This thread is literally titled “18th club, who’s next?”

PNG being next seems to about the only post that actually is on topic.

Such an amateur mistake. You’d hate to see it.

Fair call.

try reading. NSLC fund the NSFC $130k, NSFC run on a budget of $550k (2023). They have more revenue than just the LC.
Do you even know what goes on at your club?

When this guy says “NSFC”, does he actually mean “NSDRLFC”?

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Clearly you dont know your own club lol. They are run as separate businesses with their own set of accounts. The NSFC spent $550k in 2023 running rugby league programs. of which $130k came from the LC.

Glad I could school you on how your club works, you're welcome

Beating his chest because he doesn’t understand the terminology of what an over arching business means.

What a moron.

PNG seems a given now. Going to be interesting to say the least!
Im going to be really interested to see how they set them up to be able to attract a squad that can compete and if the other clubs will accept the advantages they are going to have to be given to do that.

Despite a stadium not really fit for NRL, a business case that fails to stack up, no value to TV and pretty much everyone else in the NRL thinking its a terrible idea Vlandys seems determined to make the train crash happen.

Yes, couldnt be arsed to keep typing all that out, I think even the dumbest understand what I mean by NSFC?

Melbourne are in top 4 watched clubs on tv whilst some Sydney clubs sit in bottom 5. You might be overstating the importance of a resurrected Sydney brand on tv audience outcomes?

Melbourne have a huge following in QLD. That ensures they get a healthy TV audience but most importantly they are the same timezone. So Melbourne fans can watch.

Lets assume that FTA puts Perth team games on for the novelty factor early on.

How many locals are tuning in at 6pm Friday or 5.45pm Thursday to watch?

You have them play Broncos. There is no interest from the Sydney market in that game.

You have Perth as a known brand and you get some interest. The merger with Newtown would of had the same effect just without the juniors.

As opposed to Pirates or something that no one has a hatred or like for.

Guys just an fyi

sigh, do you understand that the football club spent $550k running its programs in 2023? And that of that $550k spend $130k came from the leagues club?

They are legally separate orgs with separate annual reports, separate boards and separate financial reporting. How can you not know this?

If you take Cumins at his word. Maybe you should take Andrew Hill at his word as well when he says PNG is financially strong without government funding.

Do you seriously just go through every clubs financials and annual reports hahaha, how much time do you actually have on your hands ?, seriously that’s not healthy mate.

Thought you might be talking about mythical organisations again.

Again that doesnt happen for all sydney clubs now. So will a perth club being called bears really make that much difference in Sydney? Maybe 10% tops if we are being generous. Certainly not enough to be a deal breaker one way or the other. Form, star appeal, opposition, time slot. They arguably have a much bigger bearing on tv audiences than just the brand. Melbourne pretty much prove that in the Sydney audience ratings.

You do realise as it’s been proven time and time again there’s more than just a football club under its business right? There’s 11 businesses in total all which are profitable.

Please enlighten us more with your business wisdom.

Thanks for the evidence of what I was suspecting.

Question for both of you. Is the North Sydney Bears a chance of being introduced as a standalone club?

If the answer is no, then that'd indicate that they require a partnership and can't go it alone, and therefore no they don't get to dictate anything. It's extremely arrogant to think you get to have non-negotiables when the other side is the only reason you have the opportunity to get a team.

As the moron argues more and more because he doesn’t understand.

Previously mocked Norths Collective because it shares same ABN as Norths Leagues. Now is confused that companies under an umbrella can have different ABNs….

I have a development company which has a different ABN to my building business - but they are under an over arching business. What a moron Hull Bear is. Can’t understand simple business.

Now trying to differentiate Norths Leagues and North Sydney Bears like they are alien to eachother as his argument.

What a moron.

Why ?, because of Perth Red and Buttwrinkles fairytales ?.
The accounts were also discussed at the AGM.

 

[Perth Red]

I'm interested in the business side of the game as well. You think I'm bad now, wait till I start early retirement in a year or two lol

and in this particular case knowing who we might be getting into bed with is important. So yeh Ive had a good look through the NS books. And tbh they dont impress me, certainly in the lack of investment in the RL side of things.

Perth Red picks and chooses who he believes and who he doesn’t, he is just three hours behind the rest of Australia.

TBf you also said there was no way it would be based in PNG, insisted they we woud be in before 2026 (waiting on that bet pay out!) and that Cairns would be getting a stadium upgrade to accommodate them.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day!
