18th club, whose next?

[Wb1234]

Unlikely unless you mean the elite pathways. In which case yes if they are going to own and run the club they will need to fund the pathways system from the clubs revenue plus any start up costs and ongoing top ups they need to make. WA govt is funding a schools program and extra participation funding.

If you were nicer to people on here you would get all the updates I do

You know ones you don’t get from Facebook

This was made public in April. Why is this even news?

Look whose back

Maybe the offer to join bids together since they were all rejected?
Anyway, it was published yesterday in the NewsCorp papers.

Chalmers is a snake oil salesman

He failed as Bradford owner

He has no money

If he’s involved in the team it will be a disaster

But mitigated by having a smart operator like searle involved

A joint bid with Wellington isn’t the best way forward either

I think it's been stated that they will be specifically a South Island bid now.

This is a merger between the bids, that is taking place as we speak.

Michael Searle's papers have been stamped. That bid is no chance.

Searle is a discharged bankrupt who is forever banned from being a director or a board member in Australia.

Media has since reported the curious passage for the Titans' NRL licence bid, from the application stage to gaining an NRL franchise. It was clouded with deception, fraud allegations and scandal, and continued until the sole director, Michael Searle, was removed—only recently—and the National Rugby League itself assumed ownership of the Titans NRL franchise.

Among a raft of entry conditions for franchisees, the NRL required a provision of a $15 million cash bond to ascertain and maintain a viability of the franchise. The bond, although assumed by the NRL to be in place, did not exist. It would appear that this deception by Michael Searle then extended to indicating falsely to the Commonwealth Bank that the NRL would contribute substantially—an amount of $4.6 million—to the construction of the centre of excellence. He also made other funding promises, such as a builders equity, which were not true.

Anyone who thinks he is a "good operator" is as brain addled as we all suspected (so @Wb1234 )

I lived on the Gold Coast during the years that he got a team there, witnessed the toil and fortitude to get Gold Coast a team, a new stadium and a competitive team from day 1 featuring the likes of Bailey, Prince and Rogers. Greatful to have shaken his hand and congratulate him on a job well done in getting the first expansion team into the League since the Super League war.
So what happened? The GFC happened and the Gold Coast was the worst hit place anywhere in Australia and it hit right at the competition of the multimillion dollar centre of excellence, of of the single worst financial blows seen in the crisis across the country .

He's working as a consultant and if anyone is due some luck , it Searle!

He is a criminal and de-frauded people out of money.

He has no place in any professional industry, let alone the NRL.

And afl set up a team against them and spent over a billion on them including getting thr afls best player there and the suns owning the management rights to their stadium whilst the titans had a horrendous rent deal at their ground paying 3 million pa

Their crowd initially were massive as well

Searle did such a good job he helped to set up the independent commission

The one pvl runs now

 

[Trifili13]

Maybe Searle and Cumins could put a joint bid in funded by us taxpayers like the PNG bid.

 

[Maximus]

Yeah, this has been posted about 47 times 3 days ago numbnuts.

It's funny, when he's asked to back up some bullshit claim, he says the article was posted, it doesn't need to be posted again, go back and look for it. Now he has posted the same article 15 times, although nobody can work out why.

That's right , I forgot about his role in founding the commission .
Of all the people who are responsible for putting together a successful bid from scratch since Super League, he's the best one...o that's right, he's the only one lol

I like Michael Searle but he’s backing the wrong bid

The kea bid is the one that’s got the most legs imo

Moffatt isn’t terrible and his cv is excellent

He’s done way more than I thought he has in terms of sports admin

Chalmers is bad news

If Searle did such a good job why did he run the club into the ground numbnuts?
Lol, David moffett is an absolute pelican.
And why do you consistently bring up fumbleball?

The same people criticising the Perth bid for including a guy who was sacked by the NRL are suggesting there is no issue with him being involved. They are just dumb trolls.

Wbtiktok trying so hard to prove she's the bestest rugby league fan of all time.

 

[Wb1234]

Th funniest thing about these dopes saying searle went broke have zero idea about rugby league history

Jj gillitnan (yes the shield is named after him) went broke by supporting a rugby league project

And he’s revered as one of the games greatest leaders
