to be honest, I’d be happy if the competition had one team from each city, but Sydney won’t allow it will never happen. Brisbane get crowds twice the size of any other teams in the league and are being ignored by Sydney bias administrators Brisbane deseres another chance.
Some suggestions for a bigger, better NRL
Sydney has a population of 4.5 million, the actual Brisbane fall just short of 2 million. Brisbane is much larger than it was ten years ago and has become more economically stabel inrecent years. David Gallop has publically anounced that a team in West Brisbane is at the top of the agenda when expanding and that a new satdium could be built with support from Anna Bligh (premier of Queensland) who has announced that if the team was given the rites to a franchise then the Government would support the building of a new stadium with an approximate capacity of 25,000 in the Ipswich, Logan area. This would also increase rivalry between the Brisbane teams. The Crushers never had a real home because south queensland isn’t a specific place and it fell during the super league as well as many other clubs including Sydney teams. As for the Sharks, they are positioned in an area sorounded by Dragons fans, are positioned in an area that doesn’t have great growth prospects and are losing the nrl money yearly. Central Coast want a team and Cronulla still wants ateam to support. It will be slow to start but it you call the side the central coast sharks and change the playing strip etc. the team will eventually be supported by the people of the central coast.

their probably just trying to keep the sydney clubs and stop the Bronos from becoming more powerful. The other clubs hsould have to pull their own wieght.
