I think the ultimate endgame will have teams with an broad area in their names ie: Hunter Knights, Western Panthers, Southern Sharks, etc

Except in a National league (international even) that doesn’t make any sense at all.

Hunter is a clearly defined region so it works, but your only applying South and West how they impact Sydney

It's too expand the region away from Sydney.

We could say our area goes from the Shire all the way down to the Vic border (Illawarra excluded), and someone like Penrith can claim as far West as they want (Capital Country excluded), like how GWS claim NSW from the Western Sydney to Broken Hill.

Geography is just thematics in sport

Yeah but like Hunter GWS refers to a specific area

No need to expand to Perth because Panthers have it covered in their endless sweep west? Are Wests included with West or two different teams?

Your suggesting Southern Sharks would be everywhere (NSW) not covered by another club from current to border so would need to be the South NSW Sharks or something.

I know you weren’t meaning it as a fully fleshed out idea, just saying most of the teams will still need something in their name that more clearly defines their region than just a compass point.

If we had merged with Illawarra it would make sense to use that branding, but even then you have Souths so it still doesn't work.

As it currently stands it is really the Dragons with the stronger claim to the south of NSW and we are the exception to their area.

If the Sharks were relocated or folded, Dragons would claim the shire the next day. Obviously won't magically convert current fans but give it 20 years...

Just a mock up. I quite like it...
I'll be posting few more ideas in the next couple of days.
