Wests Tigers (Or Wests or Balmain) supporters. Now that you are 7 years on from merging. How do you feel about the merger now? Are you peeved with expansion? Or do you think the merged entity is a good thing?
Norths fans - If expansion ever brings about the Central Coast Bears, would you support this team? (surely they could play a game or 2 each season at North Sydney Oval)
Illawarra fans - Are you happy with the SGI merger and do you think this is the best way forward for league in Illawarra or do you still pine for the Steelers?
Bittersweet I guess.
They said one thing when we merged, moved the goalposts afterwards and bring in GC.
Will cop the usual "move on" and "get over it" calls, yet if it was your team you'd probably feel the same.
I doubt I'd have seen a GF win though if it was still Magpies/ Balmain.
Funny how things work though, I grew up in Ashfield and the local team is what drew me to the Magpies, when they went to Cambo it lost a lot of appeal for me....now live in the Balmain/Wts district not far from TS so once again theyre my 'local team'.... but it took me 2 or 3 years.
I dont like Melbourne, I dont like the GC...but I do see expansion is crucial for the games survival and am happy to see it working in Vic.
