Leave Broncos as a North/West Brisbane team with Jets, Devils, Dolphins as their feeder teams.
Bring in Easts for the massive South East region of Brisbane with Wynumm, Logan and Tigers as their feeder teams. Obviously they can't be the Tigers. Maybe they can take on the old Logan Scorpions brand.
Brisbane Scorpions
I can see that working if the club is based out of Langlands Park and calls itself South Brisbane, to distinguish itself from the Broncos. Gold, white and black as the colours so it represents Easts and Souths.
Easts' club song, which is sung to the tune of Waltzing Matilda.
I have a gold logo of a scorpion I designed a few years ago, but the computer it's on has died. I'll have to get it fixed before I can upload it.
I'd love to see the Scorpions back!
I'd imagine Easts want their name represented one way or another. There was a rumour they were going to merge with the Chargers and Balmain to become the East Coast Tigers in the late 90s. They then changed their name to East Coast for a few seasons. One advantage of using the name East Coast over Brisbane is it allows them to cover other cities in south-east Queensland that don't identify as Brisbane. Redland, Logan, and Gold Coast are separate cities and have a rivalry with Brisbane. I don't know if I could support a team called Brisbane. I was raised in Brisbane, right in the middle of Easts Territory, but I've lived over half of my life in in Logan, and see the distain that people from Brisbane have for this city. It makes me not want to go into Brisbane any more as it's too snobby and fake. Gold Coasters aren't fond of Brisbane or Logan.
