    St George and Illawarra have since merged as have Balmain and Western Suburbs to form the Wests Tigers.
    What seems to be forgotten in the discussion of other sports cutting is that there has generally been another team in the same city to support and while a lot of supporters are lost, most move onto another team. Where there hasn't been other teams locally the sport has died. How's rugby league in Adelaide or Perth? Gold Coast any sport!

    Listen to Clyde's interview with Alan Jones, despite dodging as hard as he could, Jones nailed him on it and he finally agreed, if there's a loophole, their lawyers haven't found it yet
