İt 'could' be solved by Dolphins adopting "South Queensland", opening an Ipswich Academy, and possibly considering the possibility of basing some games in that area 'if' they were to get a stadium out west that was sufficient (at least 20k)
Dolphins and Broncos fans come from all over. Location of their training base is irrelevant. Ditto Lions to a lesser extent as their fan base is much smaller.I genuinely think they made a mistake with Dolphins, especially being Redcliffe oriented.
İt leaves the two Brisbane sides being Northside oriented.

The Lions have made a home in the west in Springfield and Rugby League does need some stronger presence but it may not need another club.
Holy f**k!There’s been one of a couple preliminary draft’s proposed as SQ Jets.
4 games CBus, 6 games Suncorp, 1 Sunshine Coast, 1 Toowoomba and maybe 1 away game rocking Newtown colours.
Based in Ipswich. Ipswich reserve upgraded with center of excellence.
Aim to enter NRL between 2030-2033.
Proposed 25k stadium in Ipswich by 2040/42. Then 90% of home games played there, 1 remains in Toowoomba.
Ipswich Jets, Easts Tigers and Western Clydesdales (if they’re still around) to be direct feeder clubs.
Ipswich Jets, Easts Tigers & Private Funding/Public Ownership model.
Unsure of how proposed ownership split would look like but my guess is it could be Tigers 40%, Jets 35%, Private Sector 15%, Public Membership 10%. That’s just an estimation though.
Not sure how this will progress to being an actual bid but some higher ups in QLD RL and a couple corporate heavies are keen for it to be something like the above. That’s all the info I have for now.
We shall see how it all plays out.
I don’t like the idea of that stadium split for a “South Queensland Team”.There’s been one of a couple preliminary draft’s proposed as SQ Jets.

far be it from me to tell the QRL how to do this, but playing at Robina doesn't make a lot of sense for mine. If we're taking on the AFL I feel the Coast needs to have a lot of clear air and not be cannibalised by Ipswich. One team, one town - the Titans. Same with the Sunny Coast: that's Dolphins territory, if not now, surely in the future (especially once the redevelopment is done)There is something about this team playing at the Titans home ground I don’t like as well.
Maybe they can add in that the Chinese might also invade Brisbane in JV with the AFL.They are really going to need to whip up a lot of “AFL taking over Brisbane “ jive to get that cluster over the line..
