Well the NRL needs to move to Perth but the Queensland league people would throw a hissy fit if it was the Titans relocating to Perth. Relocating to be the second Brisbane club (which was on the cards a few years ago) seems the logical choice.
There needs to be less Sydney clubs so moving one of them to Perth would be ideal but the NSW league people will throw a hissy fit over that too. So guess it's expansion time in the NRL.
i don't get the idea of moving the Titans to Brisbane. There are enough established Brisbane league identities to build off, without importing another club with a failed history that needs to build fans from scratch.
Agree. A failed franchise will always carry the stigma of being a failed franchise.
If they do get another team in SEQ they should call it Ipswich-Wests or something like that. It will give them the entire area from the western suburbs of Brisbane and will include Ipswich, Springfield and maybe even Toowoomba. That would give the team more of a territorial identity and still include a large number of people in a rapidly growing area. But obviously it will have to be strong from the getgo or will flop like the Crushers.
Don't understand Redcliffe. Very strong league town, but low population. If Titans can't succeed at the GC then I don't know how Redcliffe will do any better.

every week the game they play in , is probably the game of the round that less people give a fuck about,
bit of a difficult one for the AFL,
but the Brisbane Bears were a bit like that in the beginning
Ironically the Brisbane Bears were originally playing precisely where the Suns play now in Carrara on the GC. It wasn't until they actually started playing in Brisbane (and started winning a few games of course) that they took off.

The merge with Fitzroy was the big one ,that’s where they created the great team that won a few flags, but before that , it was pretty ordinary and had a similar vibe to the suns.

They were actually getting some real momentum even before that. The move to the Gabba was massive. They made the finals in 95 and finished 3rd in 1996.

Adam Blair is a complete waste of space

I thought in league you had to regather the ball when it goes forward, before you can make a pass?

They thought he could be a Wiki type leader. They were wrong
-
Tough conditions out there. Looks slippery under foot and if you can step or change direction you are a chance to beat the defence.
Good speed off the ruck and Nikorima started it.
-
Dummy half running is the key to modern league
-
-
If Nikorima and Luke stop trying the miracle plays on the 5th tackle we will create pressure and actually score.
Blake Green needs the ball on the 5th.

Geez we do dumb stuff.

Massive forward pass completely ignored
-
-
Seriously, the pass was 2 meters, and it traveled a meter forward, and 3 officials missed it?
Oh, now you spot one.
And we drop it. Fuck you fluffybunnies suck.

If we lose from here....

Fuck fifita is a dumb grub.
And Blocker is retarded. If that's not a binning nothing is.
