthPower Stadium
Newcastle Knights @ Marathon
Gold Coast Chargers @ Carrara
A wonderful 18-team comp. If we wanted 20 teams, simply add Redcliffe Dolphins and Wellington.
