The kids would just read the name on the front.
Bro, I still have a hangover from yesterdays demolishing of the Panties. But I think you've had one to many vodkas this morning, and it's affecting your brain, haha lmfao

With the Dolphins they should call them the Brisbane Dolphins.
Get rid of that K I N G S ad sprawled across the jersey and replace it with D O L P H I N S . Put the ad elsewhere and make it much smaller.
Should they give some of the sponsorship money back as well?

They are only in their second season. Titans did start off well too. So Dolphins are still a fledgling club at NRL level. But they do have the potential of becoming a "big club".
Exactly the time when they want to maximise building the fanbase in case they go through a rough patch like the titans.
Small time thinking playing out of a park football ground and locking out a minimum 40k people a year from attending will not build a big club.

We bag the sharks out for their sub-par stadium, and rightly so, but even that is currently a third bigger.

I can’t work out why they play any games at Kayo but there must be a method to their madness. It can only be the prohibitive costs for lower attendance games at Suncorp
I have heard it is expensive but until I see the figures I won't believe 10k @ $50-$75 at kayo with bugger all corporate can make more money than 20k+ at suncorp where seats are more expensive and there is 5000 high value corporate seats to sell.

Even if rent was 500k a game, which i believe it is less, an extra 10k seats sold covers that already.
Even though they own kayo doesn't mean there is no cost involved to play there. You have maintenance, cleaning, electricity, field management etc.

Exactly. And you’d think attracting bigger crowds at a better venue would grow their fan base and corporate base over time as well. But then again - the Sharks!

Sharks is a perfect comparison.

Neither team is staying a smaller venues to lose money

But the sharks went broke at least 5 times since they entered the comp, so owning your own small ground obviously doesn't make enough money.

They are just lucky they had a lot of land around the venue that someone else paid to develop.

Yes. So why would they not take the Allianz cash... If it was the better financial option?

You don't think the developers would of taken the whole land?

They're lucky they have no scruples and jumped to stupid league at the very beginning. This somehow cemented their place in the competition even though they were the Team that least deserved it. Parasites till the end.
