Any new team needs to have a strong base for success, particularly in Brisbane where it makes sense to have a second team. Redcliffe Dolphins is really the only genuine candidate – they are one of the most profitable clubs in the country with a strong junior base, strong supporter base, success in the Intrust Super Cup, an 11,500 capacity stadium, gymnasium, profitable leagues club and on-going revenue from owning the lease to the local Coles shopping centre. A no brainer really. Certainly more appealing than the Brisbane Bombers who will have no club affiliation. NRL needs to take a leaf out of the AFL and admit new clubs with a serious base for success such as Port Adelaide.

Anthony Abdo and Laurie Daley, who apparently selected this side, must have been watching a different origin series. The selections of Cordner, Murray, Wighton, Papenhyzen and Haas are very debatable. Capewell, DCE, Arrow, Friend and Grant had much more impact. Murray played about 5 mins and Cordner about 60 mins over the entire series. A case of selection bias. I wonder which way Australian coach Mal Meninga would have gone?
