But the NRL will do all they can to funnel talent and big names to the new team in the hope of success. Comps too light on depth, addition of new team in the next 4yrs is lunacy. With no junior comps due to covid they need to wait it out longer. I wouldn't be looking at expansion for at least 5-6yrs. Our product is a joke atm ridiculous rules chopping and changing all the time. Pandering to tv execs detrimental to the game.
If we're going to add a team I would rather a team in Perth or second NZ team than another Brisbane team.

If the NRL are going to funnel talent and big names to the new team than we are safe

I’m a pensioner and I’ve followed the Tigers all my life as my dad was born in Balmain.
Woonona is where I was born, just north of Wollongong.
When the Steelers were admitted I followed their progress but always went for Tigers when they played each other. Now they are 95% St George and I have little interest with them now.
Been in Rockhampton close to 40 years now and Tigers are still in my blood.

Well a word of warning to the Wests Tigers how many Brisbane fans will switch alliances with a new team rather than support a merged enity that are not performing.
I certainly would consider it if the Dolphins get the Nod and the same management at the Top in place.......
I am a very loyal person but there is a limit as i already switch offs games we are not performing in rather than watch the whole game.
Doesn't sound "very loyal". "Somewhat loyal" perhaps.
There are tonnes of QLD-based Tigers fans, I think many of them would already have quit by now if good performances are the primary condition for ongoing support.
Have been a supporter since the late 80s, but this week considered what I’ll do if the new venture is Redcliffe based as has been suggested.
Could be very difficult to continue supporting the Tigers given the extremely rare opportunity to start supporting a local club from their inception.

Yeah agreed. I'm from Qld and always hated the Broncos and have supported the Tigers since 89. If a new Qld team starts up though Il most likely follow them as.well. Redcliffe has a strong club and tradition. Be nice to start fresh.

I used to surf at Sandon Point on the other side of Woonona as a young bloke, beautiful spot.

That gives them 1 year to get everything ready to go including signing a squad of players, coaches and office staff. That’s a quick turnaround.
