So why do we know them as Valleys, and not fortitude valley? Is it just a short/nickname that stuck or do they represent a valley area of Brisbane?

The part of Brisbane that has always been referred to as "The Valley" is actually the suburb named "Fortitude Valley" named after the ship Fortitude which brought early settlers to the area.

The Rugby League club has always been the same - officially the Fortitude Valley Rugby League Club but just called Valleys by everyone.

Back in the 60's and 70's many commentators like Billy J or George Doniger would say Fortitude Valley or just Valley.

Here comes the Valley side.

Velleys Diehards are celebrating their BRL Premiership with a special jersey. And it's a beauty, it'll have the traditional VFC monogram, the 80s and 70s logos on the shoulder and numbers on the front.

You can add a number of your choice as well as your name on the back.

Get your orders in before 31 October.
