No there won't be. Gallop has said that he sees the number of NRL clubs in Sydney as a strength of the comp. He also said that if any clubs came into any serious financial difficulties that the NRL itself would step in and give a lending hand instead of seeing the club perish. The only way Sydney will 'lose' a club is if they relocate.

the future of the nrl is queensland and nsw.

sure nz will add stuff and our token teams in melbourne, and perth will help but the main game is nsw vs queensland.

there simply arent enough queensland teams in the nrl

the titans have shown what more queensland teams can do, we need another one ASAP.

the big benefit of more queensland teams is it will help crush AFL in queensland helping RL to remain the number 1 sport.

i thought someone would say ken arthurson dont get me wrong from pom perspective ken seemed a little oz biased when it came to 'world' expansion ie:northern hem'"do yer own thing".also remember the american rl pioneer from the 70's/80's mike mayer bemoaning arthurson's apparent lack of interest in the american market,(origin game taken to california)mayer reckoned he set up the exhibition and had some great contacts to get the ball rolling but at every oppurtunity mayer met by artherson's lack of interest and 'cant be arsed'attitude.mayers words dont think ken got on famously with his pom counterpart either!i dont think much progress could ever be made on the international stage under those auspices.for me national pride has undermined internatinal rl from both sides

arko brought in the nz warriors into our competition.

thats been a massive boost for the international game.

he probably thought the rewards werent there in america.

his knowledge of international RL is fantastic, talking about stuff from the early 1900s.

catalans are lookin like our nz warriors the impact in france has been astounding with the game getting unparalleled exposure.in fact im tipping france if they get it together to offer a challenge in the semi's.i believe donald trump is watchin the final?

who can we merge with next so perth can get in

yeah france are probably even better than the nz warriors.

no one wouldve believed how good theyd be, and toulose in 2012 will put SL ahead of the nrl in its expansionist aims.

the growth of the game in france is unbelieveable, and hopefully wales will experience similar growth.

id love to see the nrl put in wellington too.

i dont support losing any sydney clubs but illawarra and saints should never have merged

saints shouldve stayed at kogarah on their own, illawarra on their own and if anyone had to go it shouldve been the sharks.

they only got in on their own because they went to news ltd.

they gave them millions to improve their finances

Next year SL will move ahed of the NRL in terms of true expansion. It will have two expansion clubs (CC&Quins) to the NRL's one (Storm).

I wouldnt mind a few more "wellingtons" myself
