Just to clarify, Redcliffe is its own city....across a large bridge....on a peninsula... this battle of Brisbane nonsense is just clever marketing but an insult to the people of Brisbane :P
I disagree with Gus about having a third Brisbane team. If anything especially with the Dolphins doing so well, we need to promote the local cups more (NSW Cup and the Queensland Cup). Also if they want another expansion team, put it in Port Moresby. Yes, initially you'll have players and there families hesitant to move to PNG but Rugby League is more than just a game up in PNG. Rugby League is nearly like religion to them, an NRL team would do so much good for not only Port Moresby but PNG as a whole.
I agree with both regarding the popularity of RL in PNG & the safety there. PNG boys make every human shake with fear when your facing them, they are just absolute guns and hats off to them but the civil unrest and potentially life endangering circumstances for the players would be wayyy too much for the NRL to handle.
@@two4mediapng They should have both. Rugby Union is great in Fiji only because they dont have access to Rugby League so much. Same as in every other country. Rugby League suits more Fijians and other Pacific Islanders than union. Union is only for big fat pu..ies.
Dolphins are gonna have to start playing at their own stadium soon enough. Once the hype dies down not many Redcliffe locals will want to drive all the way into the city to attend each game.
Atm, there's only about four consistent top teams in the NRL who will eventually show their class by the middle rounds. The rest of the teams are average who play mediocre footy in front of mediocre crowds as the season drags on. The Dolphins have the opportunity to pick up a few more points. Me thinks there should only be a top four in the major and minor finals. Winner of the major straight through to GF and loser play winner of minor for the other GF spot otherwise the finals become a tedious long winded affair. That way the scramble for a final spot commences from the very first game. Btw, Redcliffe is not a suburb of Brisbane but of Moreton Regional City Council. The other issue is the State of Origin where 65% of players are of Pacific island & Kiwi descent with a spattering not from either state. Maybe the event should be expanded to include ACT, Victoria etc..just a thought !
@@Threeniner At least justify your comment. I like the Dolphins but do we really need a second team in "Brisbane"? All it did was drag Broncos supporters, players and super coach away from Redhill to Redcliife to the Red Faces of many an administrator..lol

Redcliffe always played in the Brisbane comp
I suppose it's a similar situation with Cronulla in relation to Sydney. Some say it's included. Some say it's seperate.
It's not a city it is its own LGA. Moreton Bay, Ipswich, Logan and Redland LGA's are all generally considered part of the Brisbane metro area.

Unfortunately its just not safe in PNG.

Forget Port Moresby or PNG! Have it in Fiji instead although Rugby Union is great there.
Instead of a third team, howsabout the NRL gets behind the Titans and invests more into that QRL side. Yehnah?

We don't need a third team ffs. Let's not saturate the market like Sydney. Less is more.

how can Gallen say he's not against a 3rd team after a decade of saying "we dont have the depth!!!"
Because he is capable of realizing his previous position was wrong, learnt from it and changed his position. Real men are capable of this.
@@t3chhh which would make sense if he came out and said that but he hasnt. He was never for a 17th side and now he wants 18 or more lmao
@@t3chhh interesting to see what he says if the wheels fall off the dolphin wagon
@@shanewilson199 was thinking the same thing Shane
Dolphins are def top 8 team, but not top 4 yet.
The crowd wasn't 50/50 lmao, more like 70/30 Broncos way and thats with Dolphins having the cheaper tickets because it's their home game.

Gallen is seriously starting to slur his speech - the result of his boxing career.
That's not battle of Brisbane it's a Battle of Brisbane Broncos and Redcliffe Dolphins
