Copa Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 They’d get a similar turn out for 9s in one of the most rugby league parts of Australia, western Sydney, so I don’t know why the journalists would suggest the turnout in Perth indicates they don’t deserve a team. Perth sold out all available state of origin tickets almost a year in advance. As more came out later they were bought ASAP. Sydney and Brisbane can’t do that.

Sir Kevin Sinfield Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Surely an 18 team competition makes more sense than a 17 competition. Get 2 new teams in, there are no shortage of worthy candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davo5 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I can understand a 2nd Brisbane team,but Redcliffe rather than a Perth team really makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 It annoys me that poor 9s attendances are being used as an excuse for no NRL team in Perth. I knew that would be the case. Not everyone is interested in 9s, the figures suggest that many RL fans aren't when 9s events are held in nailed on RL areas like Sydney. Perth has had great State of Origin and NRL game crowds. It is extremely lame to use 9s as an excuse but pretty typical of some RL peoples agendas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE RED ROOSTER Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Makes sense tio Include Redcliffe Dolphins - now that the rail link to Kippa Ring is complete not to far from Dolphin Oval. Its a growing area . Not so sure about Ipswich though . Herws sopme pics of both grounds . Dolphin Oval First from 2014 then Dan Dempsey Oval in Ipswich - Room to build by 2023....

M j M Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Who would the fans for a second Brisbane team be? How many Rugby League fans in the Brisbane area are looking for a club to watch but can't stand the Broncos? I'm sure there are some, and I'm sure there might be some who would follow both but I can't see a sustainable club in a Crushers mk 2 scenario. Yes, I get the NRL wants to increase the South Queensland TV options but at the very least locate it in one of the outlying cities like Ipswich; although I note that article suggests they would play at Suncorp in any event which seems a bit weird. Any new team should leverage political support for a new stadium in its local area as part of the bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Brisbane city team could work At its height in 1995 the Broncos were over 40k and crushers were 20k but they played at different grounds. Now it's just Broncos at 30k. The rest seem to have left for other sports esp afl. A new ground in redcliffe would.be ideal and the government would happily fund it such is their love of rugby league North Brisbane or Moreton bay or sunshine coast dolphins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hela Wigmen Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I agree that Queensland should be the priority right now. It’s Rugby League territory and more elite clubs can only strengthen the game there and strengthen the Queensland Origin side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh that's obvious Like the titans got a new ground so could they I'm sure if Greenberg made it a condition of their entry the state government would A new 30k ground in redcliffe is better than making them play all the way in Brisbane Same as making the titans play there would be dumb Like I said they could play the other QLD teams at Suncorp They need to differentiate from the.broncos.

If Redcliffe is admitted without expanding their brand in 10 years once the novelty has worn off they'll be a Brisbane version of Manly. An isolated 'suburb' many of whom don't consider themselves as living in Brisbane at all. Something like: 'Moreton Bay Dolphins' playing 9-10 games at Suncorp with the rest split between Dolphin Oval & Sunshine Coast stadium. Targetting not just Redcliffe but North & East Brisbane, Moreton Bay, Sunshine Coast and up the coast towards Gympie & Bundaberg. That would be a good bid, Redcliffe is not, no matter how big their leagues club is. A standalone Sunshine Coast club would be a better bid than one based entirely in Redcliffe. A decent South-West (Logan, Ipswich, Towoomba) bid would blow it out of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 9s started at 4pm on a Weekday on Valentines day and the first day crowd reflected that. The second day got a much better turnout, big surprise there isn't it? The way the 9s was handled you could make a damn good conspiracy that the NRL wanted it to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
