Are the Tigers still aligned with Melbourne? I can see Grant ending up at the Storm.

Can we just take him and not reveal the first name to get the fans excited.

So this is 100% going ahead next season? Thank sweet Christ almighty for that. No lower grades was a huge impact to our squad this year.

I haven't heard anything different, it was only a few months ago they represented the Tigers on their training kit.

These are the affiliates as far as I'm aware.

Brisbane: Norths, Souths Logan, Wynnum
Gold Coast: Burleigh, Tweed Heads
Melbourne: Brisbane, Sunshine Coast
North Queensland: Mackay, Northern, Townsville
Warriors: Redcliffe

Unaffiliated: Central Queensland, Ipswich, PNG.

Newcastle has a development pathway set up with the Jets.

 

[Allo]

Easts changing to ‘Brisbane’ and not being aligned with the Broncos does not look good on paper at all

 

[Spoon]

Get in there with PNG Broncos. Don't need to send any of our players there but give the PNG guys a pathway to the NRL.

It would be a great strategic move imo.

The Easts Tigers re-branded into the Brisbane Tigers.

I can't say I'm a fan, but I haven't really heard the rationale behind yet.

fair enough ... not sure i see the point in that though

 

[Alec]

We always knew Brisbane would eventually become a Melbourne feeder club.

Must be something to do with their 2023 bid??

I wonder how die hard Easts fans feel though

 

[Sproj]

We always knew Brisbane would eventually become a Melbourne feeder club.

Eventually? They’ve won premierships for the better part of 15 years thanks to our feeding them.

Beale to Tigers and coaching at Marsden School.

 

[1910]

Hodges coaching at Dolphins with Mogg and Scott Hill.

Guy Williams to Capras- Corvo loses his man at Wavell.

 

[1910]

Mullen to Falcons. This should be interesting, his ban doesn't end until Monday so he can't train until then but starts on Monday and at 33 with no pre-season and four years off going to try again.
