Well, if those are the choices, and going with demographic trends, I would say Gold Coast and Wollongong.

It's tricky because a natural one would be a Sydney/Western Sydney rivalry, but given where the Blue Sox play (Blacktown), they actually ARE Western Sydney...

Maybe re-name them the Western Sydney Blue Sox and put another team closer to the city? Or go the Sutherland/Cronulla route?

Gold Coast is a no-brainer because it already has a ready-made facility. In fact, I'm surprised there's not an ABL team there IRL...
