Cannot see why a Brisbane Dolphins vs Brisbane Dolphins / Jets would be an issue.

As long as it’s a widely inclusive name not fussed if it’s brisbane or sq, easts coast or sunshine state dolphins. I think calling them Moreton bay dolphins would be a big mistake as it’s too geographically isolating.
It is isolating, but that will allow Broncos to market themselves as a team for City or Brisbane, Ipswich and Logan. Dolphins could be a coastal team for Moreton Bay, Redlands and Sunshine Coast.

Is the plan for the dolphins to be based out of Redcliffe i.e. headquarters and training but playing their home matches out of suncorp stadium?

makes you wonder how the nfl, SL, epl and every other comp that has two sports teams called the same cope lol
NFL have conferences. American Football Conference has the teams from the American Football League, which included the New York Jets. National Football Conference is based on the old NFL teams, which included New York Giants.

Los Angeles had the Raiders and Rams relocate there in the 90s, and both clubs failed and ended up back in Oakland and St Louis. Rams and Chargers are now in Los Angeles and are failing.

Clippers are perennial strugglers.

Manchester City dropped down to the 3rd tier of English soccer around 20 years ago.

If they had a 25k stadium in Moreton bay to play out of Id agree, but they dont, and won’t, so need to appeal to people south, east and west of Brisbane cbd as well if they are going to draw a crowd to suncorp.

none of which has anything to do with people having a problem with two clubs in same city with same moniker which is what you were suggesting! In RL we have Hull FC and Hull KR and no one gets mixed up with them lol

If the people of Redcliffe and moreton bay don’t have a problem with the dolphins playing all of their home matches out of suncorp stadium then it’s the Brisbane dolphins for me as the 17th NRL franchise :thumbsup:

It’s less if they have a problem with it and more will they actually travel to games from that far away to support them? It’s likely dolphins will largely be on fta so Thursday and Friday nights are going to be a regular slot for them you’d think.

What’s “fta”?

The smartest thing would be to introduce Easts as the South Brisbane Firehawks and Redcliffe as the Moreton Bay Dolphins. That way SEQ is covered from Moreton Bay to the border and Ipswich, with Broncos taking in Ipswich and south western, western and north western Brisbane. Firehawks take in south-eastern and eastern Brisbane, Logan, and Redlands. Dolphins take in northern and north eastern Brisbane and Moreton Bay.

the last seq team added went bust and had to be rescued by nrl. Let’s see if this next one can manage to stay afloat before getting too excited about adding a fourth mouth to feed in SEQ!

The outcry from the Broncos and Titans would be huge if 2 new Brisbane teams came in. I'm sure the other new club wouldn't like it much either....

Ok. Thanks.

ch 9 show Thursday and Friday night games?

we have game on the free to air channel on a Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Traditionally the Thursday or Friday night games feature the Brisbane club as it brings more viewers. IF Ch9 are going to pay more because of Brisbane2 coming in then you can be pretty sure they will want them in one of their two biggest audience slots.

The club should hire a local music band to perform at the team's home games. Give them a name that fits in with the club's brand and make it so club members can vote each week for which songs they can perform covers of at Lang Park. That'll help get mothers and wives to attend.
