Will Brisbane ever win another premiership?

[Slackboy72]

As long as they're allowed to flaunt the salary cap with BS TPAs then yes.

the issue i have is that brisbane should have a second team with the same infrastructure as the drongos. a second team with backing from the arl to reach the same level as the drongos & taking advantage of a flow of juniors from the qld cup that currently roll off to other clubs.

this city deserves top flight footy being played in it every weekend. given the strength of the code in this state, the current set-up is a joke.

furthermore it gives a free kick to AFL & the like every second weekend.

Will Matt Wade ever take another catch or score another run,that's your answer.

 

[simmo1]

Obviously a troll thread, of course they'll win another at some point but probably not for another 25-30 years.

Mate, no one follows the Loins up here. All ex-pat ring-ins.

Union deader than dead too.

Agree 100% but should be QRL, if that's what you meant, run along the lines of a united-BRL club, "Brisbane United"

 

[Life's Good]

Of course they will win but the aura that got them so much success is no longer there. They will have to do it the hard way.

 

[Delboy]

They just need to sign more internationals and rep players on 50% of their expected salary so they can play under Wayne ( hint thoroughbreds etc ) . Such an even playing field , just publish each clubs total of registered TPAs , not individuals as that is a privacy issue, then it would come out how much of an advantage Uncle Wayne has played with over the years.

Not that Toddy boy would contemplate upsetting one of his powerbase clubs

 

[Pedge1971]

And Moga. That merkin is having a laugh playing first grade.

Thanks. We will take him and run him over Jimmy the Jet next year.

 

[El Diablo]

they should be given salary cap exemptions

it's just not fair

Give Redcliffe, Wynnum or an established QRL team the green light.

As for the Broncos- would people still call them a powerhouse team?

In terms of their financial status, crowds and membership then they absolutely qualify...

But in terms of on-field results, they're no longer "the team to beat" and have instead become "the team who get shown up once their 7 day turnarounds and floggings of squads with less than half their budget come to an end each season".

The Wayne Bennett halo effect (combined with the fact a lot of their fans still think the good old days are just one season away) has led to a stagnant culture at Red Hill. If the Knights had that much to spend on players every year and had a solitary GF appearance to show for it in the past decade (and had just been dumped out of the finals 30-0), I'd be asking questions about the future of our legendary coach, or the superstar 5/8th who went missing in a pressure situation yet again...

 

[GongPanther]

Whole of Brisbane to support them financially. TPAs galore to attract anyone they want to the club. Free to air favourites on every Friday f**king night.

Yet haven't won anything since 2006.

I can't see them getting close to another premiership unless they start their own comp.

Thoughts?

Who were you referring to again?

Lost their Aura long ago, teams use to go up to thier old home ANZ already beaten mentally. Brian Smiths Parramatta teams were the only one with a great record against them. That and with an enforced salary cap they can no longer carry 4 rep players on the bench and 16 in the starting lineup. From thier 2006 GF side only 1 player never played for either Australia or Queensland (Shane Perry).

What fooker?

You mean Foo-caire from the movie "The Corsican Brothers?"

It's League Unlimited...
