Bear, Queenslanders are an interesting breed IMO, eh but.

I lived there years ago and at the time Holdens catch cry was "Australia's Driving Future", but in Queensland, it was "Queensland Driving Future". Ask a Queenslander and they are a Queenslander first followed by a Australian.

At the time I was living there Powers Brewery had started (Bernard Power had been asked by Sandgroper Alan Bond to move on after he bought it) and so they boycotted XXXX and were drinking Powers. Where I was, XXXX was basically being given away, whereas you had a single 6 pack limit on Powers.

I am from Brisbane myself and when the "Sunshine Challenge" (pre-season) tornament was held in Brisbane a few years ago it was terribly promoted.

I don't remember any advertising or media coverage at all except for the NBL website.

I would love to see the Bullets back in the league, while I didn't support them growing up, they were the closest team to go and watch occasionally, so I have lots of fond memories in BrisVegas, but forcing the issue if there is insufficient long term backing/support will be DISASTROUS to the league...

Grass Roots might be going strong, but the crowds didn't turn up when they had NBL Pre-season or when they had Boomers games... Only so much can be attributed to poor advertising, I just hope things have changed in the last couple of years...

side note: I really hope the NBL isn't going to force things with more than two teams coming into the league in 2015/16, it really spooks me the way they keep talking like adding 4 teams at once will be a good thing, I just really couldn't disagree more...

Aaahhh Jack, you funny bugger, are you describing the 'hokie pokie' dance there mate?

I wonder what the cane toads think about that...

They certainly had their feet firmly planted in the origin game last night, didn't they!

Brisbane is a must, next season may be too early but it must happen IMHO!

A Brisbane team is essential IMO to round out the capital cities and complete the league. Queenslanders like to be half a step out from the rest of Australia, but they need to be in step on this one.

Rod Grizzard arrived this afternoon and faced a barrage of waiting media and cheerfully posed for a couple of fans.

I will attend tomorrow's training and hopefully have some pics to post tomorrow afternoon of his first training with the team.
