What team would you like to see back in the NRL?

The NRL often talks about "expanding" into new "markets". However I think it would be good if they brought back former teams.

They could even kick out under-performing teams to accommodate this.

I'd love to see the Newtown Jets back in the NRL.

What team would you guys like to see? And which team would you like to see kicked out to accommodate this?

In: Jets
Out: Souffs

It's just a matter of time before there is an influx of Norffs > Manly posts.

To be honest that is what I would do.

I sent an email to John Grant this morning suggesting this but I have not heard back from him yet.

12 team comp - Play each other twice - Top 5 - crowds of around 5-10,000 in boutique staidums

Love to North Sydney Bears come back to represent that huge area North of the bridge that currently ins't represented.

I would love for them all to come back really (instead of the ones that have a team located there e.g. Hunter Mariners, Gold Coast Seagulls/Giants/Chargers)

With Newtown, I too would love to see that jersey back in the NRL. Would really love for the Jets to start developing a relationship in and around Adelaide, really build Rugby League out there with the SARL and in a few decades bring back the Jets as the Adelaide Jets.

Crushers > Broncos. Apart from promoting the Central Coast Bears, this is easily a no brainer. With all that wealth - they cant do a thing without Benny.

Sounds good. TV deal would be worth about 50k.

Glebe or Newtown (similar areas, really), Western Reds, and North Sydney Bears.

Won't somebody think of Annandale or Cumberland?

Meltdown for the players maybe as the TV deal and salary cap would be lower.

I want Souths back in the comp.

Nah, blokes like you, Grimey, IBM, gUt and your ilk would be here blaming all things NSW. The Curious Male would be choc full of articles about how it was because the Donkeys were so good and NSW clubs couldn't compete with them.

Kings Cross cokefiends

Emblem would be crossed dirty syringes sitting atop a giant sized eccy

Colours would be hot pink and black

Head coach goes to The Dell
Robbie OD would be assistant coach
