NRL's growth mindset points to 18th team. And it ain't Perth.

[Perth Red]

His decisions in Brisbane have completely screwed the sport going forward to the point that it would have been better not to expand at all, and though it might please you, bringing a 'genuine' Perth club into comp will do little to nothing to compensate for those negative impacts.

Besides, do you really trust him to not give the Perth license to the Bears?

not at all lol. I am fully expecting it! Sht choices seem the hallmark of the man.

But you never know, even a broken clock is right twice a day. Maybe this will be the moment he actually makes a good decision for the game!

 

[Perth Red]

Wtf do you know or care about brisbane, my family lives in marsden, the community there aren't either way fanatical regarding the bronx or the titans, yet they are stuck right between the two, the league heavyweights in QCup are mostly on the east and north of the city, thats Easts, Redcliffe, Norths and Wynnum.. the rest are making up numbers, and the bronx are exactly west of those 4 teams... souths has been a shambles since taking on the logan area, and ipswich might as well be Newcastle from syd, as they are so far out west... if you want people who are interested in RL, you plant a team in that area, northeastern brissy, aka redcliffe... easts shat the bed with their bid

RL - we need a Brisbane2 to engage the city that wont follow Broncos and that utilises Suncorp so there's a game in town every week

Pistol Pete - Here's a nomadic club with no name that will play in three wide spread locations, 2 of which arent fit for NRL games

hmmmm

 

[The Great Dane]

Who says we ever needed a "south Brisbane city" team???

More or less since the day the Broncos announced they were moving from ANZ back to Lang Park the whole push for a second Brisbane side was to get another team based centrally but representing south of the river, to play out of Suncorp every second week.

Pretty much everybody that mattered, except for News and the Broncos, agreed with that plan until the Dolphins bid came along, then a bunch of people just fell in line after reading some of News' puff pieces on them... And look how it's turned out so far; the Dolphins have been perpetual f**k ups and the only people that have benefited are the broadcasters.

RL Didn't say that, you said that...

RL just wants a game in SEQ every weekend, so its Tits Vs Bronx Vs Phins,
Your losing your shit PR... its almost like you care SO much it hurts

Mate ball hasn't been kicked, the only kickin thats been had is you and the dreggs of RL media downplaying anything the dolphins have accomplished... im impressed that theyve stayed optimistic throughout this whole season, just a whole bunch of negative nancys here wanna see the dolphins fail... this isnt the AFL, the 17th team wasn't going to get any concessions, they knew that going in...

So you want to create the cluster f**k that Sydney is with its neighbouring suburban teams... but in do it to brisbane, instead of give a wide berth and go Ipswich or Redcliffe?

 

[The Great Dane]

And every pundit and media personally not associated with News or the Broncos.

The ones that were associated with News would traditionally say either that the league didn't need a second side, or would throw out Ipswich because they knew that Ipswich wasn't realistic chance of hosting a side anytime soon, and wouldn't be competitive with the Broncos even if they did get a license.

If you truly believe that nothing that happens off the field has any significant impact then you're a waste of time.

100%

If a new comp was created tomorrow Souths OR Roosters would be in it, Yet in Brisbane people want that same situation?

f**k people whinge for the sake of it

The f**k are you on about... you seem to be the waste of time here pal... talking shit about a club who hasn't played a game yet, they won the 17th licence... accept it TGD.. move on brother.. it older you get the more this shit will drain on you... go have a nap

People wanted Utd vs City, Celtic vs Rangers, River plate vs Borca, etc, etc.

Instead Brisbane has been set on the path to recreating all the problems in Sydney.

Dolphins are more akin to would you put Manly or Cronulla in a new comp? Thats kind of what theyve done in a weird hybrid way with Dolphins of no fixed address.

People like you are a growth on the pituitary gland of RL.

You are the reason this sport has traditionally failed to meet it's potential, and why it'll continue to fail to meet it going forward.

No fixed address? So then they cant be cronulla or manly... maybe they are the storm or the wandering covid warriors.
You're deluding yourself pal... keep kicking the dolphins, youll end up wearing it, if they succeed

And when there is a rich foreigner prepared to drop Billions into the sides you can do that.

The distance between Redcliffe and Red Hill is the same as Penrith and Parramatta, Doesn't stop that being a local derby

Manly or Wests I'd say.

Which, in a simplistic way, is why Brisbane will need more clubs if the NRL are to maintain market share, and the biggest reason why the Dolphins are a disaster.

I feel very sorry for you if your mother referred to you as a cancer.

Actually, such neglect could explain a lot...
