I have been thinking about a 12-team comp. Most of you know Sydney a lot better than me so you might be able to tell me if I have gone wrong. Also don't lynch me for suggesting a Penrith/ Panthers merger. If you can see a fair way around that let me know. Anyway here are the 12 teams.
1, Auckland Warriors
2. Melbourne
3. Gold Coast
4. Brisbane
5. North Queensland
6. Newcastle
7.Canberra
8 Penrith/ Parra
9 Souths/ Easts
10 Wests
11 Canterbury/ St George
12 Northern Suburbs Sydney (including northern beaches) (new club)

may be instead of all the sydney teams we could just have 4. north, south east and west sydney plus canberra, new zealand, melbourne, bronco's, cowboys, titans, newcastle, and perth.
Sorry Bernie, not with you on this one it would totally destroy the face of the game overnight, and would simply not work.
It would not be overnight, Snake. I'm thinking of over the course of a decade. Our problem is we have two comps going at once, the remnants of the Sydney comp and the national league.I am quite happy with aiming towards a 20 team comp with teams playing each other once. But I do remember the Adelaide, Perth, Newcastle, Brisbane failures.
just leave thing the way they are
As I said, Ham it would mean developing a popular, televised reserve grade. That system would actually make more money for everyone - two televised events at the one venue.I think our second and third tier comps are under-developed resources. Just think of how many people on this site are eager for your and other people's info on these comps.
Weren't the Hunter Mariners a team?
