They've been called Redcliffe for about 80 years. They have every right to keep the name just as Penrith, Canterbury, Many, Cronulla or St George do
None of those teams would have called themselves that if they were one of only two teams in the city and the other one was called Sydney.

It doesn't matter mate, the clubs name is Redcliffe and always has been. They have every right to use it and hopefully one day sanity will prevail.

That is news to me.

You are misusing the word "right". They have a duty not to make stupid decisions. They can't just represent Redcliffe. They should never play a game there.
Really it's news to you that the club has been called Redcliffe Dolphins since inception about 80 years ago? They obviously represent more than just Redcliffe in the NRL but that's kind of irrelevant, it's not that uncommon in world sport.

Fremantle Dockers don't play in Fremantle
Both New York NFL teams play in New Jersey
The Washington NFL team plays in Maryland
Moana Pasifika represent Samoa and Tonga from Auckland
Pretty much no AFL team in Melbourne play in the suburb they are named after, probably ditto most London soccer clubs.

Have you seen the stats. Was it 6 try assists all year when they made the gf?
He's referring to the fact that the momentum change in the '23 GF back to Penrith was on the back of Herbie passing the ball to no one, the ball hitting the deck and Crichton diving on it. Broncos were in complete control with good field position and tackles up their sleeve at the time it happened.

They were sensible enough to dump the Redcliffe name 3 years ago. They won't go back to it. Heck, they prefer no name than that name.
