How happy they made me
Meant to type lions not broncos

 

[titoelcolombiano]

Dolphins can match the broncos imo

maybe even surpass them

year one beat the broncos easily

I don't mind if they do or don't as long as they both, along with the Titans and Jets in the future are the top 4 sporting teams in SEQ. Every other code can go eat a dick

 

[Wb1234]

So a few years ago rugby league total membership in Brisbane was approx 34k

now it’s over 70k (double)

the dolphins have accessed 3 to 5 million in sponsors not available previously (including news ltd)

they have committed an additional 2 million pa I’m junior funding from their own pockets (storm cant manage to do this)

they have given the game in qld a huge boost with all the other clubs experiencing growth especially the broncos

30 plus years in Brisbane and gifted 3 comps and still not relevant

lol you have NFI, are the Lions bigger than the Broncos? no way, but they have carved out a pretty respectable niche.

That’s why the dolphins are bigger than them after one year

 

[Maximus]

Made the GF and their TV ratings and attendances still fall short of the Dolphins who are in year 1 and finished well outside of the finals.

Attendances? Why do people feel the need to lie about easily checkable things.

How is 27k short of 25k?

So they should be, Brisbane is arguably the biggest RL city in the world lol.

So administrative genius V'landys added the Dolphins and might even add a 3rd Brisbane team to bolster the code against the AFL threat, but nah, the Lions was never really a threat lol...

can't have it both ways

If vlandys and gill were at a function we know who you would be approaching for selfies and congrats on being a super duper administrator

two's enough

On what metric ?

using population data it’s not

using geographic spread it’s not

on the size of Brisbane 3 vs rival bids it’s not

Broncos say

Now the whole nrl has seen what the dolphins can do I don’t think it matters

even the donkeys have been huge winners out of it with the derby

which as a hull kr fan I’m sure you understand

another club means more Brisbane and qld derbies

Broncos losing their stars to dolphins is the final nail in the easts bid.

 

[Wb1234]

Broncos losing their stars to dolphins is the final nail in the easts bid.

But losing their juniors to the storm for 20 years was ok lmao

Brisbane is a huge market which isn’t close to fully tapped and the dolphins are increasing the junior spend to grow it even more

Syd pop 5.3 million
Number of teams 8.5

one club per 625k people

Brisbane pop 2.2 million
Number of teams 3?

one club per 730k People

forecast pop 4.2 million (2050)
One club per 1.3 million people

So you want Brisbane to have the same problems as Sydney with small crowds and unviable clubs until the games money was diverted to propping them up? Righto
