By The Roar / Editor

QRL chairman Bruce Hatcher wants a Sydney club moved to Brisbane, rather than adding a 17th team.

The Crowd Says:

What does the QRL have to do with relocating a Sydney club???

You may be right. I have no problem with a relocation team but it would have more chance working in Perth. Doesn't ignore the fact that a 17th team is just flat out stupid.

All good choices. You could throw in punching Nate Miles in his big melon as well. Perhaps we could make it a mural instead.

But what pose would you immortalise? The stitch ripping, the dumping the unconscious opponent, or taking a hit-up when the halves are begging for the ball?

So if we relocate the Sharks to Brisbane does that mean we can erect a statue of Gal out the front of Suncorp Stadium?? He is a Sharks great after all. Up Up.

Here on the G C the Titans are accepted,a relocated Sydney team would never have succeeded in my opinion. If there's an additional team in Brisbane, it will have to be a completely new franchise, be it the Dolphins, Jets or Firehawks. I'd disregard anything Hatcher says Fark, supporters up in Brisbane would only support a new team, much like the Broncos when they started.

Apparently he’s been pushing this barrow for some time.If he was Fair Dinkum he should say “a Sydney Club” ,not just the Sharks.Obviously just a Shark hating Qlder ,not a forward thinking intellect with something to contribute

Queenslanders would never accept a transplanted Sydney team. Hatcher must have had a few too many Irish Coffees for lunch.

Who is this F…wit.Instead of “look over their” how about get your own house in order.Why is it always the Sharks that have to relocate- I think the Dogs or West’s tick a lots more boxes to move outta Sydney?

Yes because a "new" Brisbane team will build the rivalry and generally increase the games imprint even in Brisbane. A Sydney club moved to Brisbane will fail and just take away from the game. Unless that is his real goal with the comment.

Is it really any more stupid than an NRL that wants to add a 17th team which adds no more games but needs more players and doesn't actually expand to a new market?

Bruce Hatcher should resign immediately for such a comment. That comment alone shows he is not fit to do the job. It is beyond bizarre that he could live here, be the head if the QRL and think that is a good idea. It is mind boggling.

The fact that Hatcher is the head of the QRL helps the coherent minority to understand how rugby league in QLD is in such dire straits
