18th club, whose next?

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

We don’t like pokies in WA

Other than proving my point about Western Australians being insular whingers, is there a point to this post?

 

[Wb1234]

The negative WA guys on here are in the minority, these guys want this, want that, some dope even asked who the coach would be ffs.
You guys would surely have to be single.

Single and not by choice

We have plenty in North Sydney Leagues Club

This is certainly a take.

I share hs sentiments all you guys are doing is shittng on all bids, and attack each other over it, it's basically not what the expansion threads should be about, who cares if the bears hadn't won since 22, parra hasn't since '86, I would've been 6 then, I don't really care either, but all these threads seem to be derailment of what's great about expansion, more teams in areas that don't generally have nrl presence. It's getting to point where we actually might need a moderator, the trolls are rampant after this magic weekend of revelations

Of course he said that. He needs those on the ground floor to decide to partner with the Bears.

If that is done. The Bears will get in, TV will want the viewers for the Perth East coast games.

The league will want the pathways.

What the non Bears bid can do is find a partner to do that as part of the Business case

The reality is a standalone Perth-based team is worth nothing to FTA. Thursday night games in Perth are out of the question due to kick off being at 6pm.

If it wishes to have a Friday home game screened on Ch9 then kick off will be at 6pm. While it's possible to do this on a Friday, it's terrible for attendances and will be competing with the 6pm news for viewers in a parochial fumbleball market.

No one on the east coast will care about the team unless it is winning.

It makes sense giving a Perth-based team a brand like the Bears so it can have relevance to FTA viewers on the east coast.

 

[Centy Coast]

Serious question for the W.A. brigade, where will their headquarters potentially be based ?.
Perth City ?, near HBF Park ?, Scarborough ?, the Pilbara ?.
What location would best suit a NRL league franchise ?.

Worth nothing to Fox too

Clubs dont vote on which bid from a city gets in, well except broncos getting to pick dolphins over easts lol

Wrong they will vote on the bid, if it holds the bears brand it more likely to pass, if it doesn’t they might not want to

Correct even those on the ARLC. We only hear from PVL but he can get out voted.

Not all are Sydney centric either

 

[blue bags]

That’s why V’Landys called all the club executives together during Magic Round to discuss the PNG option. Nick Politis loves the Bears and V’Landys looks up to Politis.

Both have the same background

Can you read? I said they don’t get to pick which bid. The nrl does that then presents their choice to the clubs for acceptance, bribes in hand.

You know someone has lost a discussion when they revert to Wb level posting

I expect the govt to build them a centre, possibly in the bold park area where they have numerous other sports centres. Nice area, big park, next to city beach, millionaire houses for the cashed up players and coach.

Has the WA Gov said how much they'll spend on a high performance training centre and upgrade for PRS?

You're the guy who stalks people who played 30+ years ago so you can harass them while they try to live their life.

The ARLC will not move forward without an overwhelming yes vote from the majority of its current clubs, yes there will be softeners thrown in but what Uncle Nick wants, Uncle Nick gets, that’s why there was no Central Coast Bears.

I can’t help it if former legends of the game live close to me in a rugby league heartland that is continuously ignored.
I only personally know a few of them like Greg Florimo, Dave Fairleigh, Brett Kenny, Steve Ella, Mark O’Meley and Michael Buettner, as for the others I only know of them from their playing days.

Expansion is the increase of teams. Doesn't mean more teams in other areas. As long as discourse is civil, there should be room for different opinion.
