18th team will be logan ipswich

[Pippen94]

More & more this is becoming obvious. Peter V runs game for profit. Perth & Nz 2 will cost money & if they become established after a decade or so they not greatly adding to revenue cause both places relative small. All risk no reward. Joint east tigers / jets bid automatically financially assured, but wrestles important western corridor from afl which is moving in. TV & streaming value Brisbane over every place else too. If north Ipswich reserve gets stadium as part of Olympics its fait accompli

They can & they will. Western Corridor already talked about as important battleground.

This is a truly worthy thread if for one reason only!

 

[bad boy bubby]

I thought I wouldn't have to bring this out again, but this thread is more than worthy..

Hopefully V'landys wakes up to himself and sees that this is ridiculous.

Singapore is clearly the only sane choice for team 18.

lol no. Dolphins will need time to establish themselves as an NRL club. Broncos and Titans would also be strongly against a 4th SEQLD team.

Gold coast & dolphins nowhere near western corridor.
Broncos allowed dolphins to set up in even more populous area of the city. Everybody here telling me Broncos happy dolphins based outside of cbd, but same ppl think broncos will oppose Ipswich - Toowoomba.
I was right about dolphins years before it happened - I'm right about this

 

[Perth Red]

yeh, nah

it's funny the people who say that "Dots on a map" isn't a good strategy for expansion but then apply the same dots on a map idea to a much smaller area in SEQLD. The whole region is connected, the Titans were opposed to the Dolphins coming in even though they are far opposite sides on the Brisbane river. Wherever you put a team in SEQLD it is still a drain on local talent and sponsors.

Titans are in Ipswich this week delivering schools programs. Sounds like no need for an Ipswich team.

Titans make difference with Road to Regions in Ipswich and Northern NSW | Titans

As school sports captain and a player for the Under 12 Lowood Stags team, Jasper Kumar was always going to be excited to see NRL and NRLW players come and visit his school.

come on why wouldnt you ignore a city with no club and 2.3million people for an area with 10% of that population and 2 clubs playing on the doorstep?
It makes total sense, in Pippens head lol

Lol, ppl like you for years were saying same thing about 2nd Brisbane & that gold coast filled that role. Se qld is hot league market. Once sustained entire competition.

 

[Cheese sandwich]

It's a great idea. We could all go hang out with methhead when our teams play there. It would also start a PPV battle between he and PR.
