Is it just me, or does the CC bid seem to have hit a bit of a dead patch over the last couple of weeks?
Just you.

Wendell Sailor was today quoted in RLW as saying he doesn't believe Queensland can sustain any more teams, and doesn't want to see BNE2 go ahead.
So now thats Sailor, Tallis and Bennett.
Damn.. I guess they better just pack their stuff up and close the bid down.
Too bad the people that actually make the decision (the clubs) have said they don't want CC and prefer a Brisbane and WA team.
Three ex broncos. Their opinion is only slightly less biased then yours Bear.So now thats Sailor, Tallis and Bennett.

Clubs don't make decisions like that. The NRL and future IC do.
....
The clubs are part of the new IC. They each get a vote.

But i agree having a 2nd Brisbane is important to the competition and we will need a team up there done right, unlike the current 2nd Brisbane bid.

Wait... really? Wow... the Bears maybe falling down a peg if that's true...
What do you feel is wrong with the bid that a different bid would improve?
Didn't I read an article not long ago stating that virtually no teams favoured a CC team?
It was a media beat up driven by certain people from certain teams. The result of that meeting is as follows:
1 NRL club against the CQ NRL Bid
2 NRL clubs against the Ipswich bid (only SEQ bid known at the time, the same 2 NRL clubs have since come out against Brisbane 2 in the media)
2 NRL clubs against the Central Coast NRL bid
1 NRL club against the WA NRL bid
Who voted against WA?
Surely more than one team has enough common sense to see a CQ team is a stupid idea.
No it was the majority of clubs, every NSW club plus more voted against you. Face it NSW has too many teams and you add nothing to the biggest revenue by far this game has (TV dollars).
It's a close call - but that ranks as one of the stupidest, most ill-informed posts ever made.
The NRL told the Bears to relocate because NSO was unfit for NRL. the identity was to be teh Central coast Bears witha regional licence and excluded from being judged under teh criteria. The Bears contributed millions along with the Govt to building their new "home" stadium. Then - in one of the great frauds of the century - the Bears were declared "likely to be insolvent". If "likely to be insolvent" was applied to the whole of the NRL (not just North Sydney) then 90% of clubs would go under as well.
To simply describe this as 'pork barrelling" is plain stupid - or deliberate dissembling.
