18th club, whose next?

[titoelcolombiano]

Esp after jets and bombers merged

jets have poor finances

small clubs struggle for big sponsors in the nrl

Yeah I get what you are saying, but provided they are playing at Suncorp tacking Redcliffe on the front of their name wouldn't change much at all from the size they are now.

I know its a small anecdote but @Get Rid of The Donkeys and I are both Phins members and we both live in Logan and I personally have had nothing to do with Redcliffe in my life. It's just because it's Brisbane 2.

 

[titoelcolombiano]

Yeah the Ipswich Jets are poor as f#ck

Yep, but their brand and juniors are valuable, their only chance at the NRL is Easts money

Tigers own 5 percent of the jv

Wests Ashfield owns just about everything

including the to be finished Balmain leagues club

Yes I know but the NRL loves that Tigers logo, with the history behind Balmain I can’t see the NRL just turning their backs on that.

If they join with an east’s tigers bid the nrl keep it lol

Sorry I didn’t know thats what you were referring to, stupid me.
That would certainly make the most sense.
If they connect with Ipswich they could become the Wests Tigers of both States lol.

Where did the Firehawks idea come from ?, what was that all about ?.
That was nearly as bad as the Bombers idea lol.

Cause they couldn’t use tiger

They held a poll I think that got the most votes

That Firehawks survey was SEQ footy fans taking the p!ss with many respondents equating it to men's netball and Bombers, WFMD, let's have some Demons as well and why not the Yatala Pies?

The beauty of the Redcliffe scenario, no matter what the NRL think about it, is that everybody knows precisely where their roots are and the Dolphins are a very recognisable brand. You could fund a new franchise on the expenses wasted on marketing guru's to come to that conclusion.

Ok I'll stick my neck out. A third Brisbane team could be the Queensland Fish, encompassing all the Brothers' clubs ... just joking because it's Friday ... lol.

No, Firehawks was created for easts by a marketing company they engaged. Independent surveys by tv news, Facebook etc saw dolphins & jets being far more popular. Easts stuck with Firehawks coz they spent so much money on it.

A wealthy benefactor could emerge

Might be dead by then lol

unless png falls over Brisbane 3 won’t be in until 2035 or so

Viva Las Vegas..

I can add this to the list of issues you are wrong about too.

- Record revenue
- new sponsors to the game
- number 1 game in the country in terms of TV viewership

Oh and you conveniently left out the 11 consortiums currently bidding for expansion from 5 different cities.

From 4 separate countries

 

[MugaB]

Easts have the money but can't use the Tiger. Jets have the brand that resonates with the West and the juniors but no money, it's a no brainer

South Qld Magpies join all three brl clubs
