I just cant see it. Its going to take a few years until they become a threat to us. They need time to recruit and get players coming through their system.

It's interesting the differences between how the two teams leaderships are treating this fixture.

Terry Reader is talking it up like this will be the greatest rivalry in world sport. comparing it to Souths vs Roosters; Port vs Crows; Man U vs Man City.

Kevvie is the other extreme with a "lol, whatever you reckon"

Terry Reader said:

“If you look at the rivalry between the Rabbitohs and the Roosters, I think this is going to be bigger. Brisbane is the home of rugby league. The sport is king in our city.

“The difference with Sydney is that they have nine teams but in Brisbane we have only two.

“The rivalry is already at fever pitch inside 15 months and that’s because a lot of things have happened between the two clubs to add extra spice to it.”

“This is ‘Battle One’ and so it will continue for years to come. In Adelaide they have had more than 50 showdowns,” Reader said.

“With the Showdown in South Australia you have the closest link to what we have here in Brisbane with the Battle only in a different code, because you’ve got the Adelaide Crows which were a manufactured expansion side and Port Adelaide which came out of the SANFL to play in the AFL.

“We are the first BRL/QRL side to ascend into the top flight. That is lost on a lot of people.

“We didn’t just get made up 15 months ago. Our foundation and DNA is 76 years old (with the Redcliffe Dolphins) and some of the greats of the game have come through this club.”

“We have taken players from the Broncos. I have no doubt as time goes on it will happen both ways but at the moment we welcome two current Broncos (Thomas Flegler and Herbie Farnworth) next year,” Reader said.

“Don’t forget this is our home game at Suncorp Stadium. The Broncos are now co-tenants.

“It is not just their home ground. It is our home ground too. We will host the first ‘Battle for Brisbane’ and that adds even more spice to it.”


Terry Reader (on Dolphins web site):

“This is truly going to be a historic day for rugby league in Queensland,” said Dolphins’ chief executive Terry Reader.

“As our coach Wayne Bennett has said, this rivalry has the opportunity to be as big as some of the other great same-city rivalries across the world.

“The Manchester derby between Manchester United and Manchester City springs to mind.


Kevvie said:

“I guess that’s why the Dolphins were put in Brisbane, to create that rivalry, but we’re not rivals of the Dolphins - we’re the Broncos. That’s our club, that’s who we are and that’s our mindset, we are the Broncos.”

Terry Reader is an embarrassment to Redcliffe.

So in reply to Terry and the Dolphins, I quote the Fast and The Furious…

Does Terry Reader ever shut the **** up? Jesus take a breath mate.
 
according to Kunt ... Wayne is inside our heads
 
It makes sense for Felise to challenge the grading when Suaalii got a Grade 1.

If the NRL are fair dinkum about protecting playmakers from late hits in the back, both of them will be getting a Grade 2 and sitting out games. But as we've seen so many times before, sometimes there's a disconnect between what the MRC sees and what the judiciary sees.

I'm completely expecting Felise to get a downgrade.
 
The comp seems very level this year, Tigers and Knights look terrible but otherwise could throw a blanket over most of the teams.

Really the Broncs could and should thump the Cetaceans. However as the Dragons have shown a strong effort against any good side that isn't on their game... is going to get you close to a win.

I hope he doesn't target Reynolds.
 
The fact is, the deck will be stacked against us on Friday when we play the V’Landys Dolphins. We can’t leave any doubt in anyone’s mind who the better team is. Pump them by 30 and the ref can’t call the 50/50 calls against us. Or should I say it won’t matter if he does.

On paper absolutely.

My worry is Benny will feed them coffe via IV drips and they will find an extra 20% and rattle the cage early.

If we can hold them or break them inside the first 50mins, we can sail away.
 
With our luck, kaufusi will be downgraded and free to play. He will do a similar shot on Adam Reynolds 10 minutes into the game, break his ribs and puncture a lung for a long stint on the sidelines. The NRL will then crack down on it and give him a 3 week ban.
