Brisbane Tigers look to combine with PNG for NRL Bid

The Brisbane Tigers have high hopes of combining with PNG in a bid to become the 18th NRL team.

Shane Edwards, Chairman of the Brisbane Tigers NRL Bid told Peter Psaltis on Wide World of Sports, “…We’re very confident in our proposal in a stand alone basis to be the 18th team…but recently we’ve been in discussions with PNG about a merged entity which could be a very formidable team from day one…”

“We see the creation of a merged team as a way to allow them time to develop their pathways but in time…when new teams come into the competition we’d both be a team in our own right…” Mr. Edwards continued.


Richardson presented some very interesting statistics.

  • Since the Dolphins were added, the amount of people who attended an NRL game in Brisbane increased by 300,000.
  • NRL memberships.in Brisbane increased by almost 40,000.
  • Broncos and Dolphins drew more revenue from sponsorship than any other NRL club.
  • Broncos games drew an average of 630k viewers on TV. 520k for the Dolphins.
  • 20k registered players in Logan, Ipswich and Toowoomba.

Tigers will play 8 games at Lang Park and 4 in regional Queensland if they're given a licence as a Brisbane club.

Need new branding to get Logan, Ipswich and Toowoomba region. Firehawks doesn't cut it.

Everybody who disagrees with u is a sock account. Got it

Did you forget that you had posted that same garbage about knowing Redcliffe was coming in years ago under your wb1234 account?

But good to see you remembered to switch accounts to like your own post again.
