18th club, whose next?

[Perth Red]

If the WA Premier didn't annoy the shit out of V'landys when he's not sooking to the media about the east coast ignoring the west coast then Perth wouldn't even be considered as a potential expansion location.

There's still no guarantee Perth will get a licence.

You keep holding on to that lol

 

[Perth Red]

There's an Adelaide bid?!

Bears will still need somewhere to go in 2035.

 

[Perth Red]

Perth Rat has set himself up for a lot of shit to be flown his way.

Using his logic, PRS needs to be rebuilt to accommodate 40k people and draw an average of 35k to their games. The club will need to generate $25-30m ftom sponsorship, corporate hospitality, ticketing, merchandise, membership and signage. A high performance training centre worth about $50m to match the big clubs will need to be created, too.

I'm sure he'll blame its failure to live up to the high standards he's set for everyone else on the ARLC not spending enough money on the NRLWA and not allowing the club to use the right shade of red, white and gold in the its colour scheme.

You so funny,
the pain oh the pain ……. I bathe in your salty tears now perth is a Vlandys fave for expansion lol

 

[The Great Dane]

PVL forcing Perth to take on the Bears would inevitably end in tears.

The only reason you'd do it is to appeal to the boomer audience in Sydney, but the question is, or rather should be, who should be the target audience be if the goal is to build the most successful Perth side possible; the people of Perth/WA or boomers from literally the other side of the country?

If WA/Perth has any pride they'll tell the NRL f**k off if they try to force the issue on the Bears. Don't degrade yourselves out of desperation, if the NRL refuses to treat you with respect take you money elsewhere. You'll be happier in the long run.

Parramatta is a Sydney suburb playing in a so-called National Competition, PNG is a whole Country playing in a sub-par State Competition, a supposed league mad Country where rugby league is there No #1 sport, their religion.

Irrelevant

Perth won't get in without bears

Perth bears to fail like reds did?!

 

[Pippen94]

His reputation is on the line with this move. If there's crowd violence at a game in Port Moresby and it leads to some one getting maimed or killed then it will be a public relations disaster. If the club generates low attendances in Port Moresby and doesn't generate significant participation growth of the game across the country then it will be the biggest flop since Adelaide and Perth went tits up.

NRL just needs to collect cheque for it to be success

..Perth bears were a negotiating tactic for Vlandys

Perth will suffice. You can do circles around the ground in your mini cooper each time a try is scored. Like Buck the Horse at Broncos games.

Its the right colours after all

 

[Wb1234]

Perth bears until 2040 when central coast gets a team and switch

 

[skeepe]

Perth should be the next team. PNG is such a stupid idea I can't believe it's gotten to this point.

Geez if the reporters think players having benders and assaulting their partners is big news wait until PNG enters the NRL.

Anyone else starting to think it not enough money?
I'm getting sellers remorse.

There's no Perth bid

 

[AlwaysGreen]

There's no Perth bid

There's no tender. So why would there be a bid pipsqueak?

 

[blue bags]

I remember the PNG hunter's team years ago
When the team was in Australia
Half the team defected. And refused to go back to PNG. Some of the players went on massive bender in Queensland
