One place the game is booming is Brisbane. The Broncos have 53,672 members and believe they can teach 60,000.

The membership tally is now sitting at 53,672 as the Broncos eye off a staggering 60,000 members, set to be reached by midway through the season, based on current trends.

NRL First as Broncos Crack 50k Members, In Record Time

The Brisbane Broncos are thrilled to reveal the club has quietly ticked over an historic new membership record of 50,000 members, the first club in NRL history to record the milestone.

Dolphins had 30k last year.

Dolphins – by the numbers:

  • Over 30,000 members
  • Average crowd at Suncorp Stadium to be in excess of 32,000
  • Five home game sellouts – Raiders, Broncos, Dragons, Eels, Panthers
  • No.1 in the NRL in on-field apparel sales (jerseys etc)
  • No.2 in the NRL in sponsorship revenue
  • The documentary ‘Dawn of the Dolphin’ was the most downloaded show in streaming service STAN’s in history

Thank you! We've reached 30,000 Dolphins members

The Dolphins have taken time to say thank you to their massive supporter base in Brisbane and south-east Queensland today as they announced a staggering membership milestone for the NRL’s newest club.

Catching up to AwFuL.

Broncos and Dolphins generate more revenue from sponsorship than any other rugby league club in the world.

So when will the NRL announce a date for all potential NRL team 18 bids to submit their bids?

They wont. Team 18 wont go to bid. they are going to announce team 18 towards the end of 2024 according to Abdo. They will only go to bid in locations where there may be one viable bidder or where there are currently no bids but the NRl want a club (though that doesnt seem to be a scenario at the moment)

In terms of possible choices and what we think we know

PNG - no open bid already working with the only bid
Perth - no open bid likely to be working with WA govt and whoever they are supporting
Christchurch - possible open bid as two potential bidders. Depends on viability of both bids
SEQ4 - Possible open bid as Jets/Bombers and Easts both still potential bidders
Wellington - no bid interest at this time
Fiji - no open bid as one bid interest Govt backed

I get the sense the NRl has no interest in just inviting open bidding then picking a location. They will likely pick the location then decide on the bid. I suggest this may already have happened for club 18 and 19.

The only way Bears get any look in is if
A) They back down and form a genuine partnership with a current preferred bid
B) NRL wants a team in a city with no other viable option than the Bears being there
C) NRL chooses a bid but believes it needs the Bears to be viable and dictates to bid and Bears the terms of the partnership

I cant see any happening. Sorry Bears fans.
