Message: [QUOTE="dukey, post: 2386138, member: 2046"] The problem with culling existing teams that have up to 100 years of history is that you alienate established fan bases. Most Bears fans that I know haven't moved on to support Manly; they've just given the NRL up and don't follow it at all. Same with many fans of Wests and Balmain, although they got a far better deal than Steelers fans, who get a handful of games played by a team that didn't merge with Illawarra so much as it just absorbed it. At a time when the AFL are pushing into NSW with money and gusto, the NRL can't afford to alienate existing fans. [/QUOTE]
