with western reds and another team in queensland, would the game be better off.
im a fan of sydney clubs but as time goes on its getting harder to justify their places in the competition.
indeed wouldnt it have been better for cronulla to be kicked out totally, saints to stay in southern sydney as the sole team, and illawarra having their own team.
looking at the crowd the knights got yesterday illawarra could do exactly the same.
they should have their own team.
should the nrl perhaps look at another round of franchising in a few years time?
indeed the tigers playing at the SFS is a waste of time.
they should probably move to campletown permanently

winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

What would Batman want with rugby league
Its obvious there are too many teams in Sydney - you only have to look at the crowds - which given that virtually every other game is a game against another Sydney side are disappointing - not one Sydney club averaged even what the Rhinos did in 2008 - not brilliant for a national sport in the biggest city. Would it not be better to reduce the number and improve the quality?
The obvious places for expansion are South Sea Islands - could they not have a team like the West Indies in cricket made of the best players from Somoa, Fiji, PNG and Tonga - let's face it there would not be a shortage of players nor youngsters coming through.
The other place is NZ especially if you want to knock union of its perch.
So reduce the teams in Sydney say Cronulla, Roosters, Penrith and have a team based in PNG and another team in NZ.
The other positive it would even up the international comp a little more especially if the South Sea Island played as one team - not sure is tribally that is possible? A Tri Nations of Australia, NZ and South Sea Island side would be worth watching
Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.
