im an expansionist, but i fully believe that if we got rid of all the non nsw teams from the nrl and went back to balmain and wests on their own, saints and illawarra on their own we would be a much stronger game in nsw, and wouldnt miss the rest at all.

would the rest survive without us?

not a hope in hell.

ha ha, yeh go back to part time players, winfield cup sponsor and 5,000 crowds. Let the good times roll!

sydney crowds are the best when they play each other and terrible for all the expansion teams.

sydney people like watching sydney teams play.

souths vs saints means something

bulldogs vs cowboys means nothing

If your on about the NRL GF.

Then he's not a Storm fan!

Try Hull FC!

South Sydney Rabbitohs vSt George Illawarra Dragons 12,978
avg v non Sydney teams 9,800.

Accounting for the fact there would have been more "away" fans at the game v St's the amount of Sth Sydney fans was virtually no difference so there goes that theory!

yeah i didnt think you wouldve heard of the 1965 GF either.

or know that saints and souths are the 2 most succesful RL clubs

edit : and the fact that there are more away fans is my point

Actually you are wrong. No other club has won more than Souths and Wigan!

11 grand final wins in a row baby

they changed the rules (4 tackles) and brought in cronulla to stop them
