I can't understand how supporters can actually expect their team to remain FOREVER in the premier competition in any sport?
I mean, forget RL for a second, look at almost every other major sport across the globe and the majority of competitions have relegation systems or teams simply merge/fold/relocate.
It's part of being involved in professional sport. In some competitons, even the players don't get much of a say on where they play.
The harsh reality is, Sydney has an over staurated RL market. Sooner or later, the NRL will force some teams to merge/relocate. When that time comes, some supporters may be lost forever, some for a period of time, but time heals all wounds.
These relocations/mergers/raising of new teams, if done correctly, will bring more revenue and more crowds to the sport, which will justify the tough decisions made.
Sucks to be a fan of a Sydney team, but such is life.
You wouldn't know your left testicle from a walnut.
The NRL will not force mergers.
Name me one merger from English Premier League, the NBL, NFL.
Sydney is not oversaturated. Most non Sydney NRL sides have less resources than the average Sydney club.
But still, can't expect a bogan from Pine Rivers to understand when he's rocking chair and banjo are in full use on the front verandah. The only thing that is oversaturated is your hands - with fingers.
