Western Corridor NRL bid

[adamkungl]

Meh...there are better names than the Crushers...surely theres some awesome vicious native animals hanging around South QLD. There are no snake or spider mascots in the NRL. Vipers or Cobras or Redbacks or something...

South Queensland Cobras has a nice ring to it if you ask me...................

 

[taipan]

Nah .I would go for the Taipans mean,fast ,slippery,venemous,scary and bodies to kill for.;-)

 

[Smiley]

South Queensland Cougars

Automatically gets the women on board.

9 teams in Sydney yet I don't see 2 Sydneys. Ok there might have been once but was it a good idea?

Cobras in QLD?

Are there Raiders in Canberra????

Or Dragons/Dragon slayers in Wollongong?

How does this bid expect to be taken serious if they are still confused about their identity and what area they are actually covering?

CCBEARS know what territories we will be covering, like wise with CQ & W.A. and even a second NZ team (which has no bid but knows what area they will cover).

I'm all for a 2nd Brisbane team, Ive lived there most of my life. But you also need organization to have a bid and this Ipswich or Western or South QLD bid has nothing at the moment. Let them sort out just what area they'll first be covering then everything will go from their (business model, ownership model, community initiatives, colours and branding, sponsors & corporate partners). However they have none of this at the moment because they are not sure what area they are bidding for.

Was just a vague guess. Replace with Taipans

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Are there Raiders in Canberra????

Yeah, but most people call them politicians.

There's already a basketball team in Cairns with that name...............

Use a real Australian name like the Wombats - hard, compact , great forwards pack comes straight to mind and after the nation wide recognition of Fatso the Fat Arsed Wombat at the olympics they get so many supporter. I say any team without a real Australian name should not be allowed into the Comp so for the Central Coast it is the CC Koalas (Imagine the merchandise they would sell to the tourists)

If you have ever been to Ipswich, you could replace it with TurdPans.

Although clubs like Newcastle and Canberra may already have registered the name, not to mention 50uffs

The post I responded to mentioned native animals.

My guess is they are bidding for Ipswich Jets to be awarded a franchise and they would be drawing on support from those Brisbane people who are not Broncos fans.

Wombats is a lame name for an NRL team. Almost as bad as Swans, Cats etc but then AFL is a lame game.

Whats wrong with the Jets?

 

[bobmar28]

Whats wrong with the Jets?

Nothing, it's the name Ipswich have had for 30 years and refers to the nearby RAAF base.

 

[juanfarkall]

Within the local community (Ipswich and SW Brisbane) the Ipswich Jets have a reputation for being a financial basketcase who continually struggle to pay their debts.
Even in the past few seasons the club has been existing on the bones of it's arse and has struggled to make ends meet.
Those of us who have had the misfortune to deal with the club over the past 20 years find it more than a little amusing that the Fokkers have the audacity to be speaking about an NRL Bid as anything other than pie in the sky as it has little credibility within the local community with anyone other than those seeking publicity and an extra line for their own CV's..

Yes!
Although it might harm the Coogee-Randwick Wombats NRL aspirations :sarcasm:
