Bringing the Bears back into the elite competition is insane.When the were in the elite comp it was a suburban comp and they werent successful anyway on or off the field.North Sydney has always been a Union area. The figures for the so called catchments are just that figures.For example my Mighty Eels on paper yes it is a large catchment but its changed from what it was 30yrs ago.Penrith is more like Parramatta of years gone by.Parramatta area has a huge population but cummon.How many are supporting NRL.Parramatta area is so multicultural now that id say maybe a quater would have a care about league.Than you look at North Sydneys catchment.How many there would be hard core league fans…. 1 . it is unions home in Sydney..2 Have you been to Epping/Eastwood/Chatswood/Hornsby lately,i doubt many are keen league supporters .Manly and Norths play juniors together i dont think it be a bad idea if the league told Manly jump in your car your heading back up the coast.Northern Eagles #2.I know alot will say it didnt work before and maybe some truth is there but unless something is done theres a chance there aint going to be Manly,surely there supporters can see being based at Gosford and still play a few games out of Brooky is better than nothing or being relocated to Perth or Bris.
