1) The Bears would never work in QLD, apart from their identity being something that does not go well with QLD identity, i doubt that QLD would ever support a team with origins and histories that stretch back to NSW.
2)
Parramatta - Already cover a large area - not to mention being about 2 hrs away from the Central Coast.
Easts - Are quite contempt with staying in the city and east side, they want nothing to do with player developing or representing an area they can't offer them anything. They already got everything they need $$$.
Parramatta - Already cover a large area - not to mention being about 2 hrs away from the Central Coast.
Souths - South Sydney representing something that is North of North Sydney is laughable and unrequired, Souths has a large junior area and one of the top teams with membership and corporate support. Souths are also in favour of a return of the Bears.
Newcastle - Covers Newcastle/hunter/New England this are is massive and that is after the Gold Coast has taken Tweed. Now you want Newcastle to take a percentage of the Central Coast!! i don't think so, i don't think so.

Yet many on here have openly advocated moving Manly to the sunshine coast.

How do you know what you have just stated is indeed factual, perhaps they would welcome more juniors.

Alliance with North Sydney Bears[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]On the 28th July, 2006 it was announced that the Rabbitohs had formed an alliance with former first grade foundation club the North Sydney Bears. Under the agreement the North Sydney Bears will act as the Rabbitohs’ feeder Club in the NSW Rugby League Premier League competition, allowing the Bears access to players contracted to the Rabbitohs who haven’t been selected in the NRL side.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
North Sydney Bears General Manager Greg Florimo was quoted saying “We’re very excited to be involved with the Rabbitohs, particularly looking at the moves Souths have made recently, the move to privatisation and the strong recruitment drive that has taken place are very positive moves and we’re looking forward to being a part of the future.”[/FONT]
