When is the penny going to drop.
The Gold Coast is a holiday strip, not a sporting club strip. The only footy teams that should exist on the goldie are feeder teams, like Burliegh and Tweed. You could also put a feeder team around Nerang.
While we have our heartlands like Logan and Ipswich that need to have teams, and play all their games mainly out of Suncorp. Until that happens our code is under-valued, always will be, because people with vision are not allowed to shine in this code.
We have too much dumb running the code.
The simple fact is we need a game from Brisbane Suncorp every weekend, not every second weekend.
And we need the third team so we can enjoy day games as well, like Saturday and Sunday arvo's.
Until this happens, our code is being ripped off by short-sightness.
Forget the faking Gold Coast, even the suns are a nobody while they are on the Goldie.
We dont need a proper NRL team for the Goldie, they only need a Queensland cup feeder teams.
The only time they should ever get a team is if our code introduces a promotion and relegation system like the one they have in the UK.
I cant see that happening, it should, but our minds in this country are not forward enough.
We have the 3 monkey system, see nothing wrong, think nothing wrong, hey presto, it's all gone south something wrong.
