Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 3327452, member: 2290"] I agree with all your points but I don’t necessarily think they need to be successful to impact us. I mean they will impact us on more subtle levels. Your examples of players wanting a big pay day to go there, that just as easily equates to our players using that to drive their prices up to stay because they can threaten to go up the street for more money. Sure this will impact all the clubs but as it will have the least geographical impact choosing between the 2 Brisbane clubs it will impact us the most. We are already getting into bidding wars with the titans every time one of our star players come off contract and that will be the same with Brisbane 2.0. We now also have to contend with another club sniffing around young QLD talent. Again, this is already happening with the other clubs but it will impact us (and Melbourne) the most. Sponsorships will be another area that is impacted. From a neutral perspective I’m a big fan of the idea of the Dolphins getting an NRL club (I don’t rate the other options) but i think it will no doubt have some impact on the broncos. I think if anyone will be able to minimise the impact it will be DD and Ikin but if the old regime (White/Nolan) were in charge I think it would put huge pressure on the club. [/QUOTE]
