A beat up by the Daily Terror perhaps? Anyone willing to speculate on which two clubs it may be?

On top of poker machine taxes and smoking bans, there are genuine fears for at least two clubs.

Executive Sports Editor Phil Rothfield will reveal online from 1pm Wednesday which clubs face the axe – and why.

You’ll be shocked to learn just how precarious their situation is.

The NRL has been closely monitoring all clubs to prevent a total disaster.

The first club collapse may be only months away.

The two clubs are apparently Cronulla and Newcastle. Could never see the Knights collapse. They're mad on their footy up in Newcastle. New stadium redevelopment should help them too once it's complete. As for the Sharks, I'm not so sure.

The Sharks local zone isn't big, that's a worry..
