So could this be a part of the reason why Blacktown Workers was picked over the locals?

Its not a by product of the creation of Sea Eagles reserve grade now being located at Blacktown is it? I assume a pathway from Seagulls to NSW cup was still available?

I'm not sure there was ever a pathway to the sea eagles from the seagulls

They have had a money problem from the start. Most unfortunate because they seemed a real bright spot on the Peninsula.
