18th club, whose next?

[Santino Patane]

Isn't that my f'n point!!??

If it was, you didn’t make that clear. Sounded like you were laying blame for the Lions getting an oval in Springfield at the feet of the Broncos and Titans, but I may have missed that- text only conveys so much…..

Forget Perth looks like St Helens for Team 18

Broncos & titans can make statements about how far their respective catchments run, but neither are based in south west like lions

 

[Santino Patane]

So refreshing to hear from a local that knows the area and what's going on. Not an expert Sydneysider that knows all perth, Brisbane and NZ from his couch

Thanks mate, I follow these boards regularly and read a lot of BS thrown out ad nauseam.

I try and not pipe up unless I know what I’m talking about, and being the resident Titans fan (yeah, there’s heaps of us, right….) that is balls deep in the club, I know what’s going on with them.

As for the area, my knowledge is only anecdotal, but I have lived here for 20 years and seen the region evolve in that time.

I think a lot of people forget how subjective footy is, and in its nature it’s tribal and full of opinions that seem water tight to one, yet is equally stupid to another. A bit of humility to see this and tolerate different perspectives some might learn a thing or two from others. I know I have..

My commiserations on choosing the titans

it’s going to be a long and painful journey

Good things come to those who wait. Kind regards. The Sharks.

Okay….. we’re not talking about the same thing….. when has the Titans ever have anything to do with the South West Brisbane area? When have I ever said that they do? Do you even know these areas or have you somehow thought that Springfield is in Logan? Hot tip, it’s a long way away from Logan……

 

[titoelcolombiano]

If Moreton Bay Area can support the dolphins at Suncorp they could support the broncos at Suncorp.
No one is targeting the south other than afl still. The fact we are talking About the need for a brisbane3 already shows what a Clusterfck of a decision it was, strategically speaking

That need would still be there if the FireHawks were chosen. Having said that, the ''need'' won't be for a decade or 2 and isn't a ''need'' it is in response to a strong heartland region with a rapidly growing population that will have four distinct centres, North (Moreton Bay & Sunshine Coast), Brisbane (& Logan), West: Ipswich & Toowoomba and South Gold Coast. South East QLD is a huge area.

Not sure it is fully grasped how big SEQ will be in decades to come, why wouldn't the NRL want to grow with it (treading the saturation line very carefully) to ensure it remains a heartland forever.

Well that's loyalty. Not everyone becomes a member of 5 different clubs.

He's never left his Sydney suburb.

So he’s only got to wait another 32 years !

 

[Pneuma]

So he’s only got to wait another 32 years !

Mebbe a few more

If I’m lucky mate!!!

Springfield is in between Ipswich & logan. Jets bid represents area encompassing these two places & Toowoomba

 

[bad boy bubby]

Like pippen said

Paul Kelley and Wayne Carey are from there

nswrl are to blame for this anyway

I remember when Paul Kelly won the Brownlow getting asked who his heroes were when growing up, he said a couple of Aussie rules players then he said Kevin Hastings.
I can't remember the response but I know I started laughing real hard because of the confusion.

He played both league & afl. Riverina is proof both codes can exist together, but we'll probably just be like america where everybody takes a side on everything & society slowly falls apart

As did Laurie Daley.
Who can ever forget Loz's threats to join the AFL during the war haha

 

[Pippen94]

He's never left his Sydney suburb.

In fairness why would somebody venture out of the most beautiful city in the world & go to Logan?!

This. Area will be (& is currently) a heavily populated urban area only behind Melbourne - Geelong & Newcastle through to Wollongong. NRL dominating two of these three is massive advantage

Great, which one of titans & broncos train, have hq's or play out of Logan & Ipswich?!
