Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3329273, member: 1769"] my personal opinion is that as per usual the NRL haven't thought through expansion properly. The AFL only have two teams in QLD and they already have direct rivals in the Broncos and Titans. now, if they were really concerned about the AFL's threat in QLD, then they would have been better off spending more resources aimed at schools and grassroots footy. if you wanted to combat this so called threat with a new franchise, then the wrong team was admitted as the Brisbane Lions are expanding into the western corridor not the northern ... which means the Jets should have won the licence. The AFL threat was over-exaggerated as a reason to get a new team into Brisbane to compete with the Broncos not the AFL. and while they concentrate on this fictitious AFL threat in QLD ... they have given the AFL a free reign of Western Australia. FTR I have nothing against the Dolphins, they do deserve a licence, just not before Perth got theirs since Perth was the greater need to the comp and sport as a whole. [/QUOTE]
