Brisbane Tigers make their bid to be 18th team

The next two QLD teams should be Ipswich and Sunshine Coast. And by Sunshine Coast and Ipswich I mean teams that play in and represent Sunshine Coast and Ipswich. None of this vague, corporate kpi type shit of being named the or after the whole state, or abstract ‘catchments’ to make your bid seem more appealing to morons.

But prior to this, Perth, Adelaide and Christchurch should be addressed. However I fear our game’s continuous QLD tunnel vision will make it not so.

Bids before locations

Theres a very good reason the Tigers felt they had to saddle up to PNG, and having seen that fall though have now come up with a NSW bears level of stupid idea, they know Broncos arent letting them in as Brisbane3.

They probably think PNG s next if they get fed money.
They were all set to sign up with PNG for a 8/4 game split lol
Then Albo flashed the cash and PNG dropped them like a hot potato.
Now, knowing Broncos will never let them in as South Brisbane club, they have come up with 'Queensland' and a 8/4 random regional split.
Desperate times and all that! Doesnt sound like they are as confident as some on here of getting in :)

Money talks. PNG has more cash ATM. Same reason Perth runs unnamed millionaires line..

Ignoring ur trolling bait..
clearly not lol

Why do you think Tigers A) decided to partner with PNG B) have now decided to be a 'semi regional' queensland team? Could it be becasue they have no confidence getting in as a south Brisbane city club?

Coz PNG are up next & like me tigers think PNG are only good as long as fed money is coming in. Then they become tigers. If Perth had money would do same..

ok explains the parasitic PNG approach but why rebrand now as Queensland and have 8/4 home game split?

You and I both know its becasue they know Broncos wont let them in as a Brisbane club.

I dont think they will be, but its clear Tigers think its only way they might get it past them. I reckon Lachlan would prefer a winning successful Broncos over 10k more subscribers!

I'm sure you've got some evidence of that?

Look at the benefits the Dolphins have brought to the NRL!

The naysayers said they would cannibalise the Broncos. Turns out Broncos had 10k more members in 2023 then the previous year. Ratings and attendances were higher, too.

40k more members and 300k more people attending RL games in Brisbane.

Do you have any evidence that a team in Perth will have 30k members and bring 300k fans through the gates? That's what a Perth team needs to equal the Dolphins

Titans had the 2nd highest attendances in their first 2 years too.

Gold Coast isn't Brisbane. Try reading a map.

I'm sure you can quote me on that right? Why do you constantly lie about the opinions of other posters?

Read what I said:

"idiots like you"

I know pennywisealfie and Perth Red said Brisbane should only have one team. At one stage Dane said it, too. John Ribot was against a second Brisbane team.

Actually I didn't switch any argument. I pointed out how stupid your logic is.

You didn't do anything of the sort. Every response from you is a non-sequitur or a strawman. Like the time you claimed the only reason 15yo boys beat world championship winning women's national teams is because the latter were taking it easy. You don't have any evidence of that. It's just a bullshit theory you've tried to pass off as a fact, then claim anyone who doesn't agree with you is "dumb". You were showed a quote from one of the women who played in a game that lost to 15yo boys. She said 5he boys should always win because they're faster, stronger and bigger.

Not my fault you keep making dumb arguments.

You call any argument you cannot refute "dumb".

Why would Foxtel want teams in Brisbane if there's already a large amount of people in the city watching the game on Fox League?

Because TV ratings for this year were better than they were before the Dolphins entered the NRL!

Use your f**ken brain.

Introducing another team in Brisbane could lead to some people unsubscribing so they can attend matches.

It didn't happen with the Broncos, did it?

Ch9 lost four Broncos games in 2023. A third team could lead to Ch9 losing more games.

By the way, did you really write this dumb shit in the same post that you talked up how many fans attended Dolphins matches?

TV ratings for 2023 were better than the previous year, despite an extra 300k people attending games.

You never thought of that because you are as dumb as wb1234.

Go change your tampon, Maxipad.

My guess is they were hoping to gain the licence in the advent that the funding is cancelled. Then they would have done the same thing as Manly in 2003.

This is tinfoil level of crazy.

Richardson spoke about the Firehawks being more than a Brisbane team in 2021.
