Fair enough. I was assuming North Sydney Bears would cease to exist after a period of time, as it was a full club relocation, but that may not be the case.
It would not be a relocation at all. It would be a joint venture with NS the minor partner. Run by Perth, out of Perth. Perth get a recruiting zone, in return for the Bears name returning to the NRL. There is very little in it for Perth unless NS and its zone remaining as is for eternity.

the whole country is a recruiting zone for all NRL clubs lol I'm really confused what some people are trying to argue on here

This news is regurgitated from a Daily Telegraph article which has already been countered by the Sydney Morning Herald. Take of that, what you will.

Its cute that you came running here to post that though.
Correct but for the other way around?
So what about Foxsports (you know the TV broadcasters) saying the timezone is what gets Perth the gig, has been countered?

For some reason, Sydney people think that there is some law that prevents anyone from recruiting within their out of date "junior catchment" boundaries.
its like people didn't notice that the Dolphins just recruited the best 30 players they could find and not a whole bunch of kids from Redcliffe. Perth will pinch players from all over the country, whether they play for another NRL club, a Super League club, Mounties or the Mackay cutters.

This is the story about Perth.

The NRL wants a team there. They have hinted to them that a link with a Sydney club could assist them in getting in.

They were linked to the bears.

Bears fans went off half cocked with 'we're back'. Bears officials did the same with their ridiculous non negotiables.

Perth said 'f**k that shit, lets talk to the Jets'.

how many people from Perth will watch tonights game Live?

They would love to have a Sunday night night game in the middle of winter. Played in perfect sunny conditions.

The quality is much better.

The flip side is the East Coast need interest for when they play in other timeslots

Disagree

bears have juniors, a leagues club and will be able to get 10k members from the north shore

at a pinch Newtown might get decent member and nothing else

Fantastic idea 🤩
Newtown Jet's
And Bear's
Go to Perth. 2 juniors feeders clubs
Becoming the Perth Bears on Jet's
Or the Perth Jet setting Bears
