There has to be some hope as I'm certain a team will end up being based out of Bluetongue Stadium, Gosford. Singo is involved with both Bluetongue Beer and the Stadium. The crowds they get there for the CC Mariners are fantastic, especially against the Newcastle Jets. So the exact same thing could happen with a Central Coast based team and the Newcastle Knights. As to which team ends up there I'd rate the order of favouritism as 1. Rabbitohs 2. Bears(or Bears/Rabbitohs*) 3. Eaglescraig said:Great names great club great tragedy indeed.
I signed the bring back Norths petition you know ..... fair dinkum.
My workmate is a Norths member and i am thinking of joining too Leagues Club at least.
Itd be great if they came back, its not impossible and i would like to think they would be the next team in imo as they were so close last time especially if Singo is involved.

North Sydney currently play in the second-tier NSWRL Premier League competition, serving as the reserve side for Souths. They have also been affiliated with the Warriors and the Storm in the past. There is a movement among Bears' fans for a return to first-grade Rugby League, with the North Sydney Bears relocating to Gosford (on the Central Coast, New South Wales) and becoming the Central Coast Bears. Some believe that a team in this part of New South Wales would be highly successful, while others believe the NRL should prioritise other areas of Australia and New Zealand for expansion teams. In the 2007 NSWRL Premier League the North Sydney Bears made the Grand Final facing off against Sydney rivals Parramatta. They were beaten 15-20 by Joel Reddy Scoring a try with just 10 seconds to go.
I thought Jason Taylor treated Peachey very poorly at the end there with Souths but maybe he was simply trying to send him off with a flag. In doing so it would have given Peach something the Sharks could never achieve and also help the Bears win another one(first since 1922 :'( ) . As I said before Taylor is a smart cookiecraig said:Yep the Peach was very stiff, a sad end for him. Woulda been nice to see the Bears hold up a trophy too.

Good man! :clapcraig said:Thanx guys lovely work there ;D
Firstly my dear Sneezy i have mucked around with league like most at high school but have never and would never play at competetive levels or district etc.
Main reason is that at 6"4 and lean in my younger days i had a neck that would easily be snapped. I am one that is well aware i did not have the body type for rugby league, i was quick and had good hands but just lacked neccessary body size; i was a bean pole type as a youngster.
Probably wouldve played at Lock if i did play or Full Back.
As for the Warriors MB knows damn well i am no fan of the Warriors and he likes to rib me about it, but to be honest i actually hate Manly and Easts more
