Answer 2

They either merged with other clubs or went broke and had to step out the NRL comp... you really need to get over ur obsession with trying to strike arguments in the league sections, none of us come to the AFL side to bag you out.. we dont waste our time... so just back off...

Answer 3

if your so successful why are you trying to make new clubs in nsw and qld and why do your clubs borrow so much money??

Answer 4

All the teams defunct/merger over the History of the NRL:

Adelaide · Annandale · Balmain · Cumberland · Glebe · Gold Coast · Hunter - Illawarra · Newcastle · Newtown · North Sydney · Northern Eagles - Perth · South Queensland · St. George · University · Western Suburbs

All the teams defunct/merger over the History of the AFL:

Brisbane Bears · Fitzroy · University

You make the comparison, I am not taking sides as I like both codes.
