The Brisbane Bombers are ready to become the 17th team in the NRL competition.
The franchise's bid director Nick Livermore says Australia's Rugby League Commission is clearing the runway to expand the NRL and the Brisbane Bombers will be ready for take-off.
The Australian Rugby League Commission has announced plans to kick-off a competitive selection process for an extra team in Queensland.
Chairman Peter V'landys is keen to add a second team in Brisbane in 2022 which will guarantee more derby games.
Livermore says his team will be based at Suncorp Stadium.
Queensland currently has the Broncos playing at Suncorp, the Gold Coast Titans at Cbus Super Stadium, and the North Queensland Cowboys who are based in Townsville.
