Not sure why people want 2nd NZ, no where near enough interest IMO.
It is not the like Warriors have won and just keep winning, as opposed to Brisbane where a 2nd team is a no brainer.
And just to clarify, Lang Park is the ONLY stadium in Brisbane that can host League - GABBA is the other venue, no good for league
Ipswich does not have one, So should it be Brisbane Bombers or Ipswich, they will play @ Lang Park
Seeing as we are on this topic will say what I have said before, the mergers were done incorrectly. It was political, tribal not logical.
