    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    With todays news that the nrl is committed to a non private investor model (at least for WA) where does that leave nz2?

    Not really though todays media would suggest it is: the money for the interim training facilities (the WB bid was going to cover that now govt) The offer to match any grassroots funding nrl puts in to nrlwa paying for some development officers free stadium use for undisclosed period the rest...

    NRLWA is the NRL so they cant own it. Sadly when we lost the independent WARL we lost that opportunity. yes very pleased with that, after decades of NRL neglecting grass roots funding to WA I'm glad the WA govt is going to hold them accountable and expect a partnership approach to grassroots...

    actually reads like on top of the original offer of a CofE, stadium improvement and some grassroots funding for schools program (all still in this) they are now agreeing to cover the $25mill temp accommodation costs the bid was going to fund and are offering a 1:1 funding to NRLWA depending on...

    They were asked by the Western Bears bid to make the offer as part of this meeting. Sounds like NRl had already decided to forego on it (probably already got the ok from clubs the $60mill from PNG was enough) and take ownership of the club at the start before going to either a private sale later...

    Not sure where you have got these ones from. nothing in that article suggest WA govt is paying a license fee, they offered one on behalf of the western bears bid to own the club but it was turned down. WA govt are not paying anything into the annual running of the club, NRL will front up...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Exicitng news out of todays Perth NRL expansion stories: WA Govt funding would be worth $350 million-to-$500 million and would include a proposal to increase Perth’s rectangular HBF Stadium from a 22,500-seat venue to a 27,000-seat venue and upgrade the stadium’s facilities to ensure the new...

    Looks like the NRL is going to own and fund the start up of the club with WA govt chipping in some of the initial start up costs relating to venue usage before the CofE is built. Good to see an expectation of 1 for 1 funding for grassroots between NRL and Govt. Lots of good news in that...

    you're late into this one but discussed infinitum previously the new club has to pay homage to the bears traditions but first and foremost be perceived as a new West Australian club for West Australians. This juxtaposition between old and new needs to be reflected in the name, logo and colours.

    I'm going to be interested to see (presuming Perth is announced as in) if A) The WA govt has upped its finical support and in what areas B) What model of ownership the NRL has landed on C) if the Western Bears consortium are back as alluded to in last weeks article D) If not who is running the...

    yeh be interesting, cost of SOO and if last years Dolphins game is anything to go by is going to be hard in same period for many. I presume they are trying to encourage dolphins and Newcastle fans to come over and make a few days of it.

    I think that could well happen regardless of if KO is 2027 or 2028. Id expect some targeted players out of contract end of 2025 to look for one year deals in 2026 until they joined the WA club. In some ways, as inpatient as I am!, a 2028 KO would be no bad thing. Gives time to get the CofE and...

    No, the stats show there is substantially smaller subscriber % in Qlnd than NSW. Put down to Broncos having every game on FTA so no need to buy fox. Although denied at the time as being part of the deal, since the Dolphins admission Broncos prime time tv FTa slots have dropped by over 20%.
