We’ve got a home ground.
A potential local fan catchment of 1.6b residing in the Southern Hemisphere.
Beer Sponsor
Clint as coach
Coles check out operators for cheer girls.

I put it to you, do we really need an actual footy side to ruin everything?

We all know what happens when a club recruits players:

Scandal.
Miserable park footy performances.
Embarrassment.
Marquees playing like flogs.
Injuries.
Suspensions.
Treachery!
Missed tackles.
Forward passes.
That’s the tigers experience anyway. And that’s the upside!

I think the club could get along quite nicely indeed without the grotesque horror of fielding a side.

It’s a totally unnecessary expense and not having a side would be much better for the environment. Thousands of litres of aviation fuel saved, a reduction in plastics used for mouth guards, many grass inhabiting insects will be spared from being trampled upon. Everyone would win.

I know some people might not understand it, but I just can’t see downside in not losing a match.

Just keep postponing our entry into the nrl each year. Keep these exciting formative times going forever!

It was an image of a bronco ass model bending over in front of a porpoise with a suss grin on his face.

All that said, our poor side is looking like it won’t be able to compete against the Titans reserve grade side at the moment.

Probably should have signed Seibs to coach.

Clint will be hitting the piss pretty hard atm.

I just can just see him blind drunk, chatting up a pokie machine at the porpoise xmas party, King Wally in the corner trying to light a funny cigarette. Disco lights, status quo and abba.

Recent billionaire Kafusi sending a zoom message from a sauna with the full Penrith gold chains and sunnies on the big screen.

Big night for the club, everyone’s trying to forget, only 6.6% of roster filled and some junior turkeys from Currumbin High U 16s.

Kevmond hiding in the car park in his Holden Kingswood with listening devices, trying to find out what’s going on.

Words like “ pulling together as the one club” alarm him.. With his coach whisperer buddy sprouting 18th century Russian poetry wearing a pink tutu.

Wayne needs to raid the Soapdodger League. Bring out the English RL team. It should be able to beat the Cowboys and Broncos.

I posted this onto the stadiums thread which was a bit silly but it was in the context of another discussion.

This is really for the jersey thread, but I agree there is something not quite right about the Advdnture Kings sponsorship on the Dolphins jersey.

It doesn't trigger our usual complaints. It isn't too big. It isn't in a big box.

But I think it is to do with the fact the it is such bold clear writing of what could arguably be a mascot's name. When i look at the jersey I think of them as the Kings instead of Dolphins bizarrely for a second. It may also be because the Dolphins are new so we don't automatically associate their jersey with them (plus otherwise it is basically just a red shirt).

I guess it would be similar to if there was another team with a similar sponsorship. Eg, if the Storm had a big LIONS sponsorship across the front, they may get confused as the Lions instead of Storm for newcomers. But this is less likely for people like us because we are used to their branding already.

Additionally, its quite a bold blue. Makes me see them as a Red, white and blue team rather than a Red, white and gold team

Yep. Most of the NRL clubs started out in clean jerseys with no ads and a big dominant club badge. The Dolphins are going to be starting with a badge that is dwarfed by a big dirty ad for another club. I think the KINGs is a T20 team.
If I was the Broncos I would refer to them throughout Brisbane media as the Kings just to add to the confusion.

Was that back in the NSWRFL era over 50 years ago?

Broncos had their main sponsor "Powers" in the centre of their 1988 jersey.

No I mean the suburb of Redcliffe. There is no city of Redcliffe anymore. Its an outer suburb of Brisbane metro sitting in a LGA of MBRC. I live in a suburb in the city of Joondalup LGA but its still a perth metro suburb lol

Lol. Try telling a Redcliffe local they're a suburb of Brisbane.

What you do in Joondalup or Upper Kumbukta West isn't relevant to how people feel elsewhere.

The people of Jimboomba may disagree.

Logan once wanted to be part of the Gold Coast but the Gold Coast said no.
