Nah whilst playing craps at the Vegas casinos and losing, he said to Abdo " Bro ,Perth is off the radar now, too many white pointers, a bridge too far, they would still whine if given the go ahead and most of all they don't like me".

Peter V‘landys is like the CEO version of the bears.

TBF to him it’s a good tactic of generating interest amongst future potential expansion bids and stirring up media interest.

The decision to let Redcliffe in has made further expansion in Brisbane inevitable.

You'd hope that the NRL have the brains to realise that having no presence in two of the top five markets in Australia is a more pressing issue than further consolidation of the market where they have the strongest market share in the country. I wouldn't get my hopes up though.

Adding the Jets into the NRL would be a feel good story, but Brisbane's west/south west is deep Bronco territory. The Jets would basically be isolated to Ipswich City and the immediate surrounds for their core base (they could potentially expand their influence even further westward into Warwick and Toowoomba if they wanted). Everything east of Springfield Lakes, Redbank and Bundamba would be very hard ground to take as far as supporters are concerned.

NZ 2 or Perth makes more sense imo.

The Jets and The Bears(playing mainly in Perth) should come into the NRL with Cronulla, Manly and Balmain becoming NRLW and NSW Cup sides. The Sea Eagles supporters will still have an NRLW team to support and a team in the NSW Cup plus NSW and the Kangaroos. The same would be the case for Cronulla and Balmain supporters. Call the Panthers the Western Sydney Panthers, playing 2 matches in Campbelltown. Call the Roosters the Eastern Sydney Roosters and call South Sydney, The Rabbitohs. We'll have a 16 team NRL then, which is the right size for the quality of rugby league player we currently have in Australia.

Allan Langer was half for Jets, while first brl coach was tommy terrific as well. That IP is huge positive like dolphins had with club history of beetson etc

If they’d had made the right choice for brisbane2 We wouldnt even need to be considering brisbane3 for decades.
Given new ltd chose dolphins for a reason the notion they will allow a genuine brisbane2 club to come in and really challenge the broncos is laughable whilst they hold the tv rights and the game by the gonads.
