18th club, whose next?

[Matt_CBY]

From a Perth audience?

Yes

 

[Matt_CBY]

You mean tiktok ?

Reels maybe. I’m no commie.

RL in the past would just bring in Bris 3 and be done with it. So I see this as a positive whichever way it falls.

Even if it is Bears in 10 years people will forget it was a Sydney club.

PNG will be holding its own not long after

Don't you think they should have their own team if they have the financial backing

 

[Bukowski]

Yes

Can you point me to them. This surprises me.

 

[Bukowski]

There hasn't been much mention of the bottom lines recently. That is a good thing

TV is the push I see for a recognised brand, We don't see the breakdown but Fox would have the data from Perth.

Most games, I think get watched on delay over there which don't show up on the ratings

Why arnt they pushing for the PNG bears? I doubt tv care about the bears brand.

People's opinion is dependent on whether they think Perth needs the Bears more than the Bears needs Perth - or vice versa.

Those of us who believe Perth is inevitable (Bears link-up or not) and doesn’t NEED to link up with them, also believe that Perth can hold out against the Bears more unreasonable "bottom lines"

I'm inclined to agree with that thinking.

What unreasonable bottom lines are we talking about ?, there are only three non negotiables

1).The Bear logo
2).The colours red & black
3).One game at North Sydney Oval (though it is reported sometimes more than one).

 

[Perth Red]

But they are a secret shhhh, do you see dead people to ?.

Now you sound like Pippen lol

 

[Perth Red]

So you'd rather they stick to another Brisbane team?

Didn't realise those were the only two options?

 

[Mother Nature's Son]

Luckily the guys on here representing Perth are a minority, because if they weren’t I’d be walking straight into NS Leagues Club and saying f#ck the Perth idea right off.

Yep, staring into the $7 schooners again.

Somebody please explain to him, please,
“THERE ARE TO MANY TEAMS ALREADY IN SYDNEY/NSW”
That is why the Bears can’t have their own team.

Would you be happy with just the Bears logo and the colours of red and black?

 

[Mother Nature's Son]

What's Perth got to do with a Perth team?

Nothing if you`re a Bears fan.

Yeah duh. Did I say any different?
I'm talking about Perth, not your reserve grade club

 

[Mother Nature's Son]

You are so full of it buddy

Roosters CEO Brian Canavan actually rang me once.

He didn`t make that mistake again.

 

[Perth Red]

You Bears people need to calm down lol.
If it works out great, you get a Perth Bears club to jump on which will be funny as f**k in its own way), we get a Perth club to follow and everyone is happy.
If it doesnt Perth still gets a team, Perth RL fans still get a club to follow (with better branding hopefully) and you can go back to talking about the next opportunity to get back in and the next and the next........

Any sort of ownership

haha everyone knew that except for him, doh!

 

[Centy Coast]

About 8 schooners in and I should be able to understand Perth Red and Buttwrinkles

 

[Perth Red]

Any sort of ownership

Hes already said the ownership should sit with the Bears and why would they hand over their brand/IP to another organiasation.
And there my friend is the major sticking point. Perth wont accept a NS club, NS club wont hand over ownership of its brand to Perth, this is why it seems doomed to not happen and why we have our fingers crossed the Perth bid can tick the boxes for the NRL.

 

[Centy Coast]

Any sort of ownership

Not anymore from what was reported at the Bears AGM in April
