Do North Sydney Bears fans realise they're not getting a reincarnation of the North Sydney Bears?

The only time they will be able to watch the North Sydney Bears run onto NSO for a match is in the NSW Cup and lower age competitions.

Joint ventures never work. At best, the Perth Bears will be a squabbling mess like the St George Illawarra Dragons and Wests Tigers. At worst, they'll end up like the Northern Eagles and Brothers-Valleys.

It's why the only way I support the Bears coming back is as the Central Coast Bears. At least that has the capacity to work.

This has already been addressed.

I think it would have to be a joint venture.

You'd expect North Sydney would want to protect their right to continue to run their junior programs and a NSW Cup side without a Perth base entity shutting it down.

The critical area will be the joint venture board structure which must give the majority share to the Perth entity to run the NRL side in Perth as they see fit.
Well opinions on here have historically been incorrect.

Can you link it, because your mate wb is claiming it will be a 50/50 joint venture, and as we all know, he's read all the bid docs.
I don’t have mates on here.

It’s behind a paywall for those of us that aren’t cheap. I would of thought you’d have a subscription Perth Red.

Why would I have a subscription to read what Murdoch trash writes? 99.99% of what they write is agenda driven bullshit.

Oh and lol at being called an alt by the account that didn't post for 10 years and then suddenly returned knowing everything about everyone.

You know your mate there is saying the opposite to you right? He's claiming the Bears will have full ownership, not a joint venture. And yet you 2 are apparently using the same source.

And can someone tell Swannieboy that V'landys never said anything about a joint venture. It's conjecture by the journalists, not a direct quote.

sook harder.

All the information is publicly available. I just don’t let my biases and emotions get in the way.

No, PVL stated that Perth won’t get a team without the Bears and Bears won’t come in without Perth (Location).

No where did he state it had to be a joint venture. A full relocation will fulfil what PVL has said.

Bears will retain their entire history. The partnership between the Bears and Perth will be through the WA Government in my opinion. Not with a WA consortium or bid team.

I assumed this the case too, I mean I keep hearing the govt liasion didn't want Cumins to talk to the bears or arlc, so that just means they are happy to have that brand just port over, without the current WANRL involvement
