Welcome to the comp, Redcliffe.

Good summary. He’s basically trolling now and quite clearly had a pro afl anti rugby league agenda.

He’s held up afl as a pinnacle for 20 years that the nrl should follow

the giants are one of the biggest expansion club failures in Australia. The afl version of operation Barbarossa

1000 paying fans is a joke

 

[Canard]

that’s where the bs is

he should be sued to defamation

I don't think you understand what that word means

 

[Wb1234]

Maybe it has a different meaning in north qld

some who makes a false statement which has an adverse financial impact can be sued for defamation.

here ends the lesson

gill shouldn’t lie like this

No that's not it. Have you got a link to him saying such dumb shit by the way?

And if you could sue someone for making dumb predictions, then the entire Fox Sports commentary would be penniless, not to mention you, me and half of LU.

Shit, V'landys would be a 10 time bankrupt.

It’s on the gill McLaughlin thread

he says in one or two years time afl will be number one in qld

maybe next time you should read the actual quote before jumping in lol

What thread? Link?

Like I said, you would be broke if you could sue people for making dumb predictions.

Thank you from the CEO

A new era of Dolphins history is underway. What an opening month it has been in our journey into our inaugural NRL season.

Thats excellent, the one game memberships will certainly have boosted those numbers. Great start for them.

Shame their half back is out for four months and they are stuck with milf

My Dolphins heritage jersey arrived today.

My Dolphins heritage jersey arrived today.

I bought the white/gold away looking good

 

[xe_kilroy]

I bought the white/gold away looking good

I like the away one more than the home one too. All the little red piping on the white makes it pop, and the smaller difference between white and that washed out gold isn't so obtrusive. Good choice.

 

[titoelcolombiano]

I said they wouldnt be as big a threat as the Firehawks, who would have been a genuine Brisbane side playing all games at Suncorp. But keep making sht up.

You didn't list the weaknesses of their bid either:

1. Not quite as strong financially as the Dolphins (although still mightily impressive)
2. They are a carbon copy of the Broncos, not catering to a different market within a growing region

 

[titoelcolombiano]

Surely not? We were told that brisbane2 would make lions a non entity? I demand answers.

Go and take a look on any forum where AFL fans are discussing the Dolphins. They know that this will restrict future growth for the Melbourne Lions.

 

[titoelcolombiano]

I did say the dolphins will crush the lions

as you’ve pointed out I didn’t expect it to happen in three weeks

sponsors crowds and tv ratings will all head south for the lions

gillon said in a year or two afl would be number one in qld

that’s where the bs is

he should be sued to defamation

I too said it. The more the NRL grows with SEQ, the more it restricts the Lions' ability to grow. They rely heavily on expats from AFL states as it is, the Dolphins have dampened their plans up north and the Jets will come in in a decade or so and rain on their parade out west. SEQ IS Rugby League, Melbourne can take their Lions team back whenever they like.

yeah sure... you know Sydney has 9 teams, 9!! hasn't stopped the Swans becoming the most attended team in the city. Perhaps we need to add a 10th team to Sydney, 9 just isn't quite enough.

The Swans haven't significantly grown their attendances or TV ratings since 1996 though. What you see with the Swans (and the Lions mind you) is the AFL tragics in Sydney (Brisbane) concentrated into one team. The Lions are exactly the same. Haven't significantly boosted their crowds or TV ratings since their golden run in the early 2000's.

So yes, NRL growth in SEQ will make it harder for them to grab more market share, just as the 9 NRL clubs in Sydney have really prevented the Swans from growing in any meaningful way in 25 years despite the untold millions spent in both cities.
