Expanding into Brisbane, whooo the other codes must be shaking in their boots! It's like SL expanding into Featherstone!

Gallop is such a RL visionary!

lol no


Brisbane is the third largest city in Australia and is at the heart of the fastest growing region in the country. No offence to Featherstone but how is it comparable to Brisbane?


Besides, it's more interesting what Gallop didn't say. Obviously we won't be expanding the comp with just one team (A 17 team comp? Unlikely).

IMO he and the NRL are obviously planning on a second team to come in at the same time, which you can bet your house that it'll be the WA Reds. (A heartland team and an expansion team just like the recent SL expansion) Gallop plays his cards very close to his chest, remember how he treated the Gold Coast consortium when they had an overwhelming support to join the comp.

you live in australia and dont have much clue.

queensland will in a couple of decades become the 2nd most populated state in australia behind nsw.

with RL dominant in those no other sport will match RL, not even your beloved AFL.

queensland is a RL heartland, and we dont have enough clubs to service them.

more nrl teams in brisbane will also have the advantage of making it tougher for AFL, and could well send the brisbane lions broke.

queensland will be where the AFL as a so called national code fails very badly.

Hasn't Singos sale of the marketing rights to the Mariners in effect made it very hard or atleast very, very expensive for a club to go to the Central Coast now?
