18th club, whose next?

[Bukowski]

Whichever bid gets chosen as team 18, I think we can all agree, that..... wb1234 will say he predicted it.

He's now courageously picked Perth as 19.

 

[Centy Coast]

Yeah right. VLandys had already chosen Perth.

He called you a rusted on AFL State seriously

Cowboys fan

he knows all about what being a loser is

Cowboys have been a rabble since the 2017 GF. The players don't want to defend. As a fan it's hard to watch their games because it's obvious they aren't putting in 100%.

Scotty Drinkwater will come across to Perth, Scotty loves the Bears.
I can get him to give us a shout out if Canard wants lol.

It must be a powerful bid to change his mind to put us in front to be team 19.

Again the definition of a loser, the Bears when in the NRL and before that the NSWRL never had the wooden spoon since 1979 and before that 1951 what do you call clubs who have had two sometimes three consecutive wooden spoons in the last few years ?.
You obviously have never ever played competitive sport.

Lol you won 2 comps 100 years ago and then nada.

 

[Bukowski]

Lol you won 2 comps 100 years ago and then nada.

Last time they won the comp they had to go back to North Sydney on a ferry.

 

[flippikat]

AI is a wonderful tool

It'll fit right in with the expansion sub-forum, then - the place to go for wonderful tools

 

[Canard]

So the Warriors have never won a NRL title are they losers ?, players like Wayne Pearce, Steve Roach, Andrew Ettingshausen never won a Premiership were they losers because of this ?.

Norths last premiership was 1922.

Over 100 years of winning nothing.

They are the very epitome of losers.

 

[Wb1234]

1994

in the time the bears got kicked out Canberra has won the same number of comps as them

Hold on, there was that great early 1990s Bears dynasty in reserve grade

He is a rocks and diamonds type of player. Can throw a wonderful cut out pass that leads to a try, then throw an intercept that gives one away at the other end.

Is this an Expansion thread or a sodium mine with the levels of saltiness being thrown about here??

It seems that on here the Centy Coasts/Red Black and Whites are more than stoked to have a chance at supporting a club on the opposite side of the continent but some “potential” Perth fans are gonna nit pick every detail because it doesn’t fit their vision from 20 years ago. And that’s after it seems all the excessive and unnecessary demands have been taken away from what the Bears are asking.

I used to think Donkeys constant trolling of Perth was excessive and unnecessary, but reading the last few days on here…….. f@$k me….

Be happy Perth is finally being talked of as a serious option.

Haha, f**k me. Straw clutching much?

This is certainly a take.

Zero nrl titles buddy

just making the finals is like winning the big prize

 

[Red&BlackBear]

so four clubs that have nothing in common with the north sydney bears

On the field? Nope. How can they but off the field which I was referring too - heaps! They have been building with portfolio with business investments/assets for good growth. So there is a lot in common. Especially with Panthers Group.

I’ve explained all this already though - boring to go through it again I’m sure as you don’t strike me as a type who wants to read about business and financial mumbo jumbo.

The Bears are perennial losers, on and off the field, that's part of their identity and appeal to Boomers.

Could count in one hand the actual boomers at magic round. Everyone else looked under 35/40.

Off the field the overarching business that owns them is flying - all been explained already last week. All naturally side stepped. None of the turnips care about the actual business side that goes into running a club. Why would they be? It’s all magic dust and wish foundations.

According to Rock&Sock Connection a 68 year old Peter Cumins (proper boomer) is the answer to Perth stand alone bid. His claim to fame is Cash Converters - a company that has fluctuated all over the shop since they are battling against online trade markets like market share. Soon his main bread basket will go the way of physical media and video rental stores - as second hand markets cuts out the middle man. His company has had decreasing returns of 8.2% a year for the last 5 years and 6.7% declining dividends for the last decade.

Now to the turnips here that means nothing - but to business people like PVL and the games share holders that means a lot. It means handouts and propping will be needed in few years should they go standalone or these non rugby league people decide they don’t like the game anymore and to their own state government in W.A. it means more tax payer dollars spent on an exercise.

Bears bring their own resources - the big clubs already know this so their bottom lines are fine. Nick Politis is a big advocate to bring back the Bears in Perth for this reason.

PVL also knows the importance of a new club bringing this business model and resources to the table hence he says its sensible because financially the NRL will need to spend much less on the Bears in Perth. WA government are for the idea because it means they also need to spend considerably less money on it.

Less money that these fat cats need to spend means more money for them in their pocket. More money for them means that bid is more likely to get in. Fox and 9 also see this and Dolphins success has them smiling ear to ear all the way to the bank.

It’s simple business. Simple finance. Simple politics. Genuinely am astounded how a few in here just don’t get it.
