The point is, Brisbane and surrounds has a far greater population and a second club has a far greater financial potential, crowd potential, player potential, media profile potential and TV ratings potential than the CC, even if it wants to try and suggest that North Sydney is somehow part of its territory.
The Brisbane market is the third biggest in Australia and the second biggest RL area. Currently it shares the elite pro sport market with three other football codes and based purely on club numbers only holds 1/4 of the market. That needs to increase. We need a bigger market share in such a big market, especially one that is so important to RL.
LOL, well said old friend!
Lets have a look with the buffoonish mong lords on here, shall we.
You can take whatever the central coast can bring, right and you can double it or triple it for Brisbane 2.
Central coast is a step to the side, and Brisbane 2 is a step forward.
the broncos earn what, 10million+ from seating alone during a season. the central coast, pffft, with
THAT stadium?
its not even complete!
It only has 3 sides!? der!
And what about regional fan pulling power. come on, central coast versus what will soon be australias 2nd largest city, if not the largest. give me a break.
Thanks neil. I wish you'd come back and kick those tools out AGAIN! This time buddy, they are donning high heels and stilts and pretending to be bigger than brisbane 2.
omg. only in league.
this is like the day the beatles came to america. sorry elvis.
A 2nd brisbane side is a no brainer. Ipswich was never, ever going to be a viable option. The amount of vocal support that has disappeared from the Ipswich bid is laughable.
CC is also a no brainer, as is Perth. The one thing that is great is that we as a game have 3 excellent bids, of which all could be included.
What a position the NRL is in, shame no other code in this country is in a similar position. Loving the hype surrounding the next round of inclusion, will bring nothing but positive PR.
its awesome, love it
Agreed.
Central Coast, with an exceptionally well organised and supported bid are (arguably) the third best expansion option.
I think that's a credit to the game, frankly.
A shame, cos the Bears will be shafted again - and rightly so!
small timers. way to go whitakker.
I haven't done that. I asked him if he had support for the proposition. That is all. Again, the rest you have (for some reason) made up.
Further, believe me about what exactly. I haven't said they are or aren't true. I just asked that the basis for the claim be, at the very least, explained.
I'm not sure why you are seemingly so personally offended about this. If in the course of a discussion someone presents some information as a fact, and that fact is relevant to proving a point in issue, it is normal to seek clarification about the reliability of that information.
its a weird stoush you find yourself in; I actually agree with you.
make no mistake people. Brisbane 2 is here to KICK. YOUR. ASS
Brisbane 2 and perth for mine for inclusion.
My credentials? lol.....i picked every major development in the game for the past 10 years at least several years in advance....but people either hate me or try and stiffle me.....
I am ahead of the game people.
I was banging on about the commission in 2003. pffft. no brainer. I am an analytical genius.
