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

[Canard]

Whilst they do have money, they don’t have that much money to be able to purchase the Broncos. Not the majority share that News Ltd currently own anyways, maybe minority share ie what BXBX have.

Just my 2 cents.

That's my point.

The wealth of these QRL clubs is being massively overstated.

And even if they could they would essentially have to liquidate every asset they have just to get close to a purchase price.

The question you have to ask yourself, is that in 2025, how many RL fans are not catered for? And how much latent support is there currently?

this. it way too soon for another Brisbane club, they would be mediocre - on and off the field.

It isnt a popular opinion but I always put up the option of renaming the Titans to South Queensland Titans and gradually moving games to Suncorp. The GC is a fail.

If that was to happen, may as well get Brisbane Easts Tigers on board as part-owner.

They could even do a soft rebrand - using that "South Queensland Titans" name, but changing to something like the teal, orange & white colours that the original Gold Coast Dolphins bid had - as a nod to both their original bid identity AND the Brisbane Easts Tigers link-up.

Or just keep titans and allow them to grow in city which will eventually have population of over 1 million

Stating something as fact which you can't possibly know for certain

Stop making sense Pip. 750000 already live there. There is a huge junior pool of players as well as lots of juniors in catchments nearby and they have a great stadium. Move them!

Fair point - but what I was saying was that IF (BIG if) the option was to move the Titans to Brisbane, then getting Brisbane Easts on board could be a way there that solves the problem of getting that club into the NRL AND leaving an expansion option there for the west/Ipswich.

You're right that it'd create another problem though - leaving the GC with no team when that area is growing.

To be honest, as far as branding/location goes, they probably just need to stay put & feature more gold on their jerseys - relocating, changing their whole colourset or mascot would just feed into the cycle of previous GC teams chopping and changing all the time.

Yet again, LU thinks the solution to everything is graphic design tweaks.

 

[T-Boon]

No, leave it as it is. That's a crazy idea. Just give them time and they'll be fine. Be patient, Gold Coast will prove to be an important area for RL in the coming years

Nah
