I have no real problems with another NZ based club in the NRL or another Brisbane club. But in no way should there be another team from in or around Sydney.
Some Sydney clubs are struggling as it is. Any more clubs there would make it worse.
Hindsight is a perfect thing, but the reality is that instead of having Manly and Norths merge to form the Northern Eagles, the ARL should have let Norths move to Gosford when they wanted to in the late 90's. Then they should have supported both clubs to ensure their survival. Re-admitting the Bears in Gosford now would be a disaster IMO.
