18th club, whose next?

My answer is to not let the simpleton running our country f**k up expansion with his daft proposal. China isn't going to invade Australia when America is our ally and has military personnel in the country working with our armed forces. The scaremongering from Labor is racist bullshit like the crap they spouted after WWII with Chifley's "populate or perish" slogan.

 

[MugaB]

There's an Adelaide bid?!

Nope most likely it will be Fiji double the sweet govt mula

 

[MugaB]

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

And it's going further, a decade further in fact

 

[Centy Coast]

Hmmm I bet none of the Origin stars will sign up to play for PNG though lol

 

[Foreign Legion]

....Melbourne Rebels?

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Its the right colours after all

Is this close?

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.

Yeah because the Perth Bears don't do both

Nope, the bears don't appeal to people here in Perth.

 

[Centy Coast]

Nope, the bears don't appeal to people here in Perth.

There is a poll on the West Coast Pirates Facebook page that currently states otherwise.

 

[final say]

How much do y'all think we could get for a Taiwan team?
The "Taipei Not China's " ?

I get it. But if it ends up being Perth Bears

- all 12 games in Perth
- Bears operations run out of Perth
- North Sydney presence only for pathways and financial support from the Norths group
- NRL stipulation that the licence is tied to Perth as a location

Would you support them?

What would be the point for the bears?

20 is the ideal number but might not be the definitive number. Things change.

Bears have the cash.

20 teams gives you 2 pools of 10 teams

You play your pool twice 18 rounds

And 10 cross pool games

28 rounds - we have 27 rounds today. 28 if you include Vegas round 0

I wouldn't change clubs, no.
Now, if the Perth backers have the finances to satisfy the NRL why would they take on another clubs identity and not just set up a feeder system with an east coast club?

 

[final say]

Actually, we could get maximum dollars out of a south China sea tea..
" the south China sea turtles "

Ah yes, incredibly scientific Facebook polls. The post you responded to says people in Perth. The first comment on the facebook post is a Bears fan who lives in Penrith. Is Penrith now located in Perth?

There's been a lot of new people join the last week, all from the east coast. lol.

No Perth Bears Facebook page though.

Perth is just an abbreviation of Penrith after all.

My old man has lived in Taiwan for 20 years. He'll take care of the corporate support

Not sure what they are willing to give to get the brand back in the NRL, so not sure
