Well technically speaking I think Parramatta and the Dogies back in the 30's were, then you had Penrith and Sharks in the 60's and then 83, Canberra and Illawarra come in and the in the 90's Brisie Newqcastle, Gold Coast and NZ!
the Aussie comp has expanded many times from its original 8!

I also like Cumbrian teams, Barrow are from Curmbria aren't they? |

Why is that Dan it seems strange really? there are no other cities in ACT are there? And canberra is not the largest city in Aus by a long way i know that much. Any way back on topic i always kinda liked canberra too because big Mal played for them and he was a legend. |

Its historical, The ACT and canberra were set up in 1927 because Sydney and Melbourne were arguing which city should be the Capital in the Federation. Melbourne at the time was but sydney was putting up a stink for being the first city and in the first stse. So the governments solution was to do what the US did and set up a capital city withing its own territory. Yes Geographically ACT is within NSW but NSW has no say in the running of the place. Canberra is the only "city" of about 300-400,000 people but you also have the border town od Queenbeyan (where the Raiders fist played out of) but there are heaps of other small towns dotted through the ACT and there is a mountain range (Brindabellas) and nice lakes that are just inside its bounds. Other places like Tuggeranong and Tharwa were once seperate towns, but now have become part of Canberra. Its also about 2 hours drive to the Kosciuszko National Park and Snowfields and some of the best Trout (and unfortunately Carp) fishing around. Also head east for 2 hours and you hit the great beaches around Batemans bay and Durros and head west an hour and you hit the Wineries of the Riviera... oh and 3 hrs nrth to Sydney.  |
