When they were choosing the 17th team I personally thought the FyreHawks were the best option. Mainly because I m a silent Shane Richardson fan, mainly because every club he gone to he makes them successful, including his time with my team.
I've now changed my mind. I like that the Dolphins git the license.
They may not have been the most popular choice by the general NRL public, but one thing hasn't been mentioned anywhere much, if at all.
They are the very first Qld team that has been accepted into the NRL team that is not a made up club. They are a traditional club, much like many of the Sydney clubs.
I understand that North Qld had a rep side forever, but they weren't a club on its own.
No matter what past hate through Qld traditional rivals, they should be embracing the fact that one of their own finally got in.
