I do think we need less teams so the superstars can be evenly spread around the NRL.
What I would do is as follows.
1. North Qld
2. Gold Coast
3. Brisbane
4. Newcastle
5. Northern (covering the nth beaches to the CC)
6. Illawarra/ Sothern syd
7. GWS (based between parramatta & penrith)
8. Sydney
9. ACT
10. VIC
11. NZ 1 (based in Auckland)
12. NZ 2 (based in Wellington)
13. SA
14. WA
Existing teams go back to their state cups
