The Dolphins host the first “Battle for Brisbane” on Friday night at Suncorp Stadium and Reader is tagging it as “Battle One” of many in the future.
The South Queensland Crushers in action against Balmain in 1995. The Broncos had a short-lived derby with the Crushers, but that lasted only three years.“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 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.
“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 didn’t just get made up 15 months ago. Our foundation and DNA is 76 years old and some of the greats of the game have come through this club.”
