Does Sunshine Coast need its own team?

Can Sunshine Coast support it's own team?

 

[Canard]

No

 

[Stinkfinger]

This is why the Dolphins didn't use the name Redcliffe, so they could attract support further north.

 

[Last Week]

No. Next thread.

 

[The Daddy3]

No. Next thread.

Now that Perth is confirmed we need new talking points.

Can Sunshine Coast support it's own team?

It could. But there's far better options.
The Dolphins kinda have that territory if they use it !
The AFL would kill to have a Sunshine Coast up it's sleeve

Should be considered down the track. Fast growing region with separate identity to Brisbane, 300k+ population. QLD govt is a lot more likely to continue upgrading Kawana stadium than ever build a new stadium in Ipswich.

I'm all for Queensland teams in the NRL, but no.

 

[Perth Red]

NRL doesn't want anymore smaller regional cities. In 20 years if it gets a decent stadium and pop keeps growing maybe?

 

[Steel Saints]

Teams 20 and 21 should be NZ 2 and Brisbane 3, or whichever order. Could Team 22 be a battle between Adelaide, Sunshine Coast, Melbourne 2, Fiji, Central Coast?

Out of that list, Adelaide may be the favorite purely because every mainland state will have an NRL team.

Ballymore would be ideal for the union reds and the soccer roar, and then we could have Brisbane 3 playing out of Suncorp and taking some games on the road to other parts of Queensland.

In the future, it will definitely be considered. At present, no.

This. No need for Sunshine Coast side.

 

[T-Boon]

The Titans could relocate to the Sunshine Coast.

 

[RL The greatest game]

The Titans could relocate to the Sunshine Coast.

They wont as the NRL wouldn't want to give afl a free kick on the Gold Coast and same with the afl moving their team from there.

 

[Canard]

The Titans could relocate to the Sunshine Coast.

Moving a team from the biggest population centre outside Brisbane, to a region made up of disjointed decentralised villages and towns 1/3rd the size, would be peak NRL.

Yeah - I wouldn’t do it.
i would make some big brand changes to the titans though.

No. Next thread.

lol this merkin

I thought when the Fins came in they agreed to play 2 home games there. Sunny Coast people deserve a bit more rugby league.

 

[Marlins]

In all honesty QLD could support 12 teams -
Cairns
Townsville
Mackay
Rockhampton
Sunshine Coast
Toowoomba
Morten Bay/Redcliffe
Brisbane City
Ipswich
Redlands/East Brisbane
Logan/South side
Gold Coast
