Sydney is the comp, always has been, always will be. Just remember the coat tails your dragging along behind the next time you suggest kicking out sides.
When the comp is truely national then the league can look at folding sydney up and re-issuing licences, but truely at this point, the wounds from super league and whatever else are far too deep in sydney, and there are going to be way to many pissed off people that wont be back to sustain. At this point, they wont cut teams, or as i have said do the proper job and re-issue licences in sydney until such time as the market can sustain it.
