Brisbane3 - What is needed to make it a successful bid?

Yeah I didn't know either until I was told on these forums, but this was the quote from Terry Reader, the Dolphins CEO

“We weren’t allowed to be called Redcliffe or we wouldn’t be allowed to play in the Queensland Cup,”

Why 75 years of history sets Dolphins apart from other expansion teams

If the NRL had promotion for clubs outside the Telstra Premiership, the Dolphins would be the model.

QRL are determined to not have NRL resented in the comp so as to maintain it as separate from a true reserve grade.

As much as I hate the Dolphins being “Dolphins NRL” I see their point, the moment they allow that (and the Cows/Titans having their own teams) the NRL will totally just make the national reserve grade they dream about

Just relocate West Tigers to West Brisbane/Ipswich. Won’t even need to change the name. Hopefully they will stop being so rubbish. Alternatively, just wait until PNG falls over and then bring them in.

Brisbane will never support a relocated Sydney club in big numbers. They would have to completely re-brand... may as well just use one of the existing QRL brands. If Wests joined up with Easts Tigers then maybe... one game at Leichardt I suppose.

Happy to be called out for my Brisbane ignorance here, but it's fun to discuss..

Would Brisbane 3 be a merger of the Easts Tigers & Ipswich Jets and cater to the west, or am I wrongly merging two massively different bids?

Is there a name that represents West Brisbane in a similar way Macarthur FC encapsulates the area in Sydney's South West? Tigers as a mascot is taken, so I would assume Jets would be the go-to here.

Colours could be an emerald green (Ipswich) and black, with some orange highlights (Tigers)?

I have almost zero Brisbane/SEQ knowledge, so just curious to see if there are options in an attempt at avoiding another "The" or third "West" name in the NRL.

- Sunshine State Jets?
- Meeanjin Jets (Turrbal name for Brisbane)?
- South Queensland Jets (might be too reminiscent of the Crushers..)?

or if it's unavoidable, "West Brisbane Jets"?

Dolphins crowds are average

Brisbane 3 won’t happen till they are averaging over 30k at least

Yet they support a relocated Melbourne side in large numbers

East Coast.

The Dolphins should have grabbed it.
