I agree on both counts.

It hasn't been the same since the 60's, when pp last inhabited Cumberland Oval.
Seriously though, game day needs to smarten up somewhat.

Merge Eels with Panthers....for a super Club. No need to buy players..just keep the juniors...

*hides his head from the brickbats coming his way*

In terms of geography and population that doesn't make sense.

what's to say sydney can't develop that kind of culture with the right marketing in place?

marketing cant change cultures...

as said earlier, melbourne is definately a more centralised city and I see this as ONE of the reasons for their higher attendances.

Technology vendors would strongly disagree with you

i disagree.

marketing is all about manipulating and exploiting people's social and behavioural traits.

yes melbourne is more centralised but sydney is denser in population. there is a lot more to work with from a marketing perspective within sydney.

100% correct.

Roosters and Souths
Sharks and Dragons
Tigers and Bulldogs

That leaves us with 6 teams in Sydney - East (Roosters/Souths), West (Penrith), North (Manly), South (Dragons/Sharks), Inner West (Tigers/Bulldogs) and Central (Eels).

We can then bring in 3 new teams - Perth, Adelaide and either Central Coast or West Brisbane, possibly even a second NZ team.

This has nothing to do with personal preferences (I hate every non-Parra team except the Raiders) but more to do with geography.

i like how you just put the eels at the centre of the rugby league world there hj
