I’ve got that tool on ignore lol

thats interesting, so they fronted the license fee and still got knocked back. What games is the nrl playing here?
Focus is on sorting out Perth

Maybe Moffatt has enemies from his time as nrl boss but if he’s put together such a good bid they should look past it it was almost 25 yrs ago

I didn’t mind him as nrl boss he tried hard he was just an outsider and the game has little patience for outsiders

With such a financially sound bid there must be other things at play otherwise they’d have met with them in christchurch last week. Same with the WA bid, I get the sense NS have totally white anted that and been in Vlandys ear.

Yep, like the Aluminati, there is a group of secret people behind the scenes using language & symbols through famous actors & singers, there is a secret group really making all the decisions on NRL Expansion. And their offices are at an outdated cricket ground in Sydney’s North.

Honestly from what i heard norths had little involvement in the bid

Contracts were signed about ip usage and other stuff and they left it in Cummins hand to negotiate with pvl.

If the bid still has wa investors involved with Sydney ones it’s not that big of a deal but the priority is sorting them out for team 18 with nz on the back burner

Reallly hope he doesn’t get chalmers on board his bid is horrendous (including Wellington) and he’s just a liar with no money

Was also odd that if they had concerns they knocked back opportunities to address those whilst actually in CHCH- seems bad faith regardless

No games, some bids are just all talk and just brand, some are all just money, some are just local juniors, but are cashless (see ipswich)
Keas are a bit of talk and money, zero juniors, they need to team up the endacott south island bid (the cashless juniors)
All these NZ bids are lacking what the other one needs, once they come together, they'll be instantly worthy...
Just like I said about Bears and Perf coming together, they'll be instantly favouritable, and they were, just thought it would've been for 2028, but PNG has taken that year due to sorting out their infrastructure

There you go with your ridiculous propaganda again.

How would Norths white ant anything? WA Consortium got given the IP and brand on a platter with no one to stand in the way and Cumins decided to listen to Freshwater Strategies absolute rubbish advice of how to utilise it.

They got Full Boar to whip up the most ridiculous, amateurish, piece of shit logo ever put together for an NRL side. Decided to not put in a fee. Constantly disengaged themselves from actually communicating with PVL through the process. None of that is Norths fault.

Nz2 is worth the most to tv

Perth bears value is largely getting new fans watching on tv from bears areas

Otherwise it’s just filler for existing eastern states viewers

Nz also offers filler for eastern states viewers and also value to sky nz
