When they brought in the Queensland Cup in 1996 the QRL had the right idea to try and still award a BRL team as the BRL premiers. The only problem was they took the wrong approach with finals overkill so when Redcliffe and Easts, who played in the 1997 Qld Cup, played again in the 1997 BRL Grand Final it became so ho hum.
I would like to see a return of a BRL Grand Final that is ONLY played if a country side wins the Queensland Cup. It could be played at Dolphin Oval or Langlands Park the week after the QLD Cup Grand Final on a Saturday or Saturday night before the NRL GF the next day.
If they were do so I would also like to see the title of the BRL premiers awarded retrospectively to the highest placed Brisbane team between 1998 and the present.
