That's just the problem though!
If a team is going to be based in Perth it should be for the people of Perth and have the teams success in Perth be it's foremost priority, not pandering to what's left of it's old fanbase (that's what their NSWcup team would be for, BTW no offence to the old fanbase lol), and a brand that both loosely represents Perth/WA and is marketable should be found to represent them, correct me if I'm wrong but tigers simply aren't that brand.
Also it will negatively affect the club (and by extension it's fans) because if the Tigers brand does move to Perth the first thing coming out of the media and opposition fans (both in RL and in other sports) will be how there're not really Perths' club, and the second thing will be a constant barrage of articles and suggestions that the Tigers will be moving home to Sydney every time they start to not go so well. Don't believe me just look at the Swans before they got successful, or the Lions before they won their hat trick of "flags" (even now they still get the odd jab), or go have a look at the Oakland Raiders and LA Rams existence, even we the Raiders still get the odd "Queanbeyan Raiders" jab from detractors (though admittedly that's not quite the same).
Those sorts of rumors and articles and the uncertainty they create can have a massive effect on support, especially for such a raw supporters group in a developmental market like Perth I'd imagine.
Don't get me wrong I wouldn't be opposed to the Tigers keeping their brand if they moved over to Perth, or anywhere else for that matter, as there're positives to keeping their old brand just as there are negatives to creating a new one, it's just for mine the positives to changing brands outweigh the negatives.
