Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 3228353, member: 8988"] My understanding was it was going to be a qrl run franchise initially but was stalled when the brl clubs couldn't come to an agreement. The NSWRL then offered it the private consortium and the rest is history. The brl may have thought they would have ended up with more input perhaps (their clubs were supplying a lot of the player talent) and gave way. ' That's why there was antagonism with the brl. I thought the combined Brisbane team in the Panasonic cup was a stepping stone towards it, in hindsight. I can't remember where I heard it but it may have been a Paul Morgan interview or perhaps another director. They of course may have had a different version of the truth than say the QRL. I always suspected the crushers were an attempt to try and rewrite history on that front. [/QUOTE]
