GWS: Nowhere to hide

Agreed, although I'm travelling up from Melb its just to see Swans get an early win, would have been better for GWS to go up against GC being the newest or Melb Dees, then port and have Swans face them in rd5, it would also build anticipation in game.

How to solve the NRL’s expansion issue

When you take operating costs into account, which includes promoting the game and bringing the game to more people, I dont think you can say propped any more than RL social clubs prop up their football clubs. Melb dosn't have pokies but has good membership and are increasing participation rates in melb (particularly with juniors) if you took those costs out of the equation then there not being prop up. Whats the alternative going backwards when the steelers were admitted to an all ready crowded market place. The fact is RL has recovered from the years of distress, nows the time to be bold, have more interstate competition, more sponsorship and more of a national profile. Getting more Syd based teams is going backwards, once they called themselves the NRL and not NSWRL, you can no longer look at it as provincial way.
