Brothers-Valleys for the 2004 Qld Cup

[Sydney Carton]

Post your thoughts on Brothers-Valleys 2004 Qld Cup Bid

 

[Big Tommy]

Obviously I think this should occur for a whole variety of reasons - but I am concerned when I hear QRL identities talking about a "strong 10 team competition".

Give me a break, do the right thing and put these two great names in Queensland league back where they belong.

 

[Big Cam Cherry]

Tommy I heard the 10 team quote as well.
I also heard there are plans afoot in Mackay to have a side in the Qld Cup in the next 2 years whether they try and fast track it for next year I don't know but should be interesting to see what happens anyway.

 

[Dirty Hoe]

Brothers would be the new whipping boys of the comp....but still I think they should be there.

 

[mud n blood]

Is this wher I make one of my now-famous "calls" and predict that BroVal will finish above Souths and Central next year ??? (No bet attached, of course :roll: )

B-V won't be admitted. Wests have opted out. Mackay won't be there either. I guess the Sunbury Cougars from Victoria would be the best bet .... :lol:

 

[Dirty Hoe]

wouldnt matter if you put a bet attached to any of your "calls", cause you never go through with them anyway :roll:

 

[The Q Facor]

If Brothers Valleys don't get entry into next years QLD Cup, it will be an absolute travesty!!!

I'd still put my money on the Magpies to get the 'spoon (after this year's effort) if B-V were admitted and the QRL did run with a 12-team comp.

 

[Sydney Carton]

Keep em coming.......

 

[Whats Doing]

B_V won't be in next year. I'm tipping it will be a 11 team comp.

 

[Big Cam Cherry]

What's Doing I've heard the same thing. I've heard I don't know if it's true or not that 6 or 7 of the players they have in mind to be playing for them are already contracted to Wynnum.

 

[Whats Doing]

The source I heard it from is pretty reliable

 

[asaint]

The excuse they use for not allowing B-V in the comp will be more interesting.

Apparently the numbers at training are very promising but they could have the entire St George team & they still wouldn't get in.

 

[Up the mighty Phins]

I wonder if B-V would be prepared to take this further (ie through the courts) if they get rejected once again?

 

[XXXX Cap]

It was great to see in yesterday's paper that Livermore and Co has been tackling the vitally important issues in Rugby League like the design of the State of Origin jersey.

If it's OK, Rugby League must be travelling well. :roll: :roll: :roll:

 

[Harko]

Even if they did get accepted do they really have the time to put together a competitive side???

 

[mud n blood]

Each year they've had up to 6 or 8 QC regulars signed on the proviso they get accepted. This is the ridiculous nature of the system the QRL utilises.

 

[Big Cam Cherry]

I don't know how they would go about it, either close applications earlier so they can start on an even keel recruiting or give them permission in November to start in 2005. I don't know which is best but not letting them know earlier is leaving them on a hiding to nothing.

 

[Big Tommy]

Harko

If we get in we'll finish ahead of the Comets! Is that competitive enough?

 

[mud n blood]

Well I know you'll finish ahead of Wests ....
