2nd Brisbane Team / Relocation

[Howard Moon]

Some numpty on Zero tackle has written an article as to why the North Sydney Bears should relocate to the Gold Coast. K.

Bears the turd that won't flush

North Sydney bears should be the name of the new Brisbane team because Brisbane is north of Sydney and it will piss them off

I'm all for expansion into Brisbane but NOT at the expense of a Sydney team (which will be relocation).

Relocating Manly, Sharks or Titans would mean that the team would still have that existence away from their heartland... pretty bad move IMO. Relocations do not work, simply start a new team up there.

Unfortunately because of the Souths court decision last decade there is pretty strong precedent that simply contracting a team contravenes the Trade Practices Act. So the NRL is forced to call it a “relocation”.
