Episode 3: Revenge of the City

The empire from their base in the city has not been successful in their attempts to claim the trophy for some time. Could they find reinforcements from another world to regain their former glory?

In this episode of the NRL Irrational Mergers mini series I am joined by Xander from the Voluntary Tackle podcast. The year is 1998, the newly formed NRL set out to reduce clubs to reach the magic number of 14 by 2000. The criteria is set and the 12 Sydney and Illawarra clubs are offered $8M and other exemptions to make mergers happen. We examine the possible choices for merger partners for the Roosters.
