Central Queensland's NRL bid boss says financial problems at a potential feeder club won't impact on their "compelling case" for inclusion.

Bid CEO Denis Keeffe said the CQ team would be the "most viable sporting organisation in Australia" if given an NRL licence.

New QRL boss Robert Moore said this week it wasn't a good look for CQ rugby league that Queensland Cup side Central Comets were battling, even though the second-tier club had no links with the bid team.

The Queensland Cup club's general manager Jamie O'Connor will continue to work with the Comets on a long-term financial plan after players boycotted recent training sessions over late payments.

But Keeffe did not believe the CQ bid would be damaged when the NRL assessed their application.

He said his consortium had spoken with the QRL in a bid to "work through some scenarios" to help ensure the Comets' survival.

"We are conscious of the fact that they (Comets) play a vital role in the establishment of development programs and a career path here," Keeffe told AAP.

"The Comets are vital to what we are trying to do.

"We will work through some scenarios when we speak with the QRL again in Brisbane next week.

"In the meantime we will continue to work hard on our compelling case to the NRL.

"We are probably going to be the most viable sporting organisation in Australia if they decide to give us a licence - and I can prove that with our business plan."

Keeffe did not seem concerned that NRL boss David Gallop said this week that all seven bids that had expressed interest for a possible 2015 nod had "more work to do to convince us of their place".

Keeffe backed their "quiet achiever" approach, in stark contrast to rivals the Brisbane Bombers who have turned heads - and arguably stood on toes - with their bold plans.

The Bombers appear to have earned the ire of Gallop by suggesting new teams enter in 2013 rather than 2015 and ruffled feathers by targeting rugby stars Quade Cooper and Sonny Bill Williams.

"We aren't creating the headlines that may or may not be required - we don't care about that," Keeffe said.

"We don't believe a headline now and then or some announcements that don't mean a lot will get us a licence.

"We think substance counts. We are happy with the progress we are making."

Keeffe said he was more than comfortable with Gallop's timeframe for a new NRL club's inclusion.

And he was convinced a national franchise would emerge in central Queensland - he just hoped it was rugby league.

"We know that we may never get this chance again," he said.

"We don't have a national sporting team in central Queensland of any description - we would like it to be rugby league.

"If it isn't rugby league it will be something else because the area is going through a massive boom.

"It is fertile ground for a national program."
