The expansion bid, the Brisbane Jets explored a deal with Souths Logan, but the decided to go with us.

according to Monaghan the partnership will allow the club to to work strategically with the Intrust Super Cup clubs in key areas headlined by talent development, community engagement and commercial growth.


Brisbane interim CEO Neil Monaghan said:

“These three great Queensland Rugby League clubs possess a combined 560 teams and almost 10,000 participants in both senior and junior teams,” said Monaghan.

“It makes sense for us to strengthen our long-term alliance with Norths, Souths Logan and Wynnum Manly on a range of levels in terms of developing talent and providing a pathway to the NRL, and helping invest in the game at a grassroots level.


“We are the Brisbane Broncos and strengthening our partnerships with these three local clubs for the next three years sends a strong message that Brisbane is indeed our heartland.”

Souths Logan CEO Jim McClelland said.

“We are proud to continue the proud association and relationship built over six years with the Broncos in 2021,” Souths Logan CEO Jim McClelland said.

“Through our affiliation we have seen players from our affiliate junior clubs offered a direct pathway into the NRL, without having to leave home to do so.

“Souths Logan Magpies will continue to work closely with the Broncos to ensure our two brands stand together, continuing to play a positive role in the clubs and community we represent.”
 
Yay! A win for us for once, well at least to keep developing for other clubs anyway.
