That News Limited appealed the court decision that allowed South Sydney to be readmitted to the NRL and WON?

So, by rights, the NRL could've kicked South Sydney or any other team out whenever they wished.

Food for thought.

Wow! They probably thought it would be better to let them back in and fall over by themselves, proving they were right to kick them out in the first place.

Plus it helped give everyone this warm and fuzzy feeling that the war was over. Enforcing this would've just prolonged the fighting and backstabbing and the game would be on the brink in 2008.

Oh...wait...

I remember reading this back when i was doing legal subjects at uni. I always thought it was just out of hope that Souths would fail and humiliate themselves for failing again.

More important than that. It established that the NRL has the power to close clubs if it wants/needs to.
