I'm thinking the Tigers and Dragons.
And we’ll be chasing none of those players. The bargain bin is where it’s at!!SMH have the Top 50 players on the market from 1/11/2023
One club is already eyeing a $5m offer for our No.1. Who else is on the market?
November 1 and a fresh batch of off-contract players has arrived. As St George Illawarra ponder a big move to lift themselves out of the mire, here’s our top 50.www.smh.com.au
Technically the Roosters call themselves the Sydney Roosters. Which i assume the Sydney part represents all of the Sydney CBD catchment from Inner west to Bondi & Vaucluse even though as you say not many juniors. Moving on from just being called Eastern Suburbs.Add Canterbury and the Roosters in that group too. Both in geographical no mans land and in the Roosters case no juniors whatsoever. Although having money is a significant and necessary requirement it is only one aspect of admission.
Oh the Sharks may struggle too depending on finances. Is there another RL club out there that is trading well that could do the job?
Think it was payback for the time he bought Jake Arthur a sausage roll and a Gatorade from the Rhinos canteen after a game a few years back...Loizou was such a strange signing probably not too strange if you want to look up his junior club..
He never set the world on fire in Juniors played 1 game on the wing had no speed.
Didn't get a look in at all this year.
I reckon you would have 6 teams in Sydney and that would be it if you started a comp now
These 6 sides would cover enough region of sydney where everyone would feel like they have a team.
Manly/North Shore
Parramatta
Penrith
Inner West Sydney & CBD/East/South (Souths/Roosters)
Southern part Sydney (Cronulla/Canterbury/St George)
Macarthur Region (Wests Tigers)
The bottom 50 is where it's at!!!!And we’ll be chasing none of those players. The bargain bin is where it’s at!!

We are building one at Campbelltown as well.With the tiger COE at Concord I doubt that will be happening anytime soon.
Note Ogden is not on that list.

The Parramatta Eels today farewell the five NRL players departing the Club with the conclusion of the 2023 season.
Waqa Blake (#803)
Waqa Blake departs the Parramatta Eels following four-and-a-half seasons with the Club. The outside back made 77 NRL appearances for the Eels, including the 2022 Grand Final, and scored 28 tries in Blue & Gold.
He is currently representing Fiji at the Pacific Championships, and is set to appear alongside Maika Sivo in this week’s tournament final against Papua New Guinea.
Andrew Davey (#808)
Andrew Davey retires from rugby league with 44 NRL appearances to his name. The hard-working forward earned his debut with the Eels at 28 years of age, after quitting his full-time job as a carpenter in Queensland to pursue his NRL dream.
He also represented the Manly Sea Eagles and Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in the NRL, before returning to Parramatta for his final 12 first grade matches.
Samuel Loizou (#823)
Local junior Samuel Loizou departs the Eels having progressed through the Club’s Elite Pathways Program.
Loizou joined the Eels as a teenager before spending three seasons with the NRL squad and making his first grade debut in 2021.
Josh Hodgson (#828)
Josh Hodgson retires from rugby league following a wonderful, 286-game career across the NRL and Super League. The English hooker appeared for Hull FC, Hull KR, Canberra Raiders and Parramatta Eels at the elite level, played in the 2019 NRL Grand Final, and represented England and Great Britain on 23 occasions.
Hodgson will remain with the Eels following his retirement, as he moves into an Elite Pathways coaching role.
Jack Murchie (#832)
Jack Murchie moves on from the NRL after making 44 first grade appearances for the Canberra Raiders, New Zealand Warriors and Parramatta Eels. He joined the Eels at the beginning of 2023 and made five appearances for the Club.
The second-rower will move to England after securing a long-term contract with Super League side Huddersfield.
The Eels wish to thank Waqa, Andrew, Samuel, Josh and Jack for their service to the Club and wish them all the best.

Well i suppose considering you have 6 home grounds you may as well start building 6 COE's.We are building one at Campbelltown as well.
Funding approved for Campbelltown Centre of Excellence
Funding has been approved for construction of a new state-of-the-art Centre of Excellence at Campbelltown Sports Stadium.www.weststigers.com.au
Matty’s as well FFS!!Did pretty well to never set fire in the juniors but to make Australian schoolboys. Do you reckon they only pick Jake Arthur's mates too?
