‘The’ lol
No..we f**king hate redcliffe.. not sure why everyone thinks sunny coast is a feeder for them or want them playing out of here like it's a sunny coast team
Broncos didn't play out of suncorp in1995... they were at the qe2 stadium 1993 -2003
yep the people who think Moreton Bay and Sunshine Coast is just one big continuous area who will all band together and support the same team don't know shit.

As someone that grew up on the Coast, and came through Junior RL up there, there was zero, ZERO connection or goodwill between the two regions. It may have changed somewhat over the period I’ve been away, but I do spend time up there for QRL games and there’s still the same dislike from the locals I have beers with towards the Dolphins. I laughed at the idea when they were fighting for the 17th license.
Whether it's right or wrong, the only reason people think it is because it was mentioned multiple times during their launch and the bid winning process that they represent Moreton Bay and Sunshine Coast right up to Central QLD. This was mentioned by Abdo and the Dolphins quite a bit.

None of the changes the fact redcliffe is not sunshine Coast and in general sunny coast has no love or affinity with redcliffe.Whether it's right or wrong, the only reason people think it is because it was mentioned multiple times during their launch and the bid winning process that they represent Moreton Bay and Sunshine Coast right up to Central QLD.

They are trying to differentiate them from the Redcliffe Dolphins, hence the name of the NRL team.
“Moreton Bay is the third-biggest council area in Australia and the fourth biggest is the Sunshine Coast - nearly 900,000 people live in that corridor before you get to Brisbane." - Dolphins CEO, Terry Reader
"Our Moreton Bay campus, which currently has more than 3,000 students across 60 degrees, is a hub for learning, teaching and research, and we expect closer ties with this major professional sporting team to bring mutual benefits.” - University of the Sunshine Coast Vice-Chancellor Professor Helen Bartlett
“Redcliffe is no longer the name, they are quite deliberately calling themselves the Dolphins. This is about owning Brisbane and not just having a second Brisbane team, but owning the north as well.” - NRL CEO, Andrew Abdo

As the Dolphins take the leap into next year’s National Rugby League, the Moreton Bay region’s own university campus will be front and centre in a partnership combining education and sport.www.usc.edu.au
What’s that got to do with the nrl side ?
As stated many previous times, including to thick afl fans like yourself, 'the' is not part of Dolphins official name.
Having chosen redcliffe that was what it should have been all along with all games at Suncorp. Smacks of appeasing Broncos by not calling them that and having them play in Brisbane only part time.
