Interesting that the cashed up Brisbane Tigers got rejected. Obviously cash isn’t their problem but west of Brisbane from which would cover Redlands, northern Logan, Ipswich and Toowoomba need NRL representation.

before any smart arse says Redlands is east of Brisbane & Logan is south, I’m well aware of this.

Not if they want the rlpa onside

Athletes security and at the ground is paramount to the bid

But in the meantime the RLPA allow the national teams to play at the ground?

The ground issues can be rectified in three years …

The compound might take longer … so they might need some short term solutions in other secure areas where other companies send their expats to live

That’s a fair point about the national teams

How to make the Gold Coast work. Rebranding 1 more time. Well SHARKS need a NEW STADIUM so Merge Titans and Sharks as Gold Coast Sharks half ownership each. NRL offer 10 million merger fee to make it success full. Back to 16 teams . No more crap park.

Staying in a hotel for a few nights isn't the same as living in a 3rd world shithole for a year.

I’ve seen council parks more impressive than what Cronulla play at
