You need these sydney clubs in the competition because they are the teams which people identify with. They are the clubs which people grew to love the game from. You take that away from people and I doubt you will get a positive reaction. Sydney fans (dragons, wests, balmain, souths, norths, manly) paid the price and to do it to more clubs would be shocking business sense.
Cronulla has a $100 million development about to start. Why cut the sharks for a gosford team? Other teams are putting things into place to insure they are safe. Why would they take $8 to go up the F3?
I live on the central coast - everyone is tied up to teams now and a team here would be good but not at the cost of a sydney team. It takes me a hour and a half to see my sharks play at home and there are a bunch of games within a hour of me. People further north of me can see games in Newcastle and there are always games at North Power it seems.
Whats the point of cutting a team with history and a existing fan base, sponsorship for a team up the road with less fans and less money? How is putting a team on gosford going to grow the game? There are plenty of opportunites to play league here and plenty of NRL teams paying attention to us. Look at how many coast players are in different toyota, nsw cup and nrl teams.
It is "mind boggling" the lack of respect people want to show sydney clubs. Yes if the NRL was to start today you would do things better but the fact is these clubs represent where our game came from.
