Four more Sydney National Rugby League (NRL) clubs yesterday joined South Sydney in claiming they were under serious threat of extinction due to the ongoing financial crisis in rugby league.
While the Rabbitohs are reportedly struggling to make ends meet under the co-ownership of Peter Holmes a Court and Hollywood actor Russell Crowe, several other Sydney clubs are feeling the pinch of the New South Wales government's increased poker machine taxes.
Parramatta, St George Illawarra, Penrith and the Bulldogs - all heavily reliant on grants from leagues clubs - admit their future is far from certain if the status quo remained.
