    Bears Confirmed & Rumoured Signings

    The loop hole would be that and Tax Free is from the PNG government and not the club

    Bears Confirmed & Rumoured Signings

    Cap certainly should be 20% higher for them and cover relocation costs for players. NRL owning them has probably forced their hand in trying not to give them unfair advantage

    Bears Confirmed & Rumoured Signings

    Clearly you still have comprehension issues still. So how would you sell moving over to Perth to a gun 16 year old?

    Bears Confirmed & Rumoured Signings

    Not at all. I will explain it better. Westfield sports high in Sydney has a gun 16 year old half back. He goes to School Boy carnival and carves up. Every club wants him If he can get everything Perth offers and still see his family and friends with a couple of hour car ride. Then what...

    Bears Confirmed & Rumoured Signings

    Funny you mention Matt Cameron. He is CEO now but he was a coach, He was assistant to Brian Smith at the Eels. The Deputy Chairman at the club is Greg Alexander. Then you have Ivan who has been around the game continuously all his life. You have another Football knowledge to put that with the...

    Bears Confirmed & Rumoured Signings

    I am not sure that works in sport. The ex federal treasurer on board, probably wrote that. Sport is a win/loss industry. That is all that matters. The NRL is one of the hardest to succeed in There is no draft There is a very strict Salary Cap. It isn't like they can just open the wallet...

    Newcastle, Wollongong, Redcliffe I would say all tick those boxes too

    Bears Confirmed & Rumoured Signings

    Well Mal as late as September still was hoping Howe would be on board.

    Bears Confirmed & Rumoured Signings

    So the Titans incorrectly accused Ezra Howe of trying to poach players on his way out the door?

    Bears Confirmed & Rumoured Signings

    To be fair, the question isn't will they be viable. I have no doubt those involved can run a business. Who has recent successful experience running a successful team? That is the issue for me here, they have the Titans recruitment officer and Mal. Who as has been mentioned hasn't held an NRL...

    Bears Confirmed & Rumoured Signings

    That is it, Those who decide to take their families up. Rent out their house and they get that too. So it is huge to set you up post NRL, Perth doesn't do that. Mal was always going to be a figure head coach, problem is the players don't know him as a great of the game. They would be better...

    Bears Confirmed & Rumoured Signings

    I was called anti expansion for years on here, They had to be the Bears to ensure some sort of interest. The more NRL teams the better, This seems very rushed. Compare PNG and this, Perth of course is the better place to live This is year 3 of PNG using the Panthers model to develop talent...

    2026 rumoured and confirmed signings

    Flegg guys have a higher ceiling, guys like Mav were just taking the spot of someone who could of been developed. So the club made the right choice

    Bears Confirmed & Rumoured Signings

    No it isn't but I doubt there are many who move for the same situation. I mean if Westpac - I will use a sponsor of the game for this example Were to get a manager from QLD and offer them a job an executive job in Sydney. They can pretty much offer anything they want. I know of people moving...

    Bears Confirmed & Rumoured Signings

    Wishart probably walks into most sides as a 14, balance wise should of played Origin last year. So he is decent enough in the role he is in. We offered Henry $300k - seems reasonable for where he sits. He is getting double at Perth. I doubt it is a 1 off. The poms would be cheap enough...

    Bears Confirmed & Rumoured Signings

    I will use this example because you used Burton. He has a toddler, His partner is local For him to go over there, he needs to convince her to leave her job, leave her friends, family and support network. Especially over there where players will be away for longer and more than he is now...

    Bears Confirmed & Rumoured Signings

    They signed some great workers no doubt. Not really we have a new team who is a new market, They need to have some players who will get people both here and over there keen to watch them. Most ( a few trolls excepted ) on here will watch because it is footy, There are more people in the...

    Bears Confirmed & Rumoured Signings

    There are 400 players in QLD Cup Same in NSW Cup so they were always going to fill the team. Henry is a worker who does some stupid things, He isn't going to terrorise many packs. Which actually sums up most of the guys they have signed. Wishart is bench 14, Is he a spine player hard to say...

    Season 2026

    No trials last year, So he didn't even have a proper pre season.

    Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

    Yeah but they have a seperate broadcast deal, So Paramount plus don't have staff on the books purely for that. NRL need to produce their own content and then that becomes viable but even that probably isn't cost effective
