:lol: .......you boys still going?

Face it JK

Wynscum is full of petrol sniffers and dole bludgers.......

If one wanted to see filthy gutter kids and toothless deros fighting over an empty goon bag, one could always hang out around Stones corner, thus avoiding the hoards of mosquitoes surging out from Wynnum-Manly's mudflats.......err

I mean beaches.

Redcliffe was always the choice destination for Brisbane's week-end tourists.

Hence the bitterness and jealousy from Brisbane's "other" suburbs ........

Redcliffe Premierships - 1965, 1994, 1996, 1997, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2006

Wynnum Manly Premierships - 1982, 1984, 1986, 1995.

But xxxx. Out of all those premierships, only wynnum had the teams that would've been competitive in the Nrl. Those successful dolphin teams would b Nrl spooners

I can remember playing against both Wynnum and Recliffe, both were bogans - always flogged the Seagulls in a blue.

2 Brisbane suburbs arguing over whih has the best beach - the ultimate cripple fight? FFS everyone knows the sand becomes mud north of Tweed Heads.
The NRL doesn't need another struggling suburban based side. It needs a team that can draw 20K+ and has been mentioned the Redcliffe brand will instantly alienate it from a large % of RL supporters in the region. If the Moles inside info about the IC only being interested in regional branded clubs is true they are already dead in the water and no wonder they won't spend any money putting a bid together now.
You dickhead. Suburban based? Like the current premiers?

This argument that the second Brisbane side should get up because not all league fans in QLD follow the Broncos. Is there any League fan in Brisbane that doesnt follow an NRL side?

Stupid idea

again.... minimalising potential support

If I live in Wynnum .. or Capalaba ... or any other Brisbane suburb

why would I follow Redcliffe ?:?

ridiculous :roll:
Maybe because you follow Canberra...........

Using your logic, we shouldnt have the Reds in either, because you like in a humpy in Capalaba.........

Face it, Redcliffe is the only thing that smells like a decent credible proposal that has come out of Brisbane since someone thought up the Crushers idea 15 years ago. Crap oval though.

I give it a decade easily before any QLD bid is as strong as the Central Coast Bears.

This seems to be more of a "don't forget about us" then an stated intent to bid for a spot but if they do bid then that would directly impact on the B2 bid rather than the Western Corridor and would in effect be helpful for us as it would estrange the Dolphins from them.

^ looking at the QRL cup sides wanting new affiliation, there is two logical "blocks":

Ipswich, Souths-Logan (Toowoomba)
Sunshine Coast, Redcliffe

Not sure if Easts or Manly would shift alegence...

When the Bombers anounced their details, they claimed Souths-Logan, Sunshine Coast and Redcliffe being behind them. I don't know if this is changed since.

Loudtwat... is there any League fan in the Central Coast that doesnt follow an NRL side?

Was there any fan in Brisbane that never followed an NSWRL side before the Broncos were admitted in 1988?

Who did you follow in 1947 before Parramatta were admitted to the comp?

Why would the Sunshine coast be behind a 2nd Brisbane side?
They are the only Q Cup team without an NRL feeder arangement - I guess they will take whatever they can get. Bombers probably seemed like a good afiliation.

Redcliffe were right behind the Bombers bid until this week: they are now putting out feelers to anyone it seems.

Same goes with Souths-Logan - without the Raiders, they will be wanting a new partner asap.

I'm not sure of the new rules with respect to Melbourne / Easts (Brisbane)deal

The point is that if the NRL want to kick non-Queensland clubs out of feeder arangements in Queensland to try to improve the NSW Cup standard, they will need something to fill that void.

Like an NRL expansion licence for example.

The ideal scenario would have been the GC jumoping in bed with teh Dolphins nd having shared owership of an NRL license with Redcliffe providing the jnr's and some $'s and we would have had the Gold Coast Dolphins which would have been much better. Oh well.

Yes, while we are at it, let's merge Newcastle with Cronulla.

There is always one dumb gronk who doesnt get it.

When - for example - the Raiders were admitted - many Canberra residents were fans of existing clubs, but once they had a local side to follow, they would switch allegiences and follow that local side. This is how the Raiders get many thousands to their games, instead of the locals all preferring to watch Belconnen United, Queanbeyan Roos, Yass Magpies etc, OR following St George, Souths, Balmain, Parramatta etc in the then Sydney comp.

Such a phenomena has already occurred in Brisbane. Hence, the Brisbane Broncos do not suffer much competition for fans from Wynnum-Manly, Redcliffe, Brisbane Easts. Most League fans will follow the NRL in Brisbane, and if they did not adopt the Broncos at the expense of someone else, chances are they will follow another NRL side.

In short, if they were going to follow a local side, they'd follow the Broncos.

Both the Hunter Mariners and the South Queensland Crushers showed that it's pretty much impossible to get local support when there is already a local side.

Oh, and there is not a local side in Gosford, but there is plenty of support for the Bears. That, plus the old Norths territory, represent 1 million people without a local side to support that represents their district.

Brisbane residents already have a local side representing them.

Who did you follow in 1947 before Parramatta were admitted to the comp?
Probably the same team you supported before Captain Cook hoisted the pommy flag at Shark Park. Idiot.
