Central Queensland havent picked a name, no bids from NZ have been brought forward and the Ipswich bid is the Western Corridor not the Ipswich Jets, they also havent picked a name or colours and have stated they wont be the jets.

You also forgot the 2 perth bids.

Novo's right, the NZ bid hasn't been formalised ... and there's been more talk of it being based in Wellington, than earthquake ravaged Christchurch (particularly in a stadium that's not open anymore, and down for demolishment due to earthquake damage, I believe).
