What was touted to be decided with community consultation after the bid was awarded apparently is now non negotiable according to the Dolphins.
Having recognition to the local region, has potential of of $75 Million+ economic growth for Moreton Bay.

The disrespectful and bordering on deceptive approach by the Dolphins goes against the strong feedback from supporters and makes mockery of the $10 Million+ investment of public money that has been made into the stadium and getting the Dolphins ready for the NRL.

Council has a massive role to play in economic development and needs to fight for regional recognition.

From a newspaper article on the 9th of Feb 2021 “The Redcliffe Dolphins will always exist and they will play in the Q-Cup and down to juniors and under-6s but the NRL entity will have a broader appeal so we want the public, who are going to be our fans and support the team, to take ownership of it and suggest a name that best represents us," Dolphins NRL bid chair Terry Reader said.

I abandoned NRL 25 years ago when my Bears were unceremoniously dumped. I briefly thought...perhaps. But I'm sure my garden or a good book will continue to benefit. No time for the politics of sport.

If they’re not going to help support the community then perhaps it’s time the council stopped aiding them with grants and funding.

The NRL is just like politician, everything they say and promises they make ‘you should take with a grain of salt’

The club makes millions from poker machines. Why does the council fund them. The land was bequeathed by a dairy farmer. We live in Woodford. When I drive around Redcliffe and Bribie I see where MY rates are being spent. The Redcliffe Dolphins have and always will be. The Dolphins aren’t the Redcliffe Dolphins. I don’t care about this argument the mayor is creating. I care about koalas dying. I care that the difference between Redcliffe and Bribie is so stark from the rest of the shire. I don’t care. But I’m thrilled that Wayne is going to coach. I’m going to go to games.

Its pretty rude, hopefully council can remind them all the support they got and all the supporters they are already letting down

I agree. The foundation of the club, the fans and the finances are Moreton Bay based and that is what got the Dolphins over the line for a place in the NRL as well as the strong growth forecasts for Moreton Bay.$10 million of upgrades and support from the Moreton Bay ratepayers is not chicken feed. At the Moreton Bay Region Leaders Forum earlier this year, there was strong support for the bid from all 3 levels of government in this region. Where is the support from any other region in the quest for this NRL place?

Sign the petition for 'The Dolphins' to include a geographical name eg Moreton Bay Dolphins as part of it's identity, and to give their core group of supporters in the Moreton Bay and Greater Brisbane regions a sense of ownership, pride, belonging and Peter V'landy's favourite word, "tribalism". chng.it/FZDfK9b9

Councillor Tony Latter how much funding have we (ie: council) given the Redcliff Dolphins in the last say, 5 years?

Typical of the NRL. Alll they care about is money/ bums on seats. They the NRL will have the say in the name. NRL u r still a joke.

'More'... at a huge cost to what every level of Government chooses to turn a blind eye to as it doesn't suit the narrative... natural environment and lifestyle. Don't come back at me about MBRC's Land Buy Back Program - that does naught to offset the loss of trees (known source of removing co2 from the environment as well as providing much needed shade) in those areas where MBRC has decreed that to meet State Government targets shoebox lots are the way to go. And let's be even smarter and make sure the necessary infrastructure is not there before we do it!!! Maybe the 'More' tagline should include 'More of a nightmare for existing residents...' (I am presuming local rate payers are supposed 🤔 to benefit from the 'More'....

And over 90% of respondents to the Moreton Says survey value our (rapidly diminishing) natural environment. Preserve natural diversity.

I just want a bitchum road to get to my property...not a dirt road like in a 3rd world country......

Slogans with "B" words seem to be popular these days. The"Bigger,bolder, brighter" of council,and the worldwide "Build back better" . Just a casual observation. 🙂

Dolphins grilled over 'disrespectful' name

1 week ago

Peter FitzSimons says it all when he said in relation to the Dolphins proposing not to have a location in their name "Could you be more disrespectful to the town, the area, that gave you who you are."

In an attempt to have a broader reach, the Dolphins want to retract Redcliffe and Moreton Bay from their name. This will be at the cost to the local area, local tourism and local businesses who have supported the Dolphins to get to where they are today.

In an area of 500,000 residents, currently the size of Parramatta and Penrith combined and growing to 700,000 in 18 years, we need the Dolphins to support the local area and be proud of where they come from.

If they can't be Redcliffe Dolphins due to their State League and Juniors team still being Redcliffe it has to be the Moreton Bay Dolphins.
What's your thoughts?

The potential of a national team in Moreton Bay is massive for local industries, however the majority of the benefit will be lost without the Dolphins recognition of the area. I do not see any basis for the claim of needing a wider support base.

They've been happy to accept considerable sums of grant money from Moreton Bay ratepayers.

Agree 100%, what NRL team isn't linked to a locality?

Totally agree Councillor Tony Latter

They should be hounded. It's ridiculous that it won't be Redcliffe Dolphins

Those that are concerned are more then welcome to attend the meetings and have your say instead using fb to attempt to shame the board who haven’t announced their official name yet anyway. They also said they were caught off guard with the early announcement. Given They are hoping to attract members from North Brisbane to Sunny Coast minimum why would you restrict your base to just Moreton Bay LGA and Moreton Bay itself actually stretches from Gold Coast (Titans) past Brisbane (Broncos) to bottom of Bribie I can see the issue here. We still have Redcliffe Dolphins in the QRL, this is an extension of that. Surely there is better things for the Council to be concerning themselves with?

So, before they accepted all the support and backing from Moreton Bay,I suppose they did not discuss these sentiments with MBRC? If not, that is rather deceptive, I believe. The assumption of many was definitely a local identity for the NRL club if successful.

Queensland Road Team Series by AusCycling have been through Dayboro, Mount Mee and Wamuran over the weekend. It was a privilege to present the women’s winners today.

Thanks everyone for their patience with the event, but it was disappointing to hear of nails put on the road, which didn’t only effect the bikes but local motorbikes and cars as well. ... See MoreSee Less

Anyone who thinks nails on the road are funny needs to think again. My family have had their tyres destroyed more than once in the last few years with nails and other debris on our roads. Inconvenient,expensive and potentially dangerous. Glad no one was injured.

Oh my goodness I hope noone was hurt 🙁 fair out we all hate getting stuck behind slow people or slowed down when we're in a hurry but you whinge for a minute and drive on. I hope they get caught
