The bid team trying to bring a second rugby league team to Brisbane has called on the NRL and the game's new commission to open the door for official tenders.
The game's chief executive David Gallop has put discussions regarding expansion on the backburner with the code focussing on the beginning of the new Rugby League Commission and its crucial broadcast rights deal for the 2013 season and onwards.
But Brisbane Bombers bid director Craig Davison says the NRL needs to start executing plans as early as this year if it is serious about viable expansion and matching the growth of the AFL into new markets.
