One of the oldest clubs in Australian rugby league has launched a bid to become the NRL’s 18th team after opening a new $10m stadium
“Our NRL bid will leverage our great club’s 90-year-old history of legendary players and coaches, premierships and Queensland spirit to become the go-to team of Queensland’s fastest growing region,” Tigers CEO Brian Torpy said.
The club, known as Easts since 1933 before the Brisbane Tigers rebrand in 2020, hope to join fellow south-east Queensland teams the Dolphins, Broncos and Titans in the expanding competition. North Queensland is represented by the Cowboys. The Tigers’ bid chair, Shane Edwards, pointed to the initial success of the Dolphins, who are competing in their debut season this year, as reason to believe his club can step up and join the country’s premier rugby league competition.
