    Hawaii

    Actually, Hawaii's economy isn't that great. Housing is almost double that of the mainland US on average, power is about three-times more expensive, there isn't the same level of corporate investment (outside of tourism which is a bust at the moment) as mainland US. Unemployment was at 2.7%...

    Brisbane Bids Club Mascots

    Blends too closely to the netball's QLD Firebirds.

    The future of Rugby League is in China

    The problem I find is that there are too many different versions of touch footy (Traditional touch, TRL, OzTag/Flag Footy) and therefore the NRL and RLIF for international spread needs to put it's branding behind one of them and stick with it. I remember during last year's finals series they...

    The future of Rugby League is in China

    It does.... it's called TRL (Touch Rugby League) and has had former players like Darren Lockyer and Scott Prince really push it in QLD. They even market it as the same rules as RL but without the tackles. TRL is pretty big and runs multiple competitions throughout the week...

    The Case for Adelaide.....

    It does for a Saturday or Sunday match. You could have three games played on a Sunday: 2pm AEST (12pm AWST) 4pm AEST (2pm AWST) 6pm AEST (4pm AWST) You could do the same on a Saturday and have a game played before the 5pm game. WA basically can create 2 new broadcasting time slots on the East...

    Union's Loss, Leagues Gain?

    No no no no and no. Would never happen and in the minuscule chance that it did I doubt the NRL would want to take on the ARU licenced names of the Super Rugby clubs. it would be ok at best for expanding the player base but that is about it.

    Expansion Team Names

    https://www.nrl.com/news/2020/06/08/nrl-expansion-team-could-have-indigenous-name/ Looks like Western Corridor is reinvigorating their stake in the Brisbane bid and looking to use an aboriginal name to stand out from the other bids out there.

    Maybe something incorporating a look like this/colour scheme but more orange in the jersey. Rather than a phoenix looking bird that could have it look like a hawk with some kind of flame in the background or carrying a flaming stick in it's tallons.

    Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad is an NRL VIC Junior. Played at the Altona Roosters from the age of 15 and in the Melbourne NYC team before that was all shut down. Melbourne weren't giving him a start because they had Billy Slater so he went over to the Warriors but they had RTS. Alas, now he is at...

    Gold Coast Bears/Nth Sydney/Gosford

    I note that they didn’t say 200,000 living Bears fans.

    17th TEAM

    Yeah, I've talked to many a Victorian and Sydney-siders who currently live on the GC. The AFL supporters of them are more inclined to buy a GC Suns membership so that they can watch regular games of AFL regardless of which team is playing the Suns. You don't really find it that much in Rugby...

    What about if Easts Tigers and Wynnum Manly combine the entire east/bayside area of Brisbane and become the Brisbane Seamen.... They could play in a uniquely coloured off-white jersey and shorts combo.... because sailors, right?

    Don't know about thunderbolts because Melbourne already use that name for their feeder/development teams. I do like the Bushrangers though. The Cowboys should have used that instead of the terribly American name they took on.

    17th TEAM

    That would make the Titans the Gold Coast's most successful team then.... The thing about the GC, when you compare it to Townsville, is that the GC's population is mostly transient. Its full of tourists, international students, retirees from interstate (not just Vic. Plenty there from...

    Expansion Team Names

    I don't know so much about that. When the Cowboys came in they were initially painted as the "Bronco's little brother" but they took on that persona and turned it into the tough, country battler-style image which I think helped them a lot. Being the "poor cousin" isn't always a bad thing if you...

    Yeah, Rugby League clubs are far more successful in sleepy boring towns like Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. Definitely shouldn't have a club in the high-flying entertainemnt capital that is the GC.

    The Caducei or staff of Hermes represents commerce. Hermes was the protector of commerce and trade. This is likely on the Brissy flag as the Brisbane River provided commerce opportunities for the city in its establisment.
