18th club, whose next?

[Bukowski]

Cumins has clearly said perths preference is to stand alone but if Bears can show a commercial reason he isnt going to be stupid about it.
Let’s see if Bears offer a big enough financial carrot when they meet.

The guy from Freshwater talked a lot about the jets today on SEN.

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

Yep, the only fair thing to do would be for the perth club to get 16 home games and nrl to pay for private jets lol

Perth should have no less than 12 home games. Making them fly to Sydney to play two games at NSO is bullshit and shouldn't be given any consideration by V'landys.

 

[Centy Coast]

If you feel so strongly why not let Cronulla relocate to Perth for the good of the game

home crowd last night was horrific

norths could come back as central coast bears and would be far stronger than the sharks

Yeah Sharks are such a huge success story, one premiership title in 57 years.
Can’t even afford their own NSW Cup team, easiest draw of the NRL competition, two years in a row and still struggle with the top teams.
And the Premiership win they do have was as tainted as it comes.

I’m against any games at nso unless there are sound commercial reasons to do it but if they did then they could schedule it so they based themselves in nsw for three weeks at a time.

The NRL should make Perth play at Henson Park lol, enjoy a cold KB on the hill, and the old Newtown bicycle fellow can do laps around the ground with his flag and his whistle everytime Perth scores.

Park your car inside the ground and watch the game lol

Forget fair. I'm in favour of Perth getting more home games. If Perth get the nod, there's no reason why the NRL can't buy a few games for them.
A Perth opposition at home is a hard sell, so it won't take much convincing.

Ironically one of the appeals of a jets partnership is they wouldnt be demanding we take home games from perth

They could, in theory, get state govt to fund a season opener double header at optus each year where the perth team is the away side. That would take Away one travel slot.

I wouldn't be against it for thier first year, a little bit of a nod to the past. Ideally moving forward, all home games should be in Perth. Maybe trials in North Sydney

 

[Iamback]

Still going for two home games at NSO ... it's not NRL standard.

It holds 10k. There is no way that works

I think an annual double header like the one we just had would be ideal. Keep it the same each year and make it an event.

It would be great for round 1. I think the NRL season starts before the AFL season too so could potentially sell out.

Ride on the back of the Vegas hype

 

[Centy Coast]

That gotta be the bare minimum.
If the bears are forced onto the Perth consortium then it won't go over well at all. But if the Perth consortium chose to align with the bears or the Jets then it will be accepted a lot more.

Many people in WA just want a NRL team, they are happy for it to be the Bears.
There is a recent Poll on the West Coast Pirates Facebook Page (2.3K members) that suggests as much.
Sure the page has been overtaken by the Bears fans, but that wasn’t hard was it Butt Wrinkles.

1). Perth team (Pirates, Reds, new name) no Bears whatsoever
20% 85 votes
(Perth Red and Butt Wrinkles voted for this one)

2). Joint Venture Bears
42% 177 votes

3). Don’t care just want a team in Perth
24%. 102 votes

4). Joint Venture, different team, mention below
0%. 2 votes

So option (2). obviously would’ve mostly been Bears fans, option (4). two Newtown fans, so that sounds just about right and option (1). and option (3). would’ve been Perth fans.
Once again Butt Wrinkles, you are in the minority.

I'm not really against any bid accept PNG .. I love the game and I'll support any venture but there's no way PNG works. For a comp as even as it is where anyone can win each week- such a great comp! Then we add PNG? they'll be flogged every week, it'll be no better than a bye.
It fails the sniff test on so many levels, so many! Literally the only reason it's considered is government money and even then, I don't want those slime balls involved in our game.

Anyone but PNG

Obviously you aren’t watching the raiders v cowboys game now

Geez that will go down well with Perth Red and his love for local suburban Sydney grounds lol.
The one way streets around the outer streets of Henson Park (well they are actually two way streets but they are the size of one way streets, it’s absolutely horrendous).
