Bid names

[Mr Fourex]

There is very little sugar cane grown in SEQ. Central Queensland and over the border in the northern rivers is where the cane is.

The Sunshine Coast grows sugar cane .......Nambour has a mill.

I actually thought Crushers was a more apt name for us up here in NQ, we have a shit tin of sugar cane.

*facepalm* Forgot about Nambour.

 

[Mr Fourex]

Fair enough about the other names you mention, but I have to pull you up on including St. George Dragons to that list. The fabled story of St. George staying the Dragon is obvious so the name actually has a meaning and connection to St. George.

loudstrat was asking about Australian connections........

There have never been any Dragons in Australia.

or Bears

or Tigers

or any mythological f**king panthers........

Apparently only QLD NRL sides use non-Australian gimmicks to market themselves .........:sarcasm:

At least the mythical connections are in fact connections. Broncos missed their opportunity to grab a relevant and original name in Brumbies. Rah-rah scooped it up. Much smarter.

Yes but the difference is that the Roosters and only the Roosters geographically cover the Sydney CBD out of all the Sydney teams. That's not the case if you have 2 "Brisbane's" covering the Brisbane CBD.

Not that I am against having another "Brisbane" name in the comp anyway - even though I would prefer a more geographically defined name such as "South Brisbane" representing south of the river as the Broncos are based north of the river... I think it would create a more tribal atmosphere.

The new Brisbane team cannot be geographically defined. What happens to the Broncos fans living on the south side? The truth is there are Broncos fans throughout the Greater Brisbane region, north, south, east and west. As well as Ipswich, Logan, Redcliffe, Caboolture and even as far north as the Sunshine Coast. However for every Broncos fan there is a Broncos hater.

I love the idea that anyone can be a fan of either team. One of the most asked questions in the years to come throughout workplaces, pubs and clubs will be, Broncos or Bombers?

That is a pretty weak argument there mate.

Why didnt they go with Brisbane Bengals and just ripoff parts of the Cincinnati Bengals logo

 

[Loudstrat]

I have explained the links already.

Broncos refers to nothing about the district, neither do Titans, and Cowboys is American when Australian options were available.

So how do Dragons refer to St George/Illawarra or Tigers to West Sydney?

Cant recall seeing any Dragons in St George or Tigers in West Sydney

If you dunno that Wests Tigers is half Balmain you have problems.

 

[Mr Fourex]

Why are there Dragons there....? :crazy:

At least the mythical connections are in fact connections.

They aren't even "Australian" animal mythical connections........which was the point. The Dragons are creatures that quite possibly never existed from Great Britain and the rumoured "Panther" of the Blue mountains has it's origins from the Americas, Asia and Africa

I have explained the links already.

and your explanations are as full of sh*t as you are.

How are the Balmain Tigers an "Aussie Brand" simply because of their black and gold "hoops"

Why not the Balmain Bees ....at least there are f*cken bees in Oz.

Castle = Knights = Steel = Newcastle. Local connection ......:sarcasm:

Bwhahaha.......that'll do me. You're a moron.

Novel way to try and defend Brisbane for having a Seppo mascot - by being a brainless twat over and over. No good trying to explain the bleeding obvious to a redneck twat that can't spell beer.

I never said Tigers were indigenous. Normal people realise this. Some others club mascots are. None of them are Queenslanders, however. You obviously are - and probably a fine banjo player as well.

Spend the rest of your life wondering why you have 11 fingers, rather than trying to understand the complexities of life, such as RL history, spelling, or the joy of being able to wipe your own arse.

 

[Mr Fourex]

What I cannot understand is why no one in Queensland can think of something Australian

Dickhead......

The 49'ers moniker actually comes from the Californian gold rush. It's pretty specific to the region.

And that San Francisco is 49sq miles in area.

 

[Loudstrat]

Fourex = tryhard. :lol:

We get it. You have NFI. You have proved that! Here comes the nurse with the nice big needle to put you to sleep and take those nasty voices out of your head.

I didn't know that.

Giants and 49ers are my 2 NFL teams. I've gone past Candlestick Park but I've been told it's an amazing experience on a Sunday twilight.

Hence why I've said before that the Perth/W.A. Reds should pick Old/Metallic Gold instead of Silver or Black.
