A second Brisbane NRL team should be a brand-new franchise based in the heart of the city, Broncos great and current director Darren Lockyer says.
Lockyer shared his thoughts on a potential new Brisbane side with Wide World of Sports, speaking out against the prospect of relocating or eliminating a Sydney team.
He said that while there would be obvious impacts on the Broncos, Brisbane was ready for another NRL franchise.
“I think there’s enough corporate dollars in Brisbane. It might impact the Titans somewhat, so the NRL might have to consider that,” said Lockyer, a Channel Nine commentator.
“The Broncos aren’t everyone’s cup of tea in Brisbane, so I think a second team would be supported from the fan base.”
Lockyer also said that for now, the NRL should not expand by more than one team; which would take the competition to 17 clubs.
Here are the big talking points from the Broncos icon on how a second Brisbane team (or potentially a Perth franchise) should be handled.
Pretty dumb from Lockyer to be supporting a second Brisbane team. You'd think he should place corporate interests of the team as a board member a bit higher than personal opinion.
