The point is that it gives you a solid presence in Perth, something currently lacking. Sydney is already dominated by RL, the loss of 15k Cronulla fans won't change much; but the addition of 15k fans in Perth [iwould[/i.

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

central coast roosters

the way quins are going it might only be one.
